And the Next Cancelled Show is...

The last episode of Louie aired in may 2015. Maybe he took some time off for touring or a holiday? If his series was only in stasis until now, maybe becuase he was an EP on Better Things with Pamela Eldon, it's possible he has to bow out of that too, which is a similar series, dealing with middle age, but from a female perspective.

November 10, 2017

It's official: Louie is done at FX. The cable network announced today it has severed all ties with show creator Louis C.K. after the comedian admitted to past sexual misconduct towards five women between 2002 and 2005.

The move predominantly affects the overall deal FX had with C.K.'s production company, "Pig Newton", which today had its involvement removed from the four shows it currently produces with the network. The other casualty, though, is Louie, the acclaimed comedy that helped make C.K. more of a household name.

Created, written, directed, produced, and edited by Louis C.K., Louie followed a fictionalized version of the stand-up comedian and his everyday ordeals around life in New York City. Each episode included a scripted story and a mix of C.K.'s original stand-up material.

The show had been on an extended hiatus since August 2015, when FX announced that it would eventually continue once C.K. was ready to resume work on the series.

The full statement from FX Networks:

Today, FX Networks and FX Productions are ending our association with Louis C.K. We are cancelling the overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton. He will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows we were producing with him - Better Things, Baskets, One Mississippi and The Cops.


Louis has now confirmed the truth of the reports relating to the five women victimized by his misconduct, which we were unaware of previously. As far as we know, his behavior over the past eight years on all five series he has produced for FX Networks and/or FX Productions has been professional. However, now is not the time for him to make television shows. Now is the time for him to honestly address the women who have come forth to speak about their painful experiences, a process which he began today with his public statement.


FX Networks and FX Productions remain committed to doing everything we can to ensure that all people work in an environment that is safe, respectful and fair, and we will continue our review of all of these productions to ensure that was and is the case.

Damn, so it's finally happening. *knocks on wood*

Shame Powers Boothe didn't live long enough to take part. :(

Ive never watched it, but it sucks when things get moving after a death. However that's how TV and hell real life is like. Gilmore Girls didn't get it's (awful) continuation until after the amazing Edward Herrmann died because that got everyone motivated to get it made.
 
Damn, you haven't watched Deadwood yet? You really need to rectify that. Granted I didn't finally watch it (aside from one episode) until years after it ended, but you still need to watch it.
 
Fantastic news, so glad it's finally being made. I was thinking about this movie only a couple of days ago in that I hadn't heard any updates on its production in a while. Read my mind and answered my prayers all in one. :)

I'm way behind of shows. Also I hate westerns. But maybe if they finally make the continuation / conclusion movie I'll finally watch it.
 
Except it's not a Lord of the Rings show, it's a Middle-earth show set some unknown time prior to The Fellowship of the Ring.

Yeah, not really Ian McShane's strong suit. :guffaw:
To say he's had a "colorful past" would be like saying Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris "drank a little." To be fair, however, as far as I know, his bad boy reputation is firmly in his past.

Well let's hope he always had consent.
 
It seems like just about the whole cast and crew of One Tree Hill has come out against showrunner Mark Schwahn. His current show is "The Royals" on E! E! says they are "monitoring the information carefully."
