I figured The CW probably has a very good reason for passing - beyond just clashing with Charmed - considering how consistently strong the Supernatural fanbase has been.
'Jane the Virgin,' 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,' 'iZombie' Set to End on The CW
I think we knew about CXG and JTV, but I do think the iZombie confirmation is new. It's still pretty astonishing how long some of them were allowed to run.
The cast of Netflix's Arrested Development are getting their back pay.
Two weeks after The Hollywood Reporter reported that the stars of the revived comedy from 20th Century Fox Television took issue with the expanded and "recut" fourth season of the Netflix comedy, the studio has agreed to pay the cast for seven additional episodes. Actors including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera and David Cross, among others, will receive additional compensation based on the sliding scale that was used to determine their original season four salaries.
Representatives from 20th TV and Netflix declined to comment.
The dispute, another example of the TV industry's complex economics, erupted after the stars were not happy creator Mitch Hurwitz and 20th TV re-edited the 15-episode fourth season to become a full 22 with the hope of providing a new lure for fans as well as landing a lucrative syndication deal for the series.
I expected as such. Both went on much longer tha most networks would let them.'Jane the Virgin,' 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,' 'iZombie' Set to End on The CW

http://tvline.com/2018/05/17/wayward-sisters-cancelled-pilot-supernatural-spinoff/Wayward Sisters won't be doin' it for themselves this fall — and now we know why. Explaining his network's decision not to order the high-profile Supernatural spinoff to series, CW president Mark Pedowitz told reporters early Thursday, "We are big fans of the characters and the women who played those characters. But we did not feel creatively that the show was where we wanted it to be. And we felt we had a better shot with [Originals spinoff] Legacies."
More real than Fox.Look at all those shows. It's like The CW is a real network now!
Still up in the air along with Timeless and a few other shows on other networks.Did NBC ever cancel Champions? It's a show I expected to not come back but I don't recall reading news on it going either way.
Wow, they're really taking their time on those.Still up in the air along with Timeless and a few other shows on other networks.
That was PR speak for "the show wasn't good enough". I don't see how it was fluff. They know that a Supernatural spin-off would probably have a better shot, it means that Wayward Sisters clearly wasn't ready to air.Sounds like PR fluff. There's no way that a spinoff of The Originals does better than Wayward Sisters for them. And they're going to air it after Supernatural? Get ready to have Supernatural viewers angrily change the channel.
Definitely one of the most nonsensical decisions I've seen from a network in years.
Brad Kern is exiting his role as executive producer/showrunner of NCIS: New Orleans. He will serve as consultant on the series going forward. NCIS: New Orleans executive producer Chris Silber has been named new showrunner.
The move comes months after word surfaced in December that Kern had been been the subject of two Human Resources investigations by CBS TV Studios while working on the studio's popular CBS crime procedural. Both reportedly were triggered by complaints from co-workers about a hostile work environment on the show.
Known for his sometimes abrasive behavior that I hear has led to at least one staff departure, Kern's name began coming up in the context of the crackdown on sexual harassment in Hollywood in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Two high-profile showrunners, Andrew Kreisberg (The Flash, Supergirl) and Mark Schwahn, were ousted following brief investigations into sexual harassment accusations by the studios they work for.

A backdoor pilot isn't an indication of the scripts being delivered behind the scene. Pre-production could've been a disaster and they were turning in junk.We know the show was good enough. The fan reaction was very positive. That's why they're upset about this but not when Bloodlines wasn't picked up.

They're not going to trash the series but there was probably significant issues if they had that many open spots and it couldn't get it in.
Did Wayward Sisters actually film a conventional pilot or is the backdoor pilot the only bit of show ever to be filmed?
I have no idea what God Friended Me is, but they were filming outside my apartment in March, so that will get them one episode out of me.
Dynasty got a second season probably due to CW's deal with Netflix.Sorry, I don't buy that excuse from the network that gave Dynasty a second season. I also firmly believe there is no way that a spinoff of The Originals is somehow a noticeably higher quality than Wayward Sisters.
I think the idea that they thought it would be too close to Charmed is the most likely reason. Which is nonsense, of course.
Did you already know the title back when they were filming near you? Or did you see the trailer and recognize your neighborhood?
I kind of want to run into filming at some point. I know a couple things have been shot in Philadelphia so maybe I should try actually going to the areas they are
What the hell was that Seal Team ending? I knew something was up with Jason but still, what an odd ending.
For me it's really hard to believe that's true and writers/showrunners should lose jobs if the final product was indeed a steaming pile of shit. They've had around 2 years to prepare for the spin-off and all the Supernatural episodes they've done with these characters were okay/good/great. And even if they didn't have enough material for a full season they could've ordered a 13 episodes season and delay it to midseason to work on improvements.That was PR speak for "the show wasn't good enough". I don't see how it was fluff. They know that a Supernatural spin-off would probably have a better shot, it means that Wayward Sisters clearly wasn't ready to air.
When walking around, at least here in NYC, you'll see these colored signs taped to poles that say like no parking or filming scheduled, then list the dates and times and "Project Name."
When I was coming home from work in March, I saw one that said God Friended Me. I was actually out of town in Austin during the scheduled days, but there's a huge church across the street from me, so I'm assuming they were filming outside of that.
Should have done a pilot at the very least. The show had to stand on its own without Jenson and Jarad. A pilot would have shown that much more clearly and showed how different the show as going to be. Honestly I felt the first backdoor pilot episode they did for the Bloodlines spin off idea showed how much more different another show within that universe could be.
I'm calling bullshit.That was PR speak for "the show wasn't good enough". I don't see how it was fluff. They know that a Supernatural spin-off would probably have a better shot, it means that Wayward Sisters clearly wasn't ready to air.
Well as long as you're not being petty.Fuck Vampire Diaries and "The Originals", is where I'm at. I hope it crashes and burns.
I'm calling bullshit.
Same showrunners, proven universe and characters that are popular, with actresses that are well known and liked by the fanbase, with a potential for Sam & Dean to appear as guest stars and have cross over events.
Am i the only one who assumed Murphy Brown was a black man from the name?
I also firmly believe there is no way that a spinoff of The Originals is somehow a noticeably higher quality than Wayward Sisters.
Well considering that Vampire Diaries and The Originals at their best were way better than Supernatural ever was
Ah yes, all those superhero shows taking away from all those quality shows that were airing on The CWIs he responsible for the superhero crap?
The sooner hes out the better, I miss having quality shows on.
