Watch The Bureau (Le Bureau des Légendes), it is the show that has come closest to (tbh, superseding) Rubicon.
It's so freaking good (so good in fact that it was my top pick of last year), it's available on Sundance Now (I think it's even still free?) if you're in the US.
And it has 3 seasons with a 4th one coming this year!

I'm definitely going to be watching The Bureau during the summer, your mentions of it and reading up on it have definitely gotten me super interested!

I'd bet good money on Netflix-NBC getting it.

NBC gets the domestic rights and Netflix the international. NBC is in the Mike Schur game since he's given them some of their best shows. Plus teaming up with Netflix a la CW and "Riverdale" means there's an affordable way to save it.

Wow, ABC has been really holding out on some renewals with the updated list.

They do this every year. ABC will still wait until the last minute to announce renewals and cancellations. It's extremely aggravating but it's still nowhere near annoying as it was during the Paul Lee days. In those days, we would wait to hear if a show was renewed or not even if it had the highest ratings of the season. I'm so glad those days are behind us.

According to Deadline, the Lee Daniels comedy series Our People is dead

A man from a bombastic African family who doesn't have a word in their native language for "privacy" and his fiancée from a Midwestern family try to build a normal life together — though nobody can agree what that "normal" means.

Also dead is Gone Baby Gone

Armed with their wits, street knowledge and an undeniable chemistry, private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro right wrongs that the law can't in the working-class Boston borough of Dorchester. Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane.

Not confirmed yet but likely CW pilot orders (via spoilertv)...

Thanks to the detective work of our readers, we might now know which shows CW has ordered to series before they make the official announcement sometime this week.

When a network orders a pilot, they usually create a Twitter account to "book" the handle in case it does get ordered to series. Earlier today, CW updated a few of these accounts with the CW banner and bio. Twitter accounts for Wayward Sisters, Charmed, Roswell New Mexico, In the Dark, The End of the World As We Know it have all been updated, so we think those might have been ordered to series.

The Twitter accounts for Skinny Dip, Dead Inside and Playing Dead are still blank, so looks like those did not get ordered and were likely passed by CW.

Right! I remember that one of the networks always pulled it, ABC being the one slipped my mind. Were they the ones that always dropped things on Friday at 4pm?

Yep! Doesn't matter if it was a long-running show like Grey's Anatomy or Modern Family, the renewals/cancellations would always come on the last day on Friday at 4pm PST.

Thanks I'll definitely check it out.

Speaking of slow burn spy shows what ever happened to the sequel to the night manager? Anyone know

Unless hulu picks up last man on Earth, this has to go down as one of the worst series finales in history of television. Massive cliffhanger at the end and tons of stuff unanswered. Not too happy about it at all.

Syfy has cancelled The Expanse.

It will be shopped to other networks.

The cancellation decision by Syfy is said to be linked to the nature of its agreement for the series, which only gives the cable network first-run linear rights in the US. That puts an extraordinary amount of emphasis on live, linear viewing which is inherently challenging for sci-fi/genre series which tend to draw the lion share of their audiences from digital/streaming.

Quick question on this, as I loved the book- it's my understanding that the future plotline has been dropped with the pilot retool? If so, that's incredibly disappointing as the future stuff was what set the book apart from your run of the mill vampire thing.

Fox picking it up never made sense anyway, since it was destined to be a cable show and FX already had The Strain.

Dammit, SyFy... hope Prime can get it.

I know they don't get much love around here, but the BBT and Young Sheldon finales tonight were perfect. I think it's dusty in here...

You could see the writing on the wall for The Expanse given that it's an expensive production with declining ratings that were never that great to begin with. Disappointing for sure, but not really surprising. Syfy gave it a good shot to pick up viewership, but it never really happened.

Speechless just got renewed for a third season, so hopefully more ABC pickups/cancellations coming soon.

Eww gross. I was skeptical of the show, having loved the books, but now I'm outright done. Ahhh who am I kidding I'll probably still hate watch it

Hopefully a network that's more accessible online than damned Syfy gets The Expanse. Not every digital TV service (Sling, Vue, etc.) has Syfy, and Hulu and Netflix don't really have anything from them besides Battlestar Galactica. I got to see one season of The Expanse on Amazon Prime, then ... nothing.

Oh and I hope it gets a fourth season somewhere

Wouldn't surprise me if Netflix grabbed The Expanse, it's already a "original" in Europe and they recently said they want to invest in more sci fi shit.

Yeah Netflix would seem like a great fit for The Expanse. However Amazon has US streaming rights, I believe, and not sure if Netflix would be able to get them back for the first 3 seasons.
