And the Next Cancelled Show is...

I'd love to see Sense8 get the rescue treatment, but considering the costs and the global coverage and the way world is right now, I realize it's highly unlikely.
I hope Giomatti is successful in shopping that one to another carrier. I suspect most things are on hold, however, until the COVID-19 shit clears up.
I read somewhere that Netflix doesn't care about steady viewers, only new ones, and that's why shows don't last very long. Maybe I read it from one of you.
I've actually pointed out some time ago that, considering that Netflix hasn't done a lot of original programming pre-2015, the number of shows of theirs that made it beyond a third season is actually impressive.
Some examples:
- Grace & Frankie, 7 seasons
- Orange is the New Black, 7 seasons
- Bojack Horseman, 6 seasons
- House of Cards, 6 seasons
- Fuller House, 5 seasons
- The Adventures of Puss in Boots, 6 seasons
- All Hail King julien, 5 seasons
- DreamWorks Dragons, 8 seasons
- Voltron: Legendary Defender, 8 seasons
- Castlevenia, 3 seasons, renewed for fourth.

Yeah, at least half of those are also cartoons, which imho is probably easier to producer en-masse vs a live-action series requiring all cast members to be present, and most of them are self-contained episodes. Take those out of the equation and they don't have much at all.
Of the four shows that are live-action, two have ended (OITNB and House of Cards), one will drop its final episodes in around a week (Fuller House), and Grace and Frankie's seventh season will be its last (I assume filming has been held up by the pandemic, especially for a show where half the main cast are ~80 years old IRL).
And Bojack Horseman was canceled without warning, so only 4 shows came to a natural conclusion of several seasons.
Porn Tried to save Sense8, but they just didn't have enough grunt.

Ouch. Four is pretty dismal. The problem is that they throw so much out there to see what sticks, and then what sticks isn't even promised to last. Those 4 seem to be the exception.
Not actual news about a cancellation or renewal, but I thought this was an interesting read.
Washington Post columnist Alyssa Rosenberg writes that it's not enough for the Hollywood studios to issue statements and social media posts condemning police brutality and supporting the Black community; if they really wanted to start making a difference, they'd cancel all the cop shows and movies.
Shut down all police movies and TV shows. Now.

So do they have actual shows? They sure had a lot of commercials
I’ve heard the ViacomCBS top brass have mandated all police and military series are retooled or cancelled.
Same source I get my Star Trek and now Clarice info from. Clarice is undergoing rewrites and a recasting this weekend.
and........NOPE. You and your "source" are incorrect.
TV Guide says otherwise.
Let's check CBS renewals, shall we?
Blue Bloods--renewed.
FBI--renewed.
FBI: Most Wanted--renewed.
NCIS--renewed.
NCIS: Los Angeles---renewed.
NCIS: New Orleans--renewed.
S.W.A.T.--renewed.
SEAL Team--renewed.
Tommy--canceled. Back on May 6th.
Cop shows are CBS' bread-and-butter. They aren't canceling shows that people are watching. So wherever you're getting your information from is not accurate. Will they retool them in some way to address what's actually happening in America today? I don't know--I kinda hope they do SOMETHING--would be fairly tone-deaf not to. But all that will happen is one or two episodes of corny "soul-searching" and then they will go right back to their formulaic episodes because that's what makes CBS money. LOTS and LOTS of money.
Same “source” that claimed the new Pike series was to be called “Enterprise”, no doubt.
