Before 2018 ends.
Not even a Diplo show can save themBefore 2018 ends.
They have no other breakout show other than D&M, despite a glut of intriguing shows. The love for Bronson's shows also seems to have disappeared.
France has some very weird protectionist laws about VOD that may indeed have help cause this, but;
Netflix has given a 10-episode order to Wu Assassins, martial arts sci-fi crime drama series starring Iko Uwais (The Raid, Star Wars: The Force Awakens). It hails from Tony Krantz of Flame Ventures (24), John Wirth (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Falling Skies) and Nomadic Pictures (Fargo, Hell on Wheels).
Byron Mann (The Expanse) co-stars in the series, slated for an August 8 production start. Steven Fung will direct the first two episodes, with Krantz expected to helm another. In addition to playing the lead, Uwais also will serve as producer, lead martial arts and fight choreographer and stunt coordinator.
Written by Wirth, who also serves as showrunner, Wu Assassins, set in San Francisco's Chinatown, is a martial arts crime series with supernatural elements. It stars Uwais as Kai Jin, who becomes the latest and last Wu Assassin, chosen to round up the powers of an ancient triad and restore balance once again. Mann plays Uncle Six.
My first thought is Western Garo, and my second thought is please let it be western Garo
I like Peele, but he takes me out of dramatic things because I associate him with comedy and don't think he's as good of a dramatic actor. He feels out of place here.
In my heart there sure is one.
I mean a lot of it is on Vivendi/Bolloré, but weird quirks like not being able to stream the shows they made for their cable network can't have helped.Maybe but nah... The demise of Canal Plus and CanalPlay is simply called Vivendi.
Bolloré quiclky destroyed everything that was good about the channels as soon as he acquired them. So they lost a shit ton of subscribers, and now, since i guess they are on a much tighter budget than before, they had no choice to cancel Canal Play who indeed had no competing chance against Netflix and Amazon.
Neat.
Fuck yes. Now there is only one jingoistic bullshit show on air, one too many but I'll take it.
He had a series on USA (Playing House), a series on Netflix (Friends from College), and showed up in a ton of movies. At one point I thought the same thing you thought, but about Jordan.
For instance, my wife and I watch The Office a lot still when we are out of our new shows.
That is surprising. One would assume that it's an expensive show to produce, as well.She also mentions that Knightfall is "gearing up for a second season" which would be surprising considering that it didn't do too well in the ratings.
Patriot's first season was last year and the second has yet to release...Curious why it'd be missing if Patriot is as good as everyone is saying....

I'm just glad it was canceled before Walton Goggins managed to pull me in. He's free now though....Fuck yes. Now there is only one jingoistic bullshit show on air, one too many but I'll take it.
Yes, and there isn't much point in arguing any qualities you might see in it to me, I have strong opinions on that entire sub-genre of shows. Which may come across since I refer to that sub-genre as "jingoistic bullshit".
If (and let's stress that it is an if) the THR rumours are true, I can't say I'm overly shocked:
Sources also say news of the cancellation was considered a relief for many members of the production. Star Thorne and showrunner King are said to have clashed on multiple occasions, with the actress exhibiting what sources described as "diva-like behavior" on set. Sources note Thorne actively wanted off of Famous in Love, with the actress and social media star having refused to participate in Freeform-organized live-tweets during its second season.

Yeah that first half was pretty bad but when it came back I was like wait a minute, they are pulling an office here now? Looked it up and the guy who played Toby was the new showrunner. It was getting really good, too bad they didn't start out with that formula.Shame that Ghosted is getting canceled. Show never really had a chance to get a good footing.
First half of the season was an OK comedy X-Files/Fringe, but since it came back it basically became The Office/Parks and Rec but for a secret government office. It's been funny the last few episodes, but disappointing that they took out nearly all of the sci-fi stuff (replacing it with a spying plot).
Definitely made me miss having a show like Parks and Rec on the air. It's a pretty simple formula (get a group of funny characters together in a work space), and these last few episodes were really nailing the feeling, but knowing that none of it will go anywhere is definitely a bummer.
Mweh, the few times I've seen her act, I have to press X to Doubt on this one.
pretty much this. Greg pikitis and the first appearance of that son of a bitch Macklin had me rollin and was in love ever sinceI didn't make up my mind on Parks until The Stakeout in S2. That's when it took off for me. I watched it live though.
Wasn't there another one or two martial arts tv shows in the works? Wonder if they are still happening.

Yeah.... nah.The only reason for these types of shows is to catch those types of people.

I enjoy the heightened masculinity. It's weird, because I don't think I'm watching it ironically, but I guess an outsider would say I am.Same. The only reason for these types of shows is to catch those types of people.
Scott Derrickson, who helmed Josh Friedman's initial pilot, says new showrunner Graeme Manson's vision is "radically different."
Four months after tapping a new showrunner for the drama based on the feature film of the same name, pilot director Scott Derrickson is declining to return for reshoots as part of the show's new vision.
"The 72-page Snowpiercer TV pilot script by @Josh_Friedman is the best I've ever read. The feature-length pilot I made from that script may be my best work. The new showrunner has a radically different vision for the show. I am forgoing my option to direct the extreme reshoots," he tweeted Friday afternoon. Derrickson's directing credits include Doctor Strange and The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Friedman took to Twitter to explain his ouster from the series he developed. "I didn't 'exit' over creative differences. TNT insisted that I be removed from showrunning duties because they didn't think I'd be compliant. Hopefully they found someone to their liking," he wrote in February.
Orphan Black co-creator Graeme Manson was tapped in February to take over as showrunner on the drama.
In May, Friedman blasted his successor's etiquette when Manson failed to get in touch with him before taking over. "If you're asked to rewrite someone or take over their show it seems like good sense and good karma to reach out to that person first and a) find out what the circumstances of their departure are and b) thank them for doing the work you'll be profiting from," he wrote. "You should buy that person a nice meal or a bottle of alcohol if they're up for it. Your money was earmarked for them at one time. And more than likely, what may be a good job for you was a passion project for them," he added. "Put another way: if you were to take over a show I'd originated and worked on for two years and didn't reach out to me before taking the job you're either an idiot, a coward, or a vichy motherfucker."

Wong Kar-Wai is directing it so it'll be gorgeous looking but it'll also debut in 2025.Tong Wars at Amazon received a series order but I have no idea where it's at right now.
Vicky Sun: Vicky, a woman in her 70s who runs a global criminal network. She began her life in the US as a slave girl growing up in a brothel, and rose to become the richest woman in 1970s San Francisco. "Imperious, volatile, cunning, stylish, educated, with a cutting sense of humor, altogether fabulous," the casting call says of Vicky.
Tom Sun: Tom is the adoptive gangster father of Vicky. A revolutionary fugitive from southern China, Tom flees to the US and becomes a killer for hire during the street wars between Chinese gangs. He has two wives living with him in the brothel, and eventually falls in love with a wealthy, married white woman. It looks like Tong Wars might feature a spot of martial arts—at any rate, it's listed as a plus point for the actor trying out for this role.
Lo Mo: Mo appears to be one of Tom's wives, and runs the brothel. A shrewd and dominant figure, she directs and molds Tom with her knowledge of her society and its players. She has developed a fondness for opium to deaden her rage.
Johnny Young: An orphaned teenager, Young is raised on the streets by his fellow members of a Chinese gang that seems slated to go to war with Vicky's criminal empire. "Violence, after all, is how Vicky understands love. Johnny reminds her of Tom and herself."
hold on that weird show with the quiet guy on Adult Swim is actually good?
Derrickson publicly speaking out against this is interesting. Clearly trying to apply public pressure. Feels like this show may not even happen, but we'll see... I mean if they're willing to throw out a completely shot feature-length pilot...
I have been eagerly awaiting it. Hopefully it gains some viewers and buzz.Which is super weird. They were doing ADR work in post-production five months back, Amazon must be holding it for the fall.
I have to give him props for standing by Friedman, especially at this stage when there's virtually no chance they'd reverse course after a few months of redevelopment. I'd love to know how much this is screwing around with the actors and their commitments. The pilot originally shot last September, the series was picked up in January, and now this stuff?Derrickson publicly speaking out against this is interesting.
