I just don't like those type of endings.^^^Why? It was pretty much a perfect series finale and made me wish it was the actual end.

After the SHIELD and B99 finales, I almost wish they weren't renewed. Perfect endings for both of them.
With B99 they never planned for that to be the ending, so they likely had an idea of what they want next for a long time.And that's the fear I had for both. Adding more to what feels like a finnisher, can ruin a show :/ You don't want shows like Brooklyn to have that turning point like "everything sucked after the wedding" or "the show took a weird turn when going on NBC" etc. I've seen this so much going through some older shows lately.

And now back to Deadline for the actual shows:Atrium TV, the drama-commissioning club for pay-TV platforms and telcos, has set out a new slate that includes shows from Michael Douglas, Ava DuVernay, David Simon, and the producers of "Sherlock." "Quasimodo," which was shown to Atrium members last October, will also move forward, joining the already-announced moon-landing project "One Giant Leap" from veteran producer Mike Medavoy.
...
[Atrium] has members from different regions who are presented with projects that they can co-fund and market locally as originals. The members, including Televisa, Viaplay, BT TV, and Deutsche Telekom, gathered in L.A. on Sunday to get a first look at a new slate of projects.
Silo, a violent drama set in a future San Francisco which has become, because of diminished resources and over population, one of the many global cities to have created silos – ultimate gated communities of people gathered behind walls or natural barriers. Oscar-winner Douglas did a video presentation for the show which is written by Peter Horton (American Odyssey) and Raelle Tucker (True Blood), with Horton and Douglas producing.
A Dry Run: The Lincolns In Spain is the six part mini series created by The Wire's David Simon and set during the Spanish Civil War. Based on real events, the series will follow those who went to fight fascism in Spain in the years prior to World War II, including America's Abraham Lincoln Battalion. Characters will also include George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway.
Doctor Zhivago is an eight part series, created out of the UK by Sherlock producers Hartswood Films (Beryl Vertue, Sue Vertue), together with Foz Allan (Riviera). Michael First (Vikings) is onboard as writer, adapting Boris Pasternak's classic novel of sweeping political drama and romance for a contemporary audience.
The Last Amazon is an epic historical series from Gaumont (Narcos). Written by Rafe Judkins, produced by Gene Stein (Narcos) and with Ava DuVernay (A Wrinkle In Time) attached to executive produce, the character-driven series will focus on the great Amazon Queens such as Antiope and Hippolyta, portraying their loves and major battles, notably, their campaign against the Ancient Greeks.
Meanwhile, heading into production from Atrium's first drama slate are moon-landing project One Giant Leap from vet producer Mike Medavoy and Quasimodo. The former, which is being written by Stephen Kronish (24), is due to shoot later this year, while Quasimodo is being written by Ashley Pharoah (Life On Mars)
Heck Gotham as well,After the SHIELD and B99 finales, I almost wish they weren't renewed. Perfect endings for both of them.
I think most/all of those have streaming services/networks, much like how Comcast owns NBC, AT&T have Audience. I know for a fact that Viaplay is one, so it's not primarily for mobile phones.What an entirely bizarre set of shows for a network created by a group of mobile phone operators. You'd think they would focus on more short, non episodic youth driven content than what seems to be BBC/PBS kind of historical dramas.
I think we need more on the plot of silo as it sounds its just the usual YA dystopia novel setting like say Divergent or Maze Runner.Michael Douglas, David Simon, Ava DuVernay, 'Sherlock' Producer Behind New Dramas For Atrium TV
Okay so Variety had the better explanation of wtf Atrium is:
And now back to Deadline for the actual shows:
I guess we're actually getting that Spanish Civil War show from David Simon after all! I actually like the sound of all four shows at a glance.

Really? Cause outside of the silo it sounds pretty different. I love the books though so I'm down if they are looking to adapt itI believe Silo is based on the books by Hugh Howey. Assuming they don't screw it up, it could be really good.
Glow Season 2 June 29th fuck yeah!
edit: holy shit im a month late with this lol :(
Aren't networks required to announce their renewals/cancellations no later than their upfronts? That has come and gone for NBC.
If it's gone, at least let us know.

"We try to give the producers [the courtesy] of letting their shows run and seeing what they do before we make a decision that's premature," [Greenblatt] said. "Champions still has a few episodes to go and Timeless has its finale tonight, so we'll make our decisions after that. … We'll take a look at those shows after their runs and hopefully make a relatively quick decision on that."

WWE and Fox Sports are currently closing a deal for "SmackDown" to shift to the Fox broadcast channel in Fall 2019, TheWrap has learned exclusively. The popular pro-wrestling show will air there on Fridays, a person with knowledge of the deal told us.
The weekly sister series to WWE's "Raw" currently airs live each Tuesday on the USA Network from 8-10 p.m.
WWE declined comment on this story when reached by TheWrap. Fox Sports did not immediately return our request for comment.
Last Man Standing gonna get moved to Sundays if it sticks around that long?Seems that Fox acquired the rights to WWE Smackdown and will air it on Fridays (starting 2019).
Ghosted is almost certainly cancelled, Fox just isn't going to say anything until it airs the rest of its episodes in July.We're still waiting on Ghosted and that finished its season in January
Dead silence could actually mean good things for Altered Carbon, maybe they're hiring better writers or thinking about switching the actors for season 2? Ortega was a babe but the actress was pretty bad.
Not necessarily. Just take a look at the anthology series American Horror Story and how many actors are cast in different roles from season to season.They wouldn't bring back any of the old cast anyway. The books are anthology style with the only constant being Takeshi (in a new body -- which also means new actor).
What were the Live+3 and +7 numbers for the Timeless finale anyway? I'm curious if the show's uncertain status and cliffhanger had any effect on ratings.Since it a late midseason show, it will find out its fate a little later than usual.
A quote from upfronts:
It'll be soon, I'm guessing they're looking at Live+3 (or 7) DVR numbers and streaming to make their decision, but it's definitely unfair for the fans to leave things quiet for too long.
Due to really messed up scheduling, technically B99 was at least partially on Sunday every season, for a year longer than Last Man on Earth. But if you don't count that, then yes it was (at least since 2005 with animation domination).Wast Last Man on Earth the longest running non animated show on Fox Sunday nights?
Sundays does feel like where they send live action to die for Fox. But then again it is always some trash. I love Ghosted though. But that plane show looked like somebody lost a betDue to really messed up scheduling, technically B99 was at least partially on Sunday every season, for a year longer than Last Man on Earth.

I was actually looking for the finale's ratings specifically, to see if it improved over the usual increases.Screengrabbed the Wikipedia ratings. Not sure if it's the +3 or the +7 numbers, though (and looks like they stopped updating the page a few weeks back), but it nearly doubles the viewership.
The finale did a 0.6/3 for live + same day, according to TVBytheNumbers.

Married With Children was on Sundays for 10+ of it's seasons.Malcolm in the Middle did 7 seasons on Sundays a long time ago

Seems that Fox acquired the rights to WWE Smackdown and will air it on Fridays (starting 2019).
So basically no scripted programming on Thursdays (Football) or Fridays (WWE). The recent blood bath kind of makes sense now.
As far as anthology series go, that is definitely the exception rather than the rule.Not necessarily. Just take a look at the anthology series American Horror Story and how many actors are cast in different roles from season to season.
