I wonder what Space (in Canada) is doing to help, since I think they're now a production partner with the show since season 2. Canada, there's another genre show right here, do something!
Not really sure what your implication is. I don't have a "brand" I'm trying to project out there. All I ever do when I talk about the industry is offer my own insights, and occasionally share some information/things I've heard if I'm not under any sort of agreement to keep it secret and don't particularly know people involved.TVLine is a sister site of Deadline. To say one is reputable and one is not is just weird. From what I've seen of your posts though, it's certainly on brand.
Just so we're all clear, there won't be a new episode of "Mom" until Thursday, April 4. So don't expect to see it in the ratings charts (unless there's a rerun) until then.
I wouldn't know for Canada, but it airs on Thursdays in the US.

REBOOTBUT WHAT ABOUT GARAGE SALE MYSTERIES HALLMARK!? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT????
-Wins golden globe and an Emmy.With the upcoming tenth anniversary of Glee, it reminds me how very little these actors have achieved since. Hyped up so much back then, and the only breakout stars are the villain and the scrappy new lead. Darren Criss is the only one that is still somewhat relevant outside of those.
Somewhat relevant because aside from Versace he did like one or two episodes a year. And now he is the lead in the upcoming Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From such a huge cast, you would expect more. Even Friends you had each of them failing a huge new show every year.-Wins golden globe and an Emmy.
-"Somewhat relevant"
That aside, how often do TV actors ever really breakout beyond their hit show? I'd say Glee's yield is pretty much par for the course

Hahaha, Bob Saget is hosting this? In 2019? HahahahahhahaFinally decided to watch Videos After Dark...
This is terrible. Why did they think we wanted Bob Saget doing his weird voices again...
Just give my crass and dirty Saget but then again, this is on network TV...
So really what's the point of this? Kids saying swear words?
I won't be watching again which is unfortunate because I've always enjoyed Saget but this is like him at his worst imo.
Hope things finally work out behind the scenes! The potential is really there for the show#AmericanGods Renewed for Season 3, With #TheShield EP as New Showrunner https://tvline.com/2019/03/15/american-gods-renewed-season-3-starz/ … via @kimroots

On the first day of Hong Kong's Filmart industry confab, HBO Asia unveiled an ambitious trio of original series targeting international Chinese-language audiences and the growing Southeast Asian market.
The projects include the network's first sci-fi drama produced in Chinese, a fictional anthology series centered around food and a Taiwanese drama that takes place in the aftermath of a mass shooting.
Sci-fi project Dream Raider will follow a misfit team of scientists and cops who are trying to get to the bottom of a criminal conspiracy that exploits human consciousness. The eight-episode hourlong series draws together talent and production expertise from China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan, including actors Vivian Hsu, David Wang, Jason Wang, Weber Yang and Ellen Wu; executive producer and filmmaker, Cheang Pou-Soi; directors Daniel Fu and Simon Hung; and producer Freeman Xiang.
Food Lore, meanwhile, will be an eight-episode hourlong anthology series that explores the human condition through narratives inspired by Asian cuisines. Overseen by acclaimed Singaporean direct Eric Khoo, the series will be shot in eight Asian countries and directed by esteemed filmmakers from each territory, including Don Aravind (Singapore), Billy Christian (Indonesia), Takumi Saitoh (Japan), Ho Yuhang (Malaysia), Erik Matti (Philippines), Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (Thailand) and Phan Dang Di (Vietnam).
HBO Asian's third project — and perhaps the most daring new one — The World Between Us explores the aftermath of a fictional mass shooting in Taiwan, where the killer, the victims, the victims' families, the media and the defense teams find their fates all intertwined. Directed by Lin Chun-Yang and written by Lu Shih-Yuan, the ensemble cast includes Taiwanese talents Alyssa Chia, James Wen and Wu Kang-Jen.
Syfy is delving into a fantasy world — several, in fact — with its latest development project.
The NBCUniversal-owned cabler and Legendary TV have optioned author Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children books to develop as a TV series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Joe Tracz (Be More Chill, A Series of Unfortunate Events) has signed on to adapt the books.
The four-book series, beginning with Every Heart a Doorway, centers on a mysterious boarding school for students who have returned from trips to magical worlds where they were heroes or monsters and now have to readjust to being ordinary children. All of them are looking for a way back to their fantasy realms, but when students start turning up dead, those who remain team up to catch the killer — lest none of them ever get to go home again.
Netflix has set a new Bear Grylls adventure for next month. The streamer said today that You vs. Wild, an eight-episode interactive family series fronted by the survival expert and TV veteran, will premiere April 10.
Each episode features an interactive experience with multiple choices, where a user can direct the course of the story.
The Netflix logline: Dense jungles, towering mountains, brutal deserts and mysterious forests await, with tough decisions around every corner. In this groundbreaking interactive adventure series, you make all the decisions and whether or not Bear succeeds or fails is totally up to you.
That seems like the best choice.
That'd be a steep launch price given the lack of content initially.
It'll probably be something like the Apple Music free trial program.I thought there were reports on Apple's streaming service being free for iOS and Apple TV owners? Or was that just a baseless rumor?
BRYAN FULLER STRIKES AGAIN!"Amazing Stories," a Steven Spielberg Reboot
Revival of the NBC series of the same name. After its own showrunner problems — the original producer's vision was too dark for almost everyone involved, including Mr. Spielberg — Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the duo behind the ABC series "Once Upon a Time," took over. Expected to wrap soon.

Deadline said:I hear there is a standard clause in the deals for Netflix series from outside studios that prevents the shows from airing elsewhere for a significant period of time, said to be 2-3 years, making a continuation on another network/platform virtually impossible. That is probably why we haven't seen CBS TV Studios' comedy "American Vandal" — a breakout hit for Netflix when it launched but canceled in October after two seasons — move to CBS All Access.
Deadline said:Netflix is unabashedly data driven, with many of its decisions based on algorithms. That's how the network reportedly switched from the initial (and traditional) 13-episode seasons to seasons of 10 episodes or less. Word is that those shorter seasons are considered optimal for consumption, and any additional episodes beyond 10 a season do not add value, so they are an unnecessary expense for the network.
The same goes for the number of seasons. If a show has not broken out in a big way during its first couple of seasons, there has been chatter Netflix does not see significant growth potential beyond Season 3 (and sometimes beyond Season 2).
Deadline said:Netflix's strategy to grow subscription base is focused on introducing new series all the time, sometimes multiple ones each weekend. According to industry observers, fans of some of the canceled series would be disappointed by their demise but not upset enough to drop Netflix as there is new product coming out all the time that catches their attention.
Deadline said:There was some back-and-forth between Netflix and Marvel TV, including the network requesting a season-order trim from 13 to 10 episodes, before the streaming giant pulled the plug on all Marvel series that it had picked up years ago at a very high price. (There were creative issues on some shows as well.) The first Marvel series were a big draw as they were among the handful of original series on the service. Two, three seasons in, the shows didn't get the same attention because of the huge volume of new product. Netflix has built an adequate Marvel library, which will live on the service, while the Internet company cut a major expense by canceling the superhero series to invest in new fare.
Apple's not bulletproof. The feedback so far from producers and directors has been less than stellar. On top of that, count on Apple to do something stupid like only make the service available on Apple TV, a random TV mfr, iOS devices, and a web browser.

Steven Kane (TNT's The Last Ship, The Closer) has boarded the live-action drama as co-showrunner. In his new role, Kane will serve alongside showrunner Kyle Killen (Lone Star, Awake).
Sources say the decision to bring in a second showrunner came directly from Killen, who wanted to focus on the big-budget drama's stateside production — including writing and producing — as he sought a partner who was able to spend the better part of a year in Budapest during physical production on Halo. Killen is expected to be on set but not full time. Showtime, in announcing the June 2018 series pickup, called Halo its "most ambitious series ever."
Deadline has an interesting write-up about why Netflix shows are unable to find new homes after they are cancelled, and what this could mean for the freshly-cancelled "One Day at a Time." Apparently, they are trying to change up how we watch TV and have very little interest in keeping shows around after 2-3 seasons, unless it's a big breakout hit like "Stranger Things," "Grace and Frankie," "House of Cards," and "Orange is the New Black."
Yeah, was odd to see that posted. Wouldn't it also be strange for them to not retain streaming rights for the first couple seasons if someone else bought it?Looks like Starz has scrubbed all traces of Counterpart from their website and app - I can't think of why they would do this unless the rights have been purchased by another company. Season three incoming?
My boyfriend says that all the time too, and ever since he first started saying it, it's like my eyes have been opened to how many shows are so good because they're only 3 seasons long ("Happy Endings," "Arrested Development" before it was revived, and now "One Day at a Time" come to mind) or start to get bad shortly after.I have my problems with Netflix, but limiting shows to a few seasons is awesome and I love it. Most shows don't really need more than three seasons.
