2020-21 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Everything's Not Gonna Be Okay for Punky, Betty, Dickinson, or Sarah

Interesting cast. I'm always up for a mystery, so I might give this a go.
I feel free after dropping all the NCIS shows, but it'd be something of they lost two shows relatively quickly. I assume LA was their worst performing one as well.
NCIS Shocker: Mark Harmon Eyes Very Limited Presence in Season 19
In the wake of Gibbs' 'death' in NCIS' Season 18 finale, sources confirm that Mark Harmon is eying a low profile in Season 19tvline.com
I think the funnier thing is that the stepson of the creator will eventually become the longest running cast member on NCIS. Sean Murray is credited in 399 episodes, compared to David McCallum's 414 but he has 50 credit only, so Mark Harmon at the same 414 is the only one with more appearances than Murray.
It's a mystery box show that did nothing to unravel said mystery across 3 seasons. Anything that would work as a series finale would require the writers to know what's inside the box and spill the beans.

#blackAF Not Returning for Season 2; Netflix Eyes Standalone Film Franchise
#blackAF Season 2 renewal has been reversed: Kenya Barris comedy is cancelled, being redeveloped as potential film franchise — get details.

Funny thing happened during the first broadcast of Superman and Lois last night in Canada, they aired the episode with unfinished VFX shots near the end of the episode. I linked both versions in this post.

They should know that from the start, reveal the mystery at the end of season 1 and go from there if they get renewed, it's not rocket science. The importance of a mystery is overrated anyway, if writers create compelling characters and interesting dynamics between them they can milk those for years and of course revealing the mystery means you can deal with the fallout in season 2.
Dangling a mystery in front of the audience for years just means the writers are creatively bankrupt, it's a cheap trick to get people to keep watching.
After the cancellation the showrunner said in interviews the audience deserves answers as if he didn't have dozens of episodes to give the audience answers and chose not to. And we all know that if NBC had renewed the show there wouldn't have been answers in season 4 either, it's all bullshit.

Seems like he has a lot of ambitious plans going forward and even more creative control than he got at Netflix. #blackAF being reworked as films isn't a bad idea, because it's not like that show was heavy on plot or they couldn't touch on some of the themes in a smaller runtime.
I know this contains more than just TV, but a lot to look forward to next month for Netflix

Never Have I Ever S2

maybe the Resident Evil series, but not too hot on the animation
On the movie side

The trailer isn't really grabbing me, but curious to see how reviews shake up.
The White Lotus
The White Lotus
Really? Surprised because they dumped LA to the off night... but maybe they were trying to save New Orleans with the NCIS lead in.
Oh it's Mike White? I didn't realize that when it was announced. Yeah, this is bound to be fantastic even though the trailer isn't the greatest. The cast alone is kind of blowing my mind.
Alexandra Daddario and Lotuses? That brings back bad memories.

What I wouldn't give to see behind-the-scenes of this past season. It was more than a bit of a disaster but I give Bokenkamp credit for sticking to his guns against what I assume was massive studio pressure to not have the story go where it did.The Blacklist Creator Jon Bokenkamp Exiting Ahead of Season 9: ‘I Genuinely Believe the Series Remains Full of Life’

The subreddit for this show has been a clusterfuck of denial, anger, stupidity, and bigotry as a result, and not wavering in the face of all that is commendable.

I still haven't finished season 8, but from everything I hear about it, it finishes up Liz's story and Red's backstory. It would have to with Megan Boone leaving.
It really sounds like the show should have just ended this season, especially with the creator leaving now. James Spader is the glue that makes Blacklist, but makes me really wonder what they are going to do for season 9 since it seems like the overarching storyline from season 1 has been resolved.
And why would Red still stick around with Liz gone?

It really feels like it was messier behind the scenes than anyone is willing to say.
Megan Boone was absent from like a third of the season and then it leaks before the finale that she is gone for good. And then in the finale they outright kill her.
The creator has talked in the past about how he needed to get NBC's permission to end the show the way he wants to.
The finale airs and it confirms that Red is really Katarina but does it vaguely enough and without vocalizing it so that it will ruffle the fewest feathers amongst the audience.
Creator bounces the very next day and now the show basically has to reboot itself.
To me that all screams that there was a lot going on behind-the-scenes, with NBC almost certainly cagey about the Katarina reveal, leading to the awkward mess of the season and the vague enough resolution that the show can ignore in the future. Whatever form the show takes in the future I would bet money that the name Katarina Rostova and everything that goes with it, will be used far, far less.

Only Jensen Ackles produces and stars (as narrator) in this, after 15 years together Jared should have a role in this, even meaningless job like executive producer or something.
