2018-19 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Perfectionist Horseman commits perjury, held In Contempt

Sunday night's ratings. Everyone was just watching Killing Eve on AMC/BBC America anyway, right?:
Can't wait for more Lodge 49. The first season was one of the best shows of the year and I can't wait to see where they go with it.
It mentions production in Virgina... Jesus can we get an interesting setting please nearly 10 years of Georgia and Fear's setting was even worse as soon as they ditched the boat.
Variety: 'Killing Eve' Renewed for Season 3, Sets New Showrunner.
I really gotta have to get around to this show soon-ish.

The only show who could ever reach me. Was the spawn of a cancelled man
A few episodes into last season was my personal final season. Christ, what a terrible show.
This is the first I'm hearing of it, but its not too surprising considering the ratings for the show were not spectacular and just the overall story. I thought Season 3 was definitely better than 2 and left me on a more positive note leading into Season 4.

Nope.
The trades are reporting on it now, not providing much more detail than what's in Seth's tweet. The only notable detail from Deadline's reporting is:
Yeah, it's an absolute bloodbath for shows I watch.
I might finally have a chance to catch up on my Netflix/Amazon backlog.
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to this. Started some shows, but put them on hold because of bad timimg with top priority stuff came out soon after. I want to lower my Netflix/Hulu queue, because it becomes a game of "which should I finish first?"
I was just wondering the other day when they would announce its return. Hopefully season 2 ends up being just as good as season 1.
Shows I watch that are ending this year or next season:
Preacher
Veep
Game of Thrones
Homeland
The Affair
Legion
Schitt's Creek
Mr. Robot
Crazy Ex GF
Broad City
You're the Worst
Easy
Jessica Jones
Orange is the New Black
Catastrophe
Supernatural
At least. That's if I'm not forgetting things.

Warrior on Cinemax - 157K for the premiere.
For comparison, w/r/t premieres on the rebooted Cinemax:
New-Nu Strike Back S1: 135K; S2: 116K
Rellik: 58K
CB Strike: 180K
Outcast S2: 149K
Tales from the Tour Bus S2: 31K
Seems like a fairly decent start, all things considered. Still though they've got to be disappointed that it didn't do better considering how much it cost them. S2 is already in development of course, but I hope they're in it for the long haul... (obv curious to see what the on demand numbers are)
Hmm. I figured this one would still be a ways away because they've got 32 weeks a year of Walking Dead already and I assumed the third series would act as an eventual replacement for either the main show or Fear. I'm guessing they'll sandwich the 10 episode first season in between TWD 10.B and FtWD 6.A (assuming they're not building towards an ending for Fear this year - it's popular enough to get renewed for a few more seasons). It could also conceivably be exclusive to their streaming service.
At any rate, it'll be really interesting to see how they make it feel different from the other shows - the main characters will be "the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it", which sounds like it's going to take place in the near future and they're filming in Virginia vs Atlanta for TWD and Austin for FtWD, so it will at least have somewhat different scenery.
No but I think most assumed it would be.

Lol @ New-Nu Strike Back. You would think Cinemax wouldn't really expect a ton of people to tune in live on a Friday night, I imagine a lot of people will catch the show over the weekend. Hope the DVR/On-Demand numbers bump up and I imagine the show could benefit from word of mouth.

The Umberlla Academy.
odd I interpreted this as disappointing for the amount of money Netflix is overspending on talent recruitment and content creation. Movies seem to be an area that Netflix might need to pull out of of.Oh hey a study on what is popular on Netflix that isn't methodologically absolute trash (god fuck Parrot Analytics so hard):

Also I guess CW needs Netflix.

This is the only HBO sequel series of the year that matters.

Grace and Frankie so high :)
The High Fidelity TV show is moving from Disney+ to Hulu, further enforcing the fact that anything over PG-13 will go there instead of to the other service.

Killing Eve breakdown:
769K on AMC
403K on BBC America
1.172 million total
What's surprising though is that A Discovery of Witches also did really well (it already aired previously on Sundance Now and Shudder) - even better than Killing Eve (on AMC)!
853K on AMC
225K on BBC America
1.078 million total
They could have just aired Killing Eve by itself, so pairing it with ADoW turned out to be a really savvy move.

Hulu is a dick. But does not have this dick. (because they cancelled it)
I haven't watched the final episode yet, but I absolutely love this show.
I love how there's a real focus on the individuals competing. As someone who is terrified of planes, it also makes the prospect of travelling a bit more interesting - mainly because you can experience so much.
Really hope it makes a return.

Yeah. I don't mind that it's still fairly scripted (the "jobs" they find are clearly preplanned) and there's still the artificiality that comes from having a camera crew run with you - people are going to help people followed by cameras - but I enjoy how relatively low key it is and how it's more focused on the travel and what they see.
There was a show from the early 2000s where there were no "checkpoints" whatsoever and people had to figure out how to get to a place by any means possible from halfway across the world, and I wouldn't mind if the teams could just choose to go anyway they wanted rather than be funnelled to a specific place, but I can understand still wanting the "drama" of people rubbing against each other.
I believe Big Mouth was renewed not long after season two came out in the fall. It should be in fall 2019 again!
AMC really has the numbers. Thats cool. Although Killing Eve would have probably done well even on a single channel. But I'm really happy that its on multiple. That lead in for A Discovery of Witches is nice. I didn't watch the show but was considering it. If I do, it is probably the last on the list of things I have to watch
Renewed a while ago. I think they even referenced season 3 will be coming soon or something along those lines in that Valentine's special that aired a couple of months ago.
My wife is a massive Fannibal and it just makes her a little annoyed tbh because she thinks Hannibal is a much better Killing Eve.
Side note, it's very annoying how we can't watch season 2 on Hulu Live. I am edging towards getting a different streaming service.. we still haven't been able to watch new episodes of Drunk History from this season either. I assume one of the other services must have these channels..
