List of Renewed - Cancelled - Still under debate - Shows Announced (So Far...)

THIS JUST IN: We’re getting those final four words!
Sources confirm that Netflix has closed a deal with Warner Bros. for a limited-series revival of Gilmore Girls penned by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and exec producer Daniel Palladino.
Although negotiations with the cast are only now beginning, I’m told all of the major players — most notably Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson — are expected back for the continuation. Additionally, per multiple insiders, the revival will consist of four 90-minute episodes/mini-movies.
Reps for Warner Bros. and Netflix declined to comment for this story.
And I repeat: This is not a drill.

ABC gives full season order to Dr. Ken, 22 episodes picked up

A new version of Amazing Stories is in the works

The anthology series is now in development at NBC with Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller, EW has learned exclusively.

Fuller will executive produce and write a pilot script for the project – an hourlong weekly anthology series telling fantastic, strange and supernatural stories.

The 1985 original ran for two seasons and was created and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, who we’re hearing is not involved in the reboot. The series earned 12 Emmy nominations and received five awards.

Amazing Stories will be produced by Universal Television with Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank (Under the Dome, Extant) serving as executive producers along with Fuller.

HBO is changing its course on The Brink.

The premium-cable network has opted to cancel the Jack Black and Tim Robbins comedy after one season — despite renewing it in July.

"After evaluating our schedule and our programming needs, we unfortunately decided we cannot give The Brink the attention it deserves for a second season," said HBO in a statement. "We are proud of the first season and wish everyone involved in this show the very best."

The half-hour series, which bowed in late June alongside Dwayne Johnson's Ballers, was part of HBO's efforts to broaden its comedy brand.

Brink centered on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate and desperate men: Walter Larson, U.S. secretary of state (Robbins); Alex Talbot, a lowly Foreign Service officer (Black); and Zeke Tilson, an ace Navy fighter pilot (Pablo Schreiber). These three compromised souls had to pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War III.

The Kim and Roberto Benabib-created series, which was helmed by HBO go-to Jay Roach, generated mixed reviews, with a Metacritic score of just 52. (Already-renewed Ballers nabbed a 65.) Still, the premiere telecast drew a respectable 1.6 million viewers in its 10:30 p.m. slot, down from lead-in Ballers' 2.2 million viewer haul.

News of Brink's cancellation comes months after executive producer Jerry Weintraub, who was integral to selling the spec script to HBO, passed away.

Netflix has ordered the adaptation of Jay Asher's best-selling YA novel 13 Reasons Why (stylized as TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY because teens) as a 13-episode series, reports The Wrap. Actress and Voice adviser Selena Gomez will play Hannah Baker, the teenager at the center of the plot who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes to send to various people that explain how they contributed to her death. She'll also serve as executive producer alongside her mother, Mandy Teefey, and producer Kristel Laiblin. The Tony Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright for Next to Normal Brian Yorkey has written the pilot and will also serve as an executive producer. The story will likely focus on Clay, who receives the tapes and the instructions, which would allow Gomez to keep up with her many commitments as a multihyphenate singer-actress-producer–Voice adviser.

Syfy has acquired a female take on “Van Helsing” from Nomadic Pictures, with Neil LaBute set as showrunner. The 13-episode, hourlong series reimagines the Dracula mythology with the resurrection of Vanessa Helsing, the next in line of a lineage of warriors who now must lead mankind against a world controlled by vampires.

Per Nomadic’s release, When Vanessa Helsing is resurrected five years in the future, she learns vampires have taken over the world and that she possesses unique power over them. She is humanity’s last hope to lead an offensive to take back what has been lost.

Production on the series will begin in January 2016 in Vancouver, BC, for an intended fall premiere. Dynamic Television will distribute the show internationally.

“Van Helsing represents a new mythology in sci-fi by challenging traditional vampire rules,” said Chad Oakes, co-chairman of Nomadic Pictures. “The series is unique in exploring a world completely dominated by vampires, while the human characters have to learn the importance of working together to ensure their survival. Mike and I are thrilled to team up once again with the talented Neil LaBute to deliver an amazing series.”

“Chad and I are excited to be working with Syfy and Chris Regina again to vamp up the vampire genre on this exciting new series,” added Mike Frislev, co-chairman of Nomadic Pictures.

“‘Van Helsing’ reimagines a classic story in a compelling new way, featuring a bold and complex heroine,” said Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Program Strategy, Syfy. “This high octane acquired original series will be a terrific addition to our lineup next year.”

“I am extremely excited to be working with Syfy and Nomadic Pictures to create a unique, character-driven action series that will move the traditional vampire tropes into bold and unexpected new territories,” said LaBute. “This is a wonderful chance for us to forge great stories and unforgettable characters and throw them into a world where the stakes — both dramatic and personal — are tremendously high. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Chad and Mike at Nomadic again and with Chris Regina at Syfy. The combination of all of us on this project together is going to be combustible. I hope we rip the doors off this genre week after week.”

“Van Helsing” is produced by Nomadic Pictures. Executive Producers are Oakes, Frislev, showrunner/writer LaBute, Simon Barry, Evan Tyler, Dave Brown and Daniel March. Nomadic Pictures will distribute the series within Canada, Fallout Asylum and Dynamic Television will distribute the series in the United States and Dynamic will distribute the series throughout the rest of the world.
