 for the coming week. With all the sequel series and reboots on TV and streaming services in recent years (see NBC’s “Quantum Leap,” premiering at 10 p.m. Monday), it’s unsurprising that some TV writer/producer would want to critique
When the “Roseanne” reboot abruptly ended (and returned as “The Conners”), writer/producer Steve Levitan was curious about life on the set – the show you didn’t see.
Netflix has cancelled four comedy series right before the big July 4 holiday weekend in the United States.
The streamer has axed ‘The Crew’, ‘Country Comfort’, ‘Mr. Iglesias’ and ‘Bonding’. While Kevin James’ ‘The Crew’ and Katherine McPhee’s ‘Country Comfort’ only had one season to shine bright, ‘Bonding’ is ending after two seasons and ‘Mr. Iglesias’ has had three parts so far.
According to Deadline, Netflix has already signed a development deal with ‘The King of Queens’ star James “to develop a single-camera comedy series” which has him attached as producer and star. Boyle, creator of the two-season ‘Bonding’, “has closed a development deal” with him for new shows; and Gabriel Iglesias is scheduled to shoot a third stand-up comedy special for the streamer later this summer.
