Nat Geo is delving into the world of competitive Bollywood dance in its latest series. The Disney-owned broadcaster has ordered Legends (w/t), which comes from Indian Matchmaking creator Smriti Mundhra and 100 Foot Wave producer Joe Lewis. The six-part series follows on two key squads of…

TNT is doing some housecleaning today. Along with officially renewing The Librarians, Murder in the First and Major Crimes, the network also has cancelled Legends, Public Morals and Agent X.

TNT said this morning that it has postponed airing tonight’s scheduled episode of its spy thriller Legends in deference to the victims of last week’s horrific terrorists attacks in the French capital. “As a result of the recent tragic events in Paris, tonight’s originally scheduled episode of Legends has been…

If next week is any barometer, TNT is about to become Spy TV — for better and for worse. For better, as my video review above says, is the almost totally revamped Legends.

TNT has given a 10-episode second-season pickup to freshman drama series Legends. It means the new TNT dramas that debuted this past summer — The Last Ship, Murder In the First and Legends — all have been renewed for Season 2. The Howard Gordon-produced Legends had the smallest Live+Same Day premiere audience of the…

In fact, you could say the much killed actor found new life with the debut of the Howard Gordon produced spy thriller series at 9 PM. Certainly Legends found a lot of viewers with 2.6 million tuning in to watch the first broadcast…
