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
Kinda ? Not sure about "major", but there's at least a rather important character that get killed out of the blue. And there's the season finale left, so a major death is still possible.
Yeah, we even had a thread about it earlier today that was also cancelled (locked) due to the OP misinterpreting the word. It's kind of funny how much people can change meanings of certain words.
‘Shadow and Bone’ Is a Major Hit for Netflix, but It Almost Didn’t Happen
To bring Leigh Bardugo's best-selling novels to Netflix, EP Eric Heisserer adapted two very different books in the same creative universe.

OP
OP
Maybe he meant bombing or marketing?
TV he has a point but adding films likely made this a mess.
Disappointed the Prodigal Son is getting the axe. It had its issues, but it Michael Sheen was a lot of fun.
I mean, they can definitely get canned/live in development hell/get hacked to pieces by studios. So I get that as his point.
of course they can.
bunch of "franchises" died in their infancy.
or he meant the thing people didn't want him to mean!
that's a very generous interpretation imo
what is the other interpretation then?
he was actually complaining about cancel culture?
Yeah no surprise at Prodigal Son getting chopped off like a certain hand
It was fun at times but overall messy and just a much worse hannibal

maybe. he does say "people are afraid of getting cancelled" not "people are afraid of their projects getting cancelled" or something. if he wanted to communicate the latter, there are like 100 better ways to do that
Come up with enough stuff that isn't getting viewers, you are probably getting 'cancelled' as a showrunner though.
I mean, he didn't even know how to make Twitter threads, so lack of clear communication is obvious here.
But Glover seems to be talking from his own experience, especially with Atlanta, a show he had to hide from FX what it was actually about just to get greenlit.
That ain't "cancel culture's" fault, though. Bold/different/controversial content has always faced backlash & not had the easiest time getting funded. Now there's just a bit of a check on at least the worst of bigotry & shitstains of humanity being able to behave horribly towards other people.
I think "indefinitely shelfed" but yeah. Probably for the best, too.

Do the networks look more at ratings demos or number of people watching in households? I had thought Prodigal Son was doing alright, pulling in average for ratings, but I know the number of people is low (2.5m or below). And of course it unfortunately got cancelled.
I've been feeling pretty confident about Resident as the ratings have been somewhat decent, but then looking at the numbers (less than 3m) makes me concerned if networks look at that more.

Demo mostly. And in that regard, Prodigal Son was one of the lowest performing ones on FOX. 10th out of 16 shows.
Considering FOX sold its studios to Disney it doesn't matter as much either anymore, but Prodigal Son is bought from Warner so it would be considered out-house. They have limited alternative revenue streams outside of airing the show.
I know. It's clear he's talking about TV execs being too conservative with content and creators limiting their experimentation because they fear cancellation from the networks if they don't quickly establish an audience.
Wow were the problems that unresolvable

We are VERY late to Community. I thought I had a Dan Harmon aversion, given that I've seen one episode of Rick & Morty, and know he had a public issue with a Community writier. Anyway, the show is GREAT.
Gillian Jacobs is a goddess.

I think this has been public knowledge since this season even started.

This Was Us.
For some reason I thought this was announced when the renewal happened for seasons 4-6.
Edit: okay apparently it was likely to end with S6 whereas now it's confirmed to. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/is-us-renewed-final-three-seasons-1198670/

I always laugh with "NO JON, IT WAS POWER THAT KILLED MY MOTHER". This meme is great.Hey they wrote this:

Yes but the pointy meme is more in line with the writing that actually took place.
