BBC One and Netflix team up to co-produce Dracula from Sherlock producers Hartswood Films
They finally made it official.
I'm in. Yes, I know the last season of Sherlock wasn't all that. But Mark Gatiss has done some really nice things in the horror space, and I did like Moffat's take on the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
But will it live up to the underrated NBC series from a few years ago?

THANK RAO!Sunday nights' ratings are here. The CW had a pretty good night. ABC's The Alec Baldwin Show did not do well:
Friday night's ratings. Things seem to have pretty much stabilized. ABC's shows don't look like they'll be moving from their premiere ratings last week. Meanwhile, on The CW, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's ratings are...crazy!
0.5I know it's CW, but 0.4 is high? I mean, it's Halloween time - that could be part of it.
For how hard ABC has been pushing TGIF, this paints more of a TGI-FLOP to me.
...I'll let myself out.
0.5
Tied for 2nd in the demo for all CW shows behind only The Flash so far this season with only Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Legacies still to debut.
TGIF can't be like in the 90s anymore. Was watching The Nineties documentary on Netflix, and they mentioned how Fridays were so big for ABC, that people would just stay home to watch it. Times have changed a lot since then, with DVRs and On Demand... I still think "Friday night death slots" are a thing for live tv.
It's the only one most advertisers care about.
Yeah, I thought the .2 predictions were being slightly ridiculous. People still remember this show.For all the smack talk you heard about the new Charm you figure it would have bombed, but looks like it was a vocal minority who doesn't like actual minorities again
Yes, the rest is meaningless in terms of success.
Or it just looks like actual garbage. I mean, we call out trash shows that are trash even with good diverse casting. If you told me it was actually as good as Black Lightning I'd be right there watching it.For all the smack talk you heard about the new Charm you figure it would have bombed, but looks like it was a vocal minority who doesn't like actual minorities again
True diversity allows for mediocrity across the board. We should have an Asian kevin james, a female Gerald Bulter, and a LGBTQ Jennifer ANstion, all equally successfulOr it just looks like actual garbage.

You're right. Why is true mediocrity reserved for shows like The Outpost?True diversity allows for mediocrity across the board. We should have an Asian kevin james, a female Gerald Bulter, and a LGBTQ Jennifer ANstion, all equally successful
Still amazes me that people didn't take advantage of VCR's in the 90s. They were advanced enough to schedule times and channels. We always recorded shows to watch later.
It's funny, back then I only recorded a few favorite shows and movies that I didn't own on VHS. Prime time tv? Nah, I had to watch that immediately. I feel like it was more an event to get together with family/friends for live tv. That, and yeah a lot of people I knew couldn't be bother to learn more VHS functions that weren't "play" or "rewind".
People didn't? We had two VCRs and recorded a ton of stuff. And Saturday mornings I'd have to choose which shows to watch live and which to record since there were so many cartoons on!Still amazes me that people didn't take advantage of VCR's in the 90s.

In terms of advertisements, teens don't matter.
Remember the invention of VCR+ for the stupid people that couldn't figure out how to program a VCR to record a program at a certain time? Idiots.It's funny, back then I only recorded a few favorite shows and movies that I didn't own on VHS. Prime time tv? Nah, I had to watch that immediately.

To be fair, the trailers were really fucking bad. The pilot got good reviews (haven't warched it myself) and it's from the Jane the Virgin team who are great but it did look rough before release. That and the original Charmed fan base and actors weren't happy about the show.For all the smack talk you heard about the new Charm you figure it would have bombed, but looks like it was a vocal minority who doesn't like actual minorities again
I just want to know how the hell Cuba got 1 of only 4 of those that existI really liked this episode of The Last Ship.
And lol at that Battleship just disappearing.
In a competitive situation, FX has landed for development Her Body and Other Parties, an anthology series based on Carmen Maria Machado's lauded short story collection. The project comes from writer Gina Welch, Imagine Television and FX Productions.
Written by Welch, Her Body is an anthological series staging psychologically vivid tales of women's fears and desires on landscapes of horror, fabulism, and wild-haired absurdity. It's described as a feminist Black Mirror with fairy tale themes, its hours threaded together with a recurring ensemble of female characters.
...
Welch was a writer-co-producer on FX's Feud: Bette and Joan, writer-co-producer on AMC's The Terror, a consulting producer on Hulu's Castle Rock and a staff writer on Ray Donovan.
Written by Amy Andelson, Emily Meyer and Smith, Trinkets centers on three teenage girls from different corners of the high school cafeteria — Elodie (Hildebrand), the grieving misfit; Moe (Madeira), the mysterious outsider; and Tabitha (Swindell) the imperfect picture of perfection — who find themselves in the same mandated Shoplifters Anonymous meeting, and an unlikely friendship forms. They will find strength in each other as they negotiate family issues, high school drama and the complicated dilemma of trying to fit in while longing to break out.
Jericho and Sherlock writer Steve Thompson is adapting the series into three feature-length episodes with Robert Dornhelm (Anne Frank: The Whole Story) and Umut Dag (Cracks in Concrete) directing.
Bear plays central character Max Liebermann, the protégé of Sigmund Freud, and set in 1900s Vienna. When Liebermann comes into contact with Oskar Rheinhardt, played by Tatort's Juergen Maurer, a detective struggling with a strange murder case, he is called to help him solve the investigation.
In line with what it was getting at the tail end of last season and the premiere kicked ass, so it needs no pity.
Grimm, is eying a comeback. NBC is developing a spinoff from the supernatural series, which bowed out last year after six seasons. Like the original, the offshoot hails from Universal TV and Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner's studio-based Hazy Mills Prods.
Written by Melissa Glenn (Marvel's Iron Fist), I hear the untitled spinoff will center on a female Grimm. Per NBC, building off the mythology of the original series, the new show will feature returning fan favorites while also introducing new characters, new dangers and epic new mysteries. I hear no actors are currently attached but the idea is for offshoot to feature some original cast members, regular or recurring.
NBC does what CW can't (Wayward Sisters).
I took a quick look around for recent L+3/L+7 TWD numbers, but didn't find too much info. I'm curious how much of the decline is due to viewers checking out and how much is due to timeshifting.The Walking Dead was all about looking to the future on Sunday but when it comes to the ratings, the future is looking increasingly bleak for the AMC zombie apocalypse series.
With a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49, the second episode of the ninth season of the show based on Robert Kirkman's comics took the small screen's once top rated show off a cliff to an all-time series low. "The Bridge" episode comes off last week's highly promoted season opener, which was the lowest debut for the series and the second least watched premiere.
The October 14 TWD snagged an audience of 5 million, which was a drop of 19% from the October 7 season opener of the reset series. Among the 18-49, TWD fell 21% from the Season 9 debut.
On a show now available early on the no-ad AMC Premiere service and increasingly leaning towards delayed viewing, those drops are actually a tiny bit less than the comparative declines in Season 8. Also, TWD was facing the bite of a much watched Boston Red Sox's win over the Houston Astros in the ALCS on October 14 and Tom Brady making some NFL history on a rising Sunday Night Football.
However, and even with the overall same day decline on both broadcast and cable that doesn't take away from the fact that TWD is performing worst now in the demo and with viewers than even its first few episodes of the abbreviated Season 1 back in 2019 did. It also cannot avoid the reality that in the key demo "The Bridge" cratered 50% from what "The Damned" second episode of a declining Season 8 drew on October 29 last year.
AMC, of course, like to save their powder for the Live +3 numbers that are expected later this week.
