Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
I find it’s a tiny bit of a good sign that it says “New season” not “Final Season” but I won’t put my hopes up too high. Looks like this season will be a ton of fun, though! Look forward to it!
Perhaps they plan to shop it elsewhere…
SO excited and thrilled Serpent Queen has been renewed! I went in not expecting to like it much, and only there on the merits of Samantha Morton, but I ended up really enjoying the show!
I am going to see if there is a Starz trial to check out Serpent Queen. I think I missed the 3rd season of Miracle Workers as was surprised to hear there was a 4th. I may try to catch up on that as well.
I am still surprised CBS passed on Lincoln Lawyer, it sounded so up CBS’ alley.
The Calling sounds interesting.
While I agree that Lincoln Lawyer is a broadcast series airing on streaming, CBS might have gotten cold feet that the show was not a procedural. Look at the trailer for the TV version of True Lies, CBS this midseason. Based on the trailer, the pilot episode is essentially doing the movie, or at least the big hook of the film, in a 43 minute pilot instead of letting that hook out over 6-7 episodes, presumably because CBS wanted more of a procedural.
Fully expecting this to be the final season of Miracle Workers. It’s a shame, considering how funny the show is.
Both male leads are the EP of the show. With their star power, they probably will come up with a solution to continue the show somewhere else such as Roku. Daniel has the connection there. I really hope that they can do a parody of Star Trek or Star Wars for season 5.
