2020-21 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Everything's Not Gonna Be Okay for Punky, Betty, Dickinson, or Sarah
- Thread starter mreddie
- Start date
- Entertainment OT
There's been no news on Wu Assassins and I assumed that would've gone way before some of these.
How's that? GLOW's last season was over a year ago and the new one would've needed more filming. As far as most of Cobra Kai's audience is concerned the show only just released (despite YouTube). And season 3 is ready to go. It's a lot more present in audience's minds.
Considering they paid out the cast I don't think this is a conflict thing. It's just a case of not being able to film at all til COVID is gone and that could be a LONG time. GLOW is also shot in LA, while Cobra Kai despite being set in LA is filmed in mostly Atlanta (with a little bit in LA and Okinawa).
Also, if GLOW was cancelled, Dear White People probably isn't long for this world either since it's in a very similar situation (films in LA, large cast, will have been off the air for like 2 years, etc).
Hearing the GLOW news at work definitely left me disappointed. Easily one of my favorite Netflix originals, with Season 1 in particular being one of my fastest binge watches on Netflix. I never regret watching shows that end without resolution, but this is really disappointing to know we would have got one if it wasn't for Covid :(
I think Netflix just doesn't mention certain shows when it comes to not picking them up. Especially if the show isn't high profile. They did the same thing with Seis Manos (which I enjoyed), but I can't imagine it or Wu Assassins coming back considering how long it's been since they first aired with nothing concrete said.
Monday night's ratings. Football obviously dominated the night, while NBC's Town Hall with Joe Biden drew about the same numbers as Donald Trump's Town Hall that aired on ABC last month (0.6, 3.967 million viewers):
They won't cancel Umbrella Academy. That's easily one of their biggest hits. It'd be worse than cancelling The Witcher.
That's not even funny.
Just finished the second season and love the show. They better not cancel it.
By every metric I've seen The Witcher is more popular than Umbrella Academy.
That being said weird that Umbrella Academy hasn't been renewed yet as it seemed to be bigger than the first season. The second season renewal happened about 6 weeks after the first season ended so far it's been over 2 months since the second season ended (although maybe they are just waiting to COVID to subside a bit before announcing a renewal as Canada still seems like a difficult place to film)
Suzie Crabgrass getting the better over Moze is something I did not expect TBH.
I think it goes back to being a worldwide vs a US-only success. The Witcher is clearly the bigger international hit, but Umbrella Academy doesn't seem that far behind. It's definitely stronger than GLOW, Ozark and The OA in that regrad.
I agree that Umbrella Academy is one of Netflix biggest scripted shows but it just not on that top level of The Witcher, Stranger Things and Money Heist. For sure much bigger than Glow and The OA though.
Walking Dead World Beyond premiered to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.5 A18-49
Soulmates premiered to 245K viewers and a 0.06 A18-49
This is precisely why AMC keeps doubling down on TWD shows

Definitely. I'd say Stranger Things, Money Heist, Dark and The Witcher are their biggest international crossover hits. Umbrella Academy is *almost* there but TBH I felt like the lukewarm reception of season 1 didn't do any favors.

In fairness, I'm sure the TWD Jrs received much more promotion/commercials than Soulmates did. Plus it has the benefit of having a brand behind it, even if that brand is nowhere near what it once was.
Point taken though.
I mean the concept of Soulmates has been so often played out at this point the show doesn't really appeal to me, and I reckon a bunch of people. Here's that Black Mirror episode you liked, but six times over. Meh?
Besides, the whole concept always has me wondering. If such a test existed, it either works and everyone finds their actual soulmate, or it doesn't work and it dies a painful death because, you know, word gets around. Kinda like Quibi.

Just finished Emily in Paris today. It was fun. Hard to recommend unless you like these type of shows/genre, but if you do its fun. Easy, lightweight, bingeable.
You know, I wrote this off because it's a Disney+ series that isn't Marvel or Star Wars, but now I just may check it out. Nice to know they let at least one thing get on there that wasn't neutered, although I am skeptical it is a trend or indicator of a larger policy shift.🤔

Other reviews aren't as glowing, but I thought the quoted bits were pretty interesting re: Disney+'s larger strategy
Something on Disney+ that's worthwhile? Woah.🤔

What's up with the increased focus on America's space program recently? This is like the fourth show this past year (counting the Netflix doc on The Challenger) focussing on this.
I was already interested in it but seeing that someone from here worked on it made me want to watch it more.
From the D+ thread:
