And the Next Cancelled Show is...

Do you know how many people got Disney+ only for Mandalorian?

I wonder why they are moving Evil to streaming only, maybe they did analytics and think it had the same audience as Good Fight?

Or they just think that anything critics or niches like is more profitable on streaming.

I'm guessing as acclaimed as Evil is, it doesn't get CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds numbers. It's not safe enough to be on CBS.
 
There needs to be a show called The Consultants, starring Richard Castle, Patrick Jane, Lucifer Morningstar, Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Eppes, Johnny Smith and Jessica Fletcher. They're so good at solving crimes they put most of the police force out of work, especially since these consultants are apparently willing to do this full-time for free.

Shawn Spencer got paid.

Mandalorian was going to have that draw because it was Star Wars with a built in fan base. I just don't think there are any of these shows moving from cable to Paramount Plus are going to pull people over.
 
Disney will do whatever they want.
I heard that Disney had to wait 3 years until they could reproduce any of the Netflix shows, and that Disney/Marvel had approached some of the Netflix actors about coming back, even if they had to redo their origin stories.

Oh.

Use a different Doctor Who as the Purple Man?

Probably true, but they'll do what they want. Including recasting and rebooting.
 
I very much hope they bring back Daredevil and Punisher. Those were really good shows. I’m sure Disney will find a way to fuck them both up, though.
 
CBS has moved NCIS after 18 years on Tuesdays. In response to Dick Wolf Chicago Wednesdays and Dick Wolf Law & Order Thursdays on NBC, CBS will now have Dick Wolf FBI Tuesdays.

Holy cow, you can watch 9 hours of brand new Dick Wolf over three straight days.
 
Evil stars Luke Cage.

So long as Paramount + is making Evil, they're cock-blocking Disney + from rebooting Cage.

Maybe I'm missing something, but surely it's pretty much the opposite?

If Colter is tied up with Evil, surely that means that any Luke Cage appearances are more likely if not guaranteed to be a (soft) reboot/recast of the character with a new actor?

I think it didn't just need to be in the Star Wars universe, it also had to have insanely good word of mouth. If Mandalorian had turned out so-so, it wouldn't have been a draw.
 
What if the Netflix actors become secondary characters in multiple movies... Although, half the cast of Daredevil should probably be in the Upcoming She-Hulk series.
It might work, but all those characters are pretty mundane by comparison to the super-humans, mutants and gods that occupy the MU at the cinematic level. They have talent in their respective fields, but they'll all likely need an equipment overhaul just to keep up with the higher-tier characters. Punisher, for example, will probably need a portable/personal thermonuclear grenade launcher. Maybe a new extension to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
 
They need Mike in order to have him as Luke Cage (which I agree would not be a bad thing as his version of the character is solid), they don't need him to have someone else play the character which is what you said that they can't do.

Do you know how cockblocking works?

They can remake Cage without Mike Colter, but they shouldn't.

They probably know this.

So they can't.

Coy and Vance Duke.

Speaking of that, on Mythic Quest, the female lead was lying on the hood of a car last night, and the male lead said "a porsche is not the general lee!" And then shocked, the female lead squeaks "You can't say that anymore!"

HEAVENS TO MURGATROYD!

Exactly my point, rebooting the character is still Disney's choice, Paramount isn't stopping them from doing that, at most they are forcing them to reboot or not use the character because Paramount is "cockblocking" use of Mike Coulter as Luke Cage.

The only party who could possibly block use of Cage entirely would be Netflix, and I believe that their option has lapsed.
