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

Netflix has significantly upped it's output over the past year, to the point where they're releasing several new shows, movies, and documentaries every friday. More and more stuff is going into my queue, because I simply don't have the time to just watch Netflix every night and binge shows in a single week just to watch the next best thing.
I love Kimmy Schmidt, but I have yet to watch the final batch of episodes, I'm probably never going to finish Unfortunate Events, I'm skipping Dirty John, I don't know if I ever will get around to Kingdom. I hope to get around to Umbrella Academy after I finish ODAAT and Club de Cuervos, then after that maybe I can finally watch Russian Dolls. But the Formula 1 documentary is on March 8th and that will get priority first, etc.
Netflix shows oddly enough have to compete more than ever, with other Netflix shows.
^^^Yep. The Netflix deluge is pretty annoying, and it's no surprise a lot of stuff gets lost in the shuffle.
Those are some really good points. Netflix has to know how the show has been doing for the last three years, so they've likely budgeted accordingly. If anything, it felt like this season got a bigger budget with the guest stars and more sets outside of the apartment.
I do wonder sometimes how well the show would do if it were on a network like CBS or ABC. But then I wonder if the show would even be the same with the subjects they cover.
YEEEEEEET.
Interesting they mention that it will be based on a known horror title. The first one that springs to mind is Amityville, but I don't know if the IP holders will allow Flanagan and co. to work with that.

Bathurst is probably an upgrade from Wyatt, tbh. Dude has done really solid TV work, esp. with Peaky Blinders.
amazing news two-fold, A) for more Haunting of Hill House (well, Haunting of "something") and B) for Flanagan's deal with Netflix
edit: is that actual werewolves I see and not just "wolves" as every Lycanthrope in media from the last 15 years? Just for that I might give this show a shot (it doesnt look good tho lol)

I do wonder when people stop taking their projects to Netflix because so many things get absolutely buried and are left to die after one or two seasons if they don't really break out.
That's not how I anticipated the PS4 game's world being revisited.

Cool and I'm glad they decided to go with an anthology format rather than extending the cast/story of the first season.
:(
CBS has to be so disappointed with The World's Best. Endless promos and a post-Super Bowl slot and it can't even do 1/4th of The Masked Singer's numbers
The Masked Singer is the dumbest thing ive ever cared about lol. But I can't help but love the show.
I'm not watching it on broadcast but I've been watching the performances on YT. Most of the singers are really good and do a nice job on the covers. Don't really care about the "masked" part, as it's obvious who everyone is at this point, though the costumes are cool.
Last year or possibly the year before someone posted gifs in here from a show, I want to say it was Seal Team maybe? It was something kind of military related. But there was a scene in a stairwell where someone slid and the gifs showed that the on demand version still had visible stunt mats that were edited out in the aired version.
Does anyone have access to those gifs or would anyone be able to direct me to the post? I've been trying to explain it to a friend and the gifs would be super helpful.

It's awesome to see really talented singers, some of them literally legends, doing covers of popular songs and not only nailing them, but often making them better than the original.
Yeah hearing these singers cover modern songs is awesome, Peacock and Bee especially.
huh, I half-expected Showtime to pull the plug on this after the departure of the first director and the rumors of massive budget overruns
they still might
I just don't understand how and why this show is still happening. it's gotta be massively expensive, it doesn't seem to fit the Showtime brand particularly well, and the franchise it's adapting peaked in cultural relevance a good decade or so ago.
With Homeland and The Affair ending this year, and Shameless and Ray Donovan getting long in the tooth, Showtime needs a new hit (besides Billions). I think they're right in pursuing sci-fi for potentially being the genre to facilitate the Next Big Thing (tm) but I doubt Halo is that property (Kyle Killen is really talented though so I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being good). Execs aren't always the most up to speed on what's culturally relevant though, so if it wasn't Halo it'd probably be like Half Life or Crysis or something lol.
I'll be surprised if they're not the final 2. I'm thinking Bee will win.
Absolutely. This makes no sense for Showtime at all. They are going to struggle to attract female viewers to this and if, as rumoured, they've been cutting corners all over the place are they really going to do any better than those poorly received live actions shorts/films from five/ten years ago?
I wonder whether this was indeed a case of Showtime having the HALO rights and refusing to let them lapse when someone else post Ready Player One film release (as had also been rumoured) came along and pressed ahead with the series regardless?
Kyle Killen and Showtime? Can a premium cable channel cancel a show after it airs two episodes?

You need to air the first, and only, season before you kill a Kyle Killen show. It's the
They don't have any worse of a track record than any other outlet, probably better than most. Besides, with a traditional deal it would need to get to season 5 or so before the production company made any money while a Netflix deal guarantees a decent profit from day one.
I love me some cheapo Canadian genre TV so I'll definitely check this out some time. Matt Frewer and Katherine Isabelle are great at this sort of thing and Max Martini has a great Clancy Brown type voice for it as well.
I just cant believe the simpsons got renewed for two more seasons.
Maybe 32 will finally be the end.

I'm in for any Murphy show. The true god of peak TV.
I'm excited for the Dormer casting for Penny Dreadful as well.
Really? Good to hear. I'd been worried it hadn't started filming.
Such a great show.
I looked it up the other night, after noticing I'd missed some of Man With a Plan's new season.
Good to see Simone Missick join the cast. Probably won't be out until 2020 with them just starting production.

Can this somehow be twisted into a bait thread about the return of Firefly on Netflix?
my gf loves splitting up togetherTuesday night's ratings:
is it getting canned? or does abc have nothing else so it might just shuffle along?
