Reminds me of a recent episode of Difficult People (which everyone should be watching btw!) where they savaged Showtime for shows like Ray Donovan.

Why!?

it's bloody fantastic even though we know John Voight is the real star

Mr E

A US version of Channel 4's Misfits has officially been greenlit and will be shown on Freeform.
The people behind The O.C. and Gossip Girl are working on it.

This has been on the cards for years. I really enjoyed the first two series but I don't think the writer had enough for more than that and it lost direction. Cast changes didn't help.

Yeah, and it kinda felt at that point that maybe Robert Sheehan really had been carrying the whole thing.

He absolutely was for me anyway, Gilgun was a good replacement but the writing went downhill. Series 2 actually has a perfect ending anyway, if you ignore the Christmas special. Interested to see how the yanks adapted it tho.

we can only hope they learn from the mistakes that were made and make a cohesive series

Hadn't heard of Freeform before. Turns out it used to be ABC Family and their shows consist of things like Pretty Liile Liars and Switched at Birth. But liked The Middleman which they also showed. But it doesn't seem to be the type of channel you would see Misfits on.
I wonder if Robert Sheehan will be part of it to try and enhance his career over there.

I thought Iwan Rheon was great in Misfits.

I doubt it.

If Trevor Noah isn't working out ratings wise I would expect them just to replace him.

The Daily Show is Comedy Central's marquee show they won't give up on it to easily.

The Inbetweeners and Skins remakes both failed so not much hope for this

Mr E

On the flipside, US versions of Shameless and The Office were massive hits.

It's 50/50.

The Office and House of Cards flourished so I wouldn't discount it yet.

Anne of Green Gables

Netflix is bringing back pigtails.

The streaming giant is teaming up with Canada’s CBC on Anne, a new drama series based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables.

Moira Walley-Beckett (Breaking Bad) will serve as writer and showrunner of the eight-episode first season, which finds 13-year-old Anne being sent to live with an elderly woman and her brother in 1890. Per our sister site Deadline, Anne will integrate new adventures into the beloved story, tackling issues of “identity, sexism, bullying, prejudice, and trusting one’s self.”
Anne of Green Gables has spawned more than a dozen television and movie adaptations since its original release; Reign‘s Megan Follows starred as the titular orphan for the CBC in 1985.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Ontario this September.

Friends From College

Netflix has amassed a veritable sitcom dream team for its latest series.

The streaming giant has handed an eight-episode order to Friends From College, a half-hour comedy starring — hold onto your hats! — How I Met Your Mother‘s Cobie Smulders, Key & Peele‘s Keegan-Michael Key, The Grinder‘s Fred Savage and Ben and Kate‘s Nat Faxon. Rounding out the insane ensemble is Annie Parisse (Person of Interest, The Following) and relative newcomer Jae Suh Park (The Mindy Project)

And the show’s pedigree’s nothing to sniff at either: The project hails from Nick Stoller (The Grinder, The Carmichael Show, as well as The Neighbors film franchise), who will exec produce and write the series with Francesca Delbanco. Stoller will also direct all eight episodes.
Friends From College — which marks Smulders’ first significant TV gig since How I Met Your Mother ended two years ago — centers on a group of friends who went to Harvard together and are now facing down their forties and experiencing a range of success, or lack thereof, both professionally and domestically. With interwoven and oftentimes complicated relationships with one another, Netflix calls the series a “comedic exploration of old friendships, former romantic entanglements and balancing adult life with nostalgia for the past.”
Production will begin this fall in New York

Maniac

Netflix Lands Emma Stone, Jonah Hill & Cary Fukunaga

Maniac, the hot Paramount TV/Anonymous Content half-hour series starring Emma Stone Fukunaga and Jonah Hill and directed by Cary Fukunaga, has found a home at Netflix. I have learned that the streaming service is finalizing a deal on a straight-to-series 10-episode order for the dark comedy project based on the 2014 Norwegian series about a guy who lives a fantasy life in his dreams but in reality is locked up at an institution. Fukunaga is expected to helm all episodes.

The Ark

Noah’s Ark Gets Modern-Day Reboot from Robert Zemeckis and NBC

NBC has bought The Ark, a high-concept drama spec from 20th Century Fox TV and Robert Zemeckis’ ImageMovers. The project, a grounded, modern retelling of the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible, was written by Black List scribe Daniel Kunka (12 Rounds). It centers on an engineer who, after the death of his wife, has a vision to construct a ship capable of sustaining life in space. When the build happens to coincide with the coming end of the world, the engineer realizes there may be a larger story at play.
