Broad City's next season will be its last.
The end of Broad City is in sight.

The previously announced fifth season of the Comedy Central critical favorite will be its last. The final season of Broad City will air in early 2019, more than a year after its fourth cycle ended. Meanwhile, stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson have signed a larger first-look television deal with Comedy Central parent company Viacom, with three projects already in development for their soon-to-be former network. The first-look pact covers Glazer and Jacobson together as well as individually.

Kristen Chenoweth joins "Trial & Error: Lady, Killer" We also get a release date: July 19th!
NBC describes the new season like this: In the spirit of true crime documentaries, the second season of this outrageous fish-out-of-water comedy centers on bright-eyed New York lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D'Agosto), still relatively a newcomer in a tiny southern town, who is sturdily posed for his next big case there. His mission? To defend the eccentric first lady of East Peck, Lavinia Peck-Foster (Chenoweth), known for her flamboyant outfits, large hats and hairless cat, and who suddenly finds herself accused of the bizarre murder of her beloved husband."

Damn. Over a year wait till the premiere. Still, a summer release may benefit it since they don't have to aim to high ratings wise.

Still a miracle it got a second season. Secret best comedy last year.
Definitely the sleeper hit of last season, hope it gets many more seasons.

I wonder why they haven't announced the fate of Divorce yet? It got quite a bit more viewers than Crashing and seemed to have a bit more buzz as well.

(also, crossing my fingers for a Here and Now renewal - it's not great, but it's grown on me and I want to see what they can do in a second season after factoring in viewer/critical feedback)


I love the show, but I think that's the right move. 5 is a substantial number of seasons for a show like this - one that allows enough space for them to do their thing without getting stale.

no Lost in Space reviews and its out tomrow? thats never a good sign >_>

There are 17 reviews on Metacritic - 9 mixed, 7 positive, 1 negative.

Here and Now has actually grown on me a bit too. I'd watch a second season of it.

I have to admit I was glad to see Lost in Space get weak enough reviews that I don't feel bad skipping it. The last thing I need is to add another streaming show to my backlog.

I thought it was just me!

I think I'll still watch it, but it's definitely not a priority for me.

HBO Orders Pilot For 'Run' Comedic Thriller From 'Fleabag' Duo
HBO has given a pilot green light to Run, a romantic comedic thriller from Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her frequent collaborator Vicky Jones, with Waller-Bridge set for a recurring role. The project hails from Entertainment One, Jones and Waller-Bridge's DryWhite and Wigwam Films.

Written by Jones, Run is about about ex-lovers who made a pact 15 years ago that if they ever needed to escape life, they could send each other a simple text message – "RUN" – and impulsively disappear together. Run is their story.

Waller-Bridge will recur as Flick.

I find it odd that Amazon gets shows starring Sharon Horgan and Phoebe Waller-Bridge and their produced shows end up elsewhere.

All Hail PWB.

Neither Fleabag nor Catastrophe are Amazon made shows, both stem from UK public service (BBC and Channel 4 respectively). Amazon just bought the rights for those particular shows and are too dumb to snatch up the creative team.

Amazon is a mess right now with the number of management changes that have been made. It seems like the big, splashy deals are being completed, but a lot of their less prominent content management is falling through the cracks. We'll see how things evolve over the next year as they try and right the ship.

(what if Amazon got Phoebe Waller-Bridge to showrun the Lord of the Rings prequel series. And it was about the Ents.)

RatskyWatsky dead souls definitely interested to hear some details about Here and Now since you both (IIRC) and critics were pretty down on it first. I was hoping for it to be worthwhile but the initial reaction definitely put me off of it some.

-

On a separate note, any FNL fans in here? Rise had gotten very good very quickly so I wanted to point anyone interested in that kind of show in it's direction. It's from Jason Katims who made FNL and Parenthood. It became compelling much faster than the latter show did. As much as I enjoyed Parenthood a lot it took a while to become a favorite for me and the plotting and characterization could be pretty inconsistent at times. Rise hasn't suffered from either of those pitfalls so far, on the contrary it's been great.

Rise thread is here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ri...om-jason-katims-of-fnl-parenthood-fame.29311/

Man.

People who watch Roseanne, knowing the kind of person she is.

So disappointing.
I think between Louis CK and this show, I honestly have no idea how I feel about the pure boycott stance now. Particularly with Roseanne, since literally no one has bothered making a show like it in the last 10 years even though the audience is clearly there.

But will Lisa Kudrow also come back for a guest spot? Hope they get a Janeane Garofalo look-alike also.

I thought this was already a thing but I guess I was thinking of that really awful and short lived show by just Paul Reiser and around the time that was made the show "Mad About You" must have also been mentioned.


EDIT: Lol. The show I was thinking of "The Paul Reiser Show" literally lasted a single week and aired two episodes before its cancellation.

As a southern Californian, that West Covina, Cali, in the thread title bugs me so much. No one would ever say that.

Does anyone know anything much about the show "Nobodies"? I was just thinking about TV Land shows I've watched and just occurred to me that I don't know why it moved to Paramount. Is it cause Paramount and TV Land are connected? I know another show I was watching, Lopez, was cancelled. Did the same thing happen to Nobodies but it got picked up by Paramount?

It's not Cali as in short for California, it's Cali as in the first beat when Rachel sings "West Covina. Cali-fornia" from the opening song from CXG. So "cancelled" is replacing "fornia"

Look, I just tried getting in two references in one bad joke title. Lessons have been learned.

The spinoff of "Bad Boys" officially gets a title and it's super generic: L.A.'s Finest.
In L.A.'s Finest, written by Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier and directed by Anton Cropper, the free-spirited former DEA agent Burnett has a fresh start in her new job as an LAPD detective. She's partnered with Nancy McKenna (Alba), a working mom who can't help but look at Syd's freedom with some grass-is-greener envy. These two have totally different lifestyles and approaches, but they both are at the top of their fields in this action-packed, character-driven procedural. (You can see the duo in character on the set below)

But why tho? I mean, I remember liking Mad About You but... it's such an odd choice.

I decided to give The Good Doctor a go and ended up watching the entire season. It's actually not terrible. Also, Will Yun Lee plays a former cop turned doctor on the show, so I've made it my head canon that Wei Shen decided to say fuck the triads and the cops and became a doctor.

Paramount Network and TV Land are both owned by Viacom. Viacom was restructuring their channels last year and decided to shift a bunch of TV Land's programming over to the new Paramount Network - including Nobodies, a retooled Heathers, and American Woman. This was done primarily to strengthen Paramount Network's (which is Viacom's main focus on the TV side) appeal to women (Paramount Network was formerly Spike TV, a channel aimed solely at men). Viacom's goal is to give Paramount Network a more 50/50 male/female split ala AMC and FX, you see.
