  1. Shemar Moore, S.W.A.T., #SWAT,

    While the show continues to perform well in its Friday at 8:00 p.m. timeslot, CBS has decided not to renew “S.W.A.T.” for a seventh season. The Friday, May 19 episode will now serve as the show’s series finale.

    A new take on the 1975 “S.W.A.T.” TV series and the 2003 feature film, “S.W.A.T.” starred Shemar Moore (“The Young and the Restless”) as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, Hondo strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds.

    According to Deadline, the decision to cancel came down to financials. While CBS Studios was a co-producer on the series, lead producer Sony Pictures Television wasn’t willing to accept another flat license fee renewal offer as it had previously done. That would have eaten into the studio’s long-term profits off of the show and would balloon the per-episode budget on their end. CBS reportedly upped the per-episode license fee, but it would have cut down on the number of episodes ordered for next season, another sticking point for Sony.

    “For six seasons, the amazing talents of the ‘S.W.A.T.’ cast led by Shemar Moore, the writers, producers and crew guided by Executive Producers Shawn Ryan, Andy Dettman and Aaron Rahsaan Thomas brought us compelling, action packed episodes that also addressed important social issues and contributed to the success of our primetime line up,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment in a statement. “We sincerely thank them for their incredible work and passion and also thank our dedicated fans who tuned in every week.”

    In addition to Moore, the series also starred Alex Russell as Jim Street, Jay Harrington as David “Deacon” Kay, Kenny Johnson as Dominique Luca, David Lim as Victor Tan, Patrick St. Esprit as Commander Robert Hicks and Rochelle Aytes as Nichelle, Hondo’s girlfriend, the operator of a South LA community center.

    Entitled “Legacy,” part two of what was to be the show’s two-part season finale, now series finale, airs Friday, May 19 and finds the team working with the DEA and their iron-jawed leader, Mack Boyle (guest star Timothy Hutton), to stop a ruthless cartel boss waging war on the streets of Los Angeles as he exacts revenge on those who killed his son.

    Shemar Moore reprises his role as Malcolm Winters on the Monday, May 8 episode of “The Young and the Restless.”

  2. Lexi Ainsworth, Kristina Corinthos-Davis, Kristina Davis, General Hospital, GH, GH60, GH ABC, #GH, #GH60, #GeneralHospital

    Although a CBS representative initially confirmed in early April that Lexi Ainsworth (ex-Kristina Corinthos-Davis, “General Hospital”) would be appearing in the May 22 season finale episode of “NCIS,” which Ainsworth herself indicated in her recent video message in response to the news of her exit from “General Hospital, Soap Opera Network has since been informed by CBS that Ainsworth’s episode will instead be airing on Monday, May 8, which is not the season finale episode of the hit procedural as originally reported.

    In the episode entitled “Second Opinion,” the NCIS team works to solve the murder of a senator’s daughter who has a rebellious reputation and a large online following. Meanwhile, Jimmy (Brian Dietzen) gets competitive with an old college rival. The episode was written by Marco Schnabel and directed by Tawnia McKiernan. Ainsworth will play a character named Holly Lygnos in the episode.

    “NCIS” follows a team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service who work to solve cases involving murder, espionage, terrorism and even stolen submarines with ties to the Navy or Marine Corps.

    The series stars Sean Murray as NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, Wilmer Valderrama as NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres, Brian Dietzen as Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer, Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines, Katrina Law as NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance and Gary Cole as FBI Special Agent Alden Parker. Original cast member David McCallum continues to appear as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard.

    Already renewed for a 21st season, “NCIS” airs Mondays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Youcan also stream live and On Demand on Paramoutn+*.

     *Paramount+ Premium subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service as well as on-demand. Essential tier subscribers will have access to the on-demand the following day after the episode airs.

    “Doctor Who” returns in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will air over the Christmas holidays.

    The series will premiere exclusively on the BBC for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Disney+ is the exclusive home for new “Doctor Who” seasons outside of the UK and Ireland.

    Following his brief run on “One Life to Live,” Groff went on to make a name for himself in primetime and on Broadway, most famously when he dazzled audiences with his performance as King George III in “Hamilton.” In 2021, he received a Primetime Emmy nomination for his portrayal in the live stage production of the Broadway musical aired on Disney+ in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. The cast album won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album in 2016.

    On television, Groff played Jesse St. James in the musical comedy “Glee.” He then starred as Patrick Murray in the HBO original series “Looking” and its follow-up movie, aptly titled “Looking.” He also portrayed Holden Ford in the critically acclaimed Netflix series “Mindhunter” and more recently made an appearance in the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That…” for HBO Max.

    On the big screen, Groff is best known for his voice role as Kristoff in the “Frozen” films. He also starred as the new Agent Smith in “The Matrix Resurrections,” the fourth film in the iconic franchise. Earlier this year he starred in Universal’s “Knock at the Cabin.”

  4. Lexi Ainsworth, Kristina Davis, General Hospital, GH, GH60, GH ABC, #GH, #GH60, #GeneralHospital

    “General Hospital” fans were shocked on Thursday when they learned that the daytime drama series has decided to recast the role of Kristina Corinthos-Davis, most notably portrayed by Lexi Ainsworth (2009-2011; 2015-2023), with “Days of our Lives” alum Kate Mansi (ex-Abigail Deveraux DiMera). Ainsworth made her final appearance on the daytime drama series on Thursday, April 27. Mansi begins airing as Kristina during the week of May 22, 2023.

    Hours after the news broke, Ainsworth finally broke her silence on Instagram, revealing her exit from the show was a “mutually beneficial decision” and that even though she was looking forward to Kristina’s upcoming storyline, which was “inspired by a personal experience,” she ultimately felt from her perspective that it would be best that she writes said story from “my point of view.”

    In the video message, Ainsworth starts things off by saying, “Hey guys, I wanted to come on here and speak to my ‘General Hospital’ fans and let you guys know that after 10 transformative years, both personally and for my character, that I will be leaving ‘General Hospital.’”

    Discussing why she decided to leave the show, Ainsworth stated, “I was looking forward to this upcoming storyline because it was inspired by a personal experience of mine, but I am currently working on writing my own story from my point of view which has been thus far cathartic and hopefully inspiring to other women. So, I look forward to sharing that with you guys when it is completed. 

    Ainsworth continued to share more information on her exit, noting it would ultimately give her opportunities she might not have partaken had she stayed. “While ‘General Hospital’ has remained a top priority, I have been interested in pursuing new career opportunities that align with my evolving interests and goals, and I’m confident that this mutually beneficial decision will lead to new endeavors where I will continue to grow and expand my talents beyond the industry. I do want to take a second to address the fans and express my deepest appreciation to you guys who have supported me over the years. She added, “Your loyalty has been a constant inspiration and I am forever grateful. The show would not be what it is without you guys.”

    While this might be the end of her run on the daytime drama series, Ainsworth isn’t finished with her acting career, reminding viewers she’ll be appearing in the 20th season finale of “NCIS,” airing Monday, May 22.

    “As I leave ‘General Hospital,’ I will continue carving out a space for myself where I am an active part of the creative process, and as much as it is hard to say goodbye I know that this has ultimately freed me for what I am meant to be pursuing,” further states about her exit. “So, with that being said [smiles], I hope that you guys continue to support me in my journey and I look forward to keeping you guys updated with all of the exciting things that are going on in my life and I will start by sharing that I have an episode of ‘NCIS’ that will be airing this month, May 22nd, so, hopefully, guy guys can tune in and stay tuned for more.

    In an Instagram story Ainsworth posted in early April, Ainsworth shared a snapshot of her headshot on a casting board, indicating she’d be playing the role of Holly Lygnos in the episode. Although the episode’s title at the time was “Second Opinion,” CBS recently announced the season finale episode will be titled “Black Sky,” which finds NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) finding himself in prison as the team tries to stop an impending terror attack on U.S. soil. “NCIS” airs Mondays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

    In 2017, Ainsworth won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Kristina Corinthos-Davis on “General Hospital.” She received her first nomination in 2011, the same year she took home the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Daytime TV Series – Younger Actress, also for her portrayal of Kristina.

    Outside of “General Hospital,” Ainsworth has appeared in episodes of “Gilmore Girls,” “iCarly,” “Cougar Town,” “Criminal Minds,” “Teen Wolf,” “Rizzoli & Isles” and “Shameless,” among other TV appearances. She co-starred in the 2015 film “A Girl Like Her” alongside “The Young and the Restless” alum Hunter King (ex-Summer Newman).

  5. Kate Mansi, Kristina Corinthos-Davis, General Hospital, GH, GH ABC, #GH, #GH60, #GeneralHospital

    “Days of our Lives” alum Kate Mansi will take over the role of Kristina Corinthos-Davis on “General Hospital,” replacing Lexi Ainsworth who had portrayed the role off and on since 2009.

    According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news, Mansi has already begun taping and will make her Port Charles debut during the week of May 22. Meanwhile, Ainsworth made her final appearance as Kristina in the Thursday, April 27 episode, which saw the character supporting her stepbrother, Michael (Chad Duell), at his wedding and her sister, Molly (Hayley Pullos), who was dealing with pregnancy issues.

    At press time, there was no reason given for the recast, but, as we previously reported, Ainsworth is set to appear in the season finale of “NCIS.”

    The last time the character was recast was in 2012 when Lindsey Morgan took over the role following Ainsworth’s departure. Morgan departed the series one year later while Ainsworth returned to the show in 2015.

    In 2016, it was revealed that Kristina had been having an affair with her college professor (played by Ashley Jones).

    Best known for her role as Abby Deveraux DiMera on “Days of our Lives,” Mansi won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2017 for her portrayal. She was nominated again in 2019 in the Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series category.

    Mansi can currently be seen as Hunter Clarkman in the limited series “Casa Grande,” now streaming exclusively on Amazon Freevee. Click here for more information.

    As previously reported, Shemar Moore is set to reprise his role as Malcolm Winters on the Monday, May 8 episode of “The Young and the Restless” in celebration of the show’s 50th anniversary. In a teaser clip released by CBS, we get our first glimpse of Malcolm as he and his family reunite for a special tribute to Malcolm’s brother, Neil (the late Kristoff St. John).

    In the episode, Malcolm returns to Genoa City to connect with his daughter, Lily (Christel Khalil), nephew Devon (Bryton James) and his stepson Nate (Sean Dominic) from a prior relationship with Nate’s mother, Olivia (Tonya Williams).

    For a refresher, Lily was determined to be the biological daughter of Malcolm from a one-night stand with Lily’s mother, Drucilla (Victoria Rowell). At the time, Dru thought she had slept with her husband, Neil, while under the influence of cold medicine. Devon was adopted by Dru and Neil in 2006.

    In addition to the Winters/Hamilton family, look for Moore to share scenes with Chene Lawson, who plays Devon’s mother (see story), Harmony, along with Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman), Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman), Camryn Grimes (Mariah Copeland), and Sharon Case (Sharon Newman), among others.

    Check out a sneak peek clip below.

    “The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays on CBS. The show is also available to stream live and On Demand on Paramount+.

    I heard about this yesterday. No matter what people say about the man and the Tonight Show feud between him and David Letterman, he's just an all around nice guy. I wasn't much of a fan of his show, but I'd take him back any day compared to the replacements.

    Whether it be long-term strikes or global pandemics, DAYS will always be there with fresh new exciting episodes :)

    The terminology might need some tweaking, but yes, Days will truly be there for all of our lives. Not sure if everyone would want that hanging over their shoulders for the rest of their lives, but it'll be there.

    While no official reason has been given as to why Disney decided to return “Dancing with the Stars” to ABC, the likely scenarios would be the network being able to lock in programming for its 2023-2024 schedule that would otherwise be in doubt due to a potential long-term writers’ strike, which is now in effect by the Writers Guild. Secondly, it reverses a decision made by former Disney management who made streaming the top priority for the company despite any potential financial hardship that would directly impact the broadcast network.

    In April 2022, it was announced that “Dancing with the Stars” had received a two-year renewal for Seasons 31 and 32, with the caveat being the show would transition to Disney+, making it the first live series to air on the streaming service and the first live-streaming reality show to air in the U.S. and Canada.

    It was also reported that ABC affiliates were blindsided and were upset by the decision. A statement released by ABC to affiliates at the time stated, “After over 30 seasons of the program on ABC, including two spin-offs, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ will move off of ABC this fall in order for the Network to showcase several ‘Monday Night Football’ games as well as develop and invest in new and future programming.” To help offset the shift in programming, ABC began airing additional “Monday Night Football” games, simulcasting the ESPN broadcast, directly competing against “Dancing with the Stars” airings on Disney+.

    During the 2022-2023 broadcast season, ABC aired a combination of shows, including “Monday Night Football,” “Bachelor in Paradise,” “The Great Christmas Light Fight” and “The Bachelor.” “American Idol” has also aired on select Mondays, and beginning Monday, May 8, “Jeopardy! Masters” takes over the slot for the remainder of the traditional broadcast season (September-May).

    Viewing figures for “Dancing with the Stars” on Disney+ were never released by the service. However, according to data released by third-party tracking firms, the show continued to perform high in social media engagement.

    Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars” sees the return of Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough as judges. Alfonso Ribeiro is stepping up to hosting duties, replacing Tyra Banks. Meanwhile, Julianne Hough will take over as the show’s co-host which includes interviewing the celebrities and their dance partners before and after their televised performances.

    Former judge Len Goodman retired at the end of Season 31 and sadly passed away last week. He was 78 years old.

    The fallout from the writers strike that has virtually shut down Hollywood is now beginning to impact daytime television, reports Deadline. CBS’ “The Talk” has shut down production because of the strike as its staff includes WGA writers.

    According to the outlet, “The Talk” will continue airing previously recorded all-new episodes for the remainder of this week, including an episode featuring Shemar Moore as a guest co-host. The actor will reprise his role as Malcolm Winters on “The Young and the Restless” on Monday, May 8.

    The show could air repeats starting next week or as soon as its pre-recorded originals run out, Deadline notes.

    “The View,” which also has WGA writers, will continue production, moderator Whoopi Goldberg announced on today’s show. Meanwhile, the late-night talk shows have already stopped production and will begin airing re-runs starting tonight and until the strike concludes.

  15. 3 minutes ago, Liberty City said:

    Michael Confronti was last at The Young and the Restless from 2012–2023. I do not believe he is presently employed by another soap. He has experience at General Hospital and worked during the Guza era. While Guza's tenure was inconsistent, he and his team were at least able to construct a storyline, so that could benefit the overall General Hospital canvas, especially since he's fi-core. Tomlin, however, is the obvious choice.

    I'm unsure if he'd return or be asked to return since he worked under Jill Farren Phelps and went with her to The Young and the Restless after Ron Carlivati took over as Head Writer. We shall see. Speaking of Y&R, it and DAYS are currently the safest in terms of writing as Josh Griffith already went fi-core during the last strike and he let go all the breakdown writers so he's essentially already doing the work himself. And Days of our Lives is so far ahead that Dinosaurs have already been resurrected as the dominant species on Earth (Humans are just picketing in front of Hollywood studios to pass their day).

  16. Camila Banus, Gabi Hernandez, Days of our Lives, DAYS, DOOL, #DAYS, #DOOL, #DaysofourLives

    Although we’ll still see her on-screen for several months due to the show’s heightened tape-to-air schedule, actress Camila Banus recently wrapped her 13-year run as Gabi Hernandez on “Days of our Lives.”

    In an exit interview with TheWrap’s Rosemary Rossi, Banus reveals she taped her final scenes in Salem at the Burbank-based studio on Friday, April 28 and that she’s ready to “start the next chapter” in her life.

    “There’s definitely been a lot of changes at ‘DAYS’ the last couple of years, one being moving to Peacock. Although it’s been wonderful and we’ve had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general. And I kind of just saw that as a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life.”

    While Banus joined the cast of “Days of our Lives” in October 2010, her first soap role was playing Lola Montez on “One Life to Live” from October 2008 to May 2009. She’s now ready for non-soap work.

    “That’s an enormous amount of time, especially in this industry where it’s such an inconsistent employment process that I call it the 99% unemployment industry for everyone,” laughed Banus in an interview with TheWrap, when discussing the length of run on “Days of our Lives.” She added, “You know, you book something and you never know what’s up ahead or what may be the future for that project. So I’ve been very blessed and very lucky to have been representing Latinas and Latinos as Gabi. And I’m just ready to see how I can represent further along in my career, you know, see what the next chapter of representing will be.”

    Stating that her decision to exit was “tough” and bittersweet, Banus notes that a month before her contract was up, producers asked what her terms were so they could renegotiate a new deal. One major sticking point for Banus was a schedule adjustment that would allow her to have more time off which was a no go from the show’s perspective, among other matters.

    “‘Well, if you can’t meet these demands, then I can’t,” recalls Banus of what she told producers after the time off issue was clearly a no go for them. “I talked to producers and they had a call with me and they were like, ‘Well, what can we do?’ And I honestly [said], ‘I need to slow down. And part of that is, you know, you guys accepting this shooting schedule for me, and you won’t. So, you know, I have to respectfully bow out and say thank you, and that’s all I can do.’”

    EDIT (Tuesday, July 18, 2023 at 12:38 a.m. EDT):
    As of Friday, July 14 at 12:01 a.m. PDT, the thread included conversations relating to both the Writers Strike (WGA) and the Actors Strike (SAG-AFTRA = TV/Theatrical). The WGA strike began on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 at 12:01 a.m. PDT.

  18. Judge Judy Sheindlin, Judy Justice, Amazon Freevee, #JudyJustice, #AmazonFreevee

    Amazon Freevee is staying in business with Judge Judy Sheindlin, ordering two additional seasons of her Daytime Emmy Award-winning series “Judy Justice.” The streamer has also greenlit “Justice on Trial,” a never-before-seen courtroom docudrama featuring testimony and reenactments based on actual court transcripts. It marks the third original series created and executive produced by Sheindlin for Amazon Freevee, including “Tribunal Justice,” which premieres Friday, June 9 on the service.

    Since its launch in November 2021, “Judy Justice” has emerged as Amazon Freevee’s No. 1 Original program in hours watched, with customers viewing more than 150 million hours to date. Now in its second season, all-new episodes will continue to release every weekday through Friday, June 9. During its debut season, the show won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program. Episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 are also available for On Demand viewing through the show’s FAST channel.

    “Justice on Trial” is a new exploration of the American justice system through the vehicle of a docudrama, exploring the footings of American jurisprudence—including what children are taught in school, police diligence as opposed to overreach, and individual rights versus the greater good. Some of these thought-provoking and controversial topics have been the subject of Supreme Court rulings. “Justice on Trial” will examine these seminal rulings through a combination of sometimes-heated courtroom debate, lively civil discourse, and common-sense legal analysis.

    “‘Justice on Trial’ explores, through reenactment, some of the most famous and infamous cases in this country and their impact on every American,” said Sheindlin in a statement. “There has never been a program like it. It is smart and compelling TV.”

    Speaking on the two-season renewal of her daily court show, Sheindlin said, “How shall I describe my feelings about Amazon Freevee’s renewal of ‘Judy Justice’? Gratifying, certainly. Grateful, of course. In exploring the continued success of the program, I do believe that people long to see old-fashion justice administered with an even hand. A little humor doesn’t hurt. I intend to deliver both for as long as I’m able.”

    “Over the course of two seasons on Amazon Freevee, Judge Sheindlin has delighted her long-standing fans and won over a new streaming audience with her no-nonsense approach to resolving every dispute on ‘Judy Justice,’” said Lauren Anderson, head of AVOD Originals, unscripted, and targeted programming, Amazon Studios. “With Justice on Trial, we look forward to offering our audience new opportunities to learn more about the legal process and the laws that govern our lives, as Judge Sheindlin goes beyond the bench to educate us all on landmark cases that have shifted our world.”

    Joining Sheindlin in her “Judy Justice” courtroom are bailiff Kevin Rasco, a retired Los Angeles probation officer; court stenographer Whitney Kumar, a board-certified court reporter in the state of California; and newly minted lawyer Sarah Rose, who serves as the law clerk.

    “Judy Justice” is executive produced and directed by Randy Douthit and co-executive produced by Amy Freisleben. Scott Koondel is also an executive producer.

  19. Guy Wilson, Days of our Lives, DAYS, DOOL, #DAYS, #DOOL, #DaysofourLives,

    Amazon Freevee has renewed  “Bosch: Legacy” for a third season, ahead of the second season premiere this fall. Starring Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch, a retired homicide detective turned private investigator, as he embarks on the next chapter of his career, the series will welcome “Days of our Lives” alum Guy Wilson (ex-Will Horton) to its cast for Season 2.

    “The story of Harry Bosch has evolved over the years, and his journey is far from over,” said Lauren Anderson, head of AVOD Originals, unscripted, and targeted programming, Amazon Studios. “This renewal of ‘Bosch: Legacy’ is a testament to the enduring power of the world Michael Connelly built. We look forward to giving ‘Bosch’ fandom the next chapter for these beloved characters.” 

    “What a gift and a joy it is to be able to dig into these characters again and take their stories even further,” said Connelly, the show’s writer and executive producer. “Ten years ago, we began this amazing journey, partnering with Prime Video and now Amazon Freevee, and I couldn’t be happier with what we’ve done and will do.”

    The second season sees numerous cast introductions, including David Denman (“Mare of Easttown,” “Brightburn”) as Kurt Dockweiler, Patrick Brennan (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” “The Next Three Days”) as David Foster, Rafael Cabrera (“Too Old to Die Young,” “S.W.A.T.”) as Vince Harrick, Bruce Davison (“X-Men,” “The Crucible”) as James Rafferty, Jessica Camacho (“All Rise,” “Watchmen”) as Jade Quinn, and Guy Wilson (“Angelyne,” “Days of Our Lives”) as Det. Kevin Long.

    Returning cast members include Jamie Hector (Det. Jerry Edgar), Stephen A. Chang (Maurice “Mo” Bassi), Denise Sanchez (Det. Reina Vasquez), David Moses (Martin Rose), Cynthia Kaye McWilliams (Det. Joan Bennett), Scott Klace (Sgt. John Mankiewicz), Gregory Scott Cummins (Det. “Crate” Moore), Troy Evans (Det. “Barrel” Johnson), Jacqueline Pinol (Det. Julie Epinosa), Jacqueline Obradors (Christine Vega), DaJuan Johnson (Rondell Pierce), and David Marciano (Det. Brad Conniff).

    Mimi Rogers continues in the role of attorney Honey “Money” Chandler, who struggles to maintain her faith in the justice system after surviving an attempted murder, and Madison Lintz continues as Maddie Bosch, who discovers the possibilities and challenges of being a rookie patrol cop on the streets of Los Angeles. 

    In a logline released for season two, Bosch and Chandler work together to seek out a killer who just might find them first. As a result of being kidnapped by a masked assailant, Maddie Bosch’s law enforcement career hangs in the balance. While they hunt for Maddie, the FBI scrutinizes Carl Rogers’ murder and places Bosch and Chandler under suspicion.

    Produced by Fabel Entertainment for Amazon Freevee, the show is executive produced by Michael Connelly, Eric Overmyer, Tom Bernardo, Henrik Bastin, Pieter Jan Brugge and Titus Welliver.

  20. Peter Krause, Angela Bassett, 9-1-1, 20th Television

    First, the bad news. Despite being the highest-rated entertainment series on Monday nights and tied as the second-highest-rated entertainment series overall across broadcast television, “9-1-1,” the highest-rated broadcast drama series in Adults 18-49 (1.0 rating/8 share), has been canceled at FOX after six seasons. The good news is ABC has picked up the series and it will return for Season 7 sometime during the 2023-2024 broadcast television season. No cast changes are expected with the switch in TV networks.

    Exploring the high-pressure experiences of first responders – including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers – who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations, “9-1-1” is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision. The series stars Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Peter Krause as Bobby Nash, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Kendall, Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley, Kenneth Choi as Howie “Chimney” Han, Aisha Hinds as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz, Corinne Massiah as May Grant, Marcanthonee Jon Reis as Harry Grant, and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz.

    “Thanks to the creative drive of [series co-creators] Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, as well as the talented cast, ‘9-1-1’ has been one of the most defining and original dramas on network television over the last six seasons and we are honored to bring it to the esteemed group of series on ABC,” said Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group. “It’s a privilege to keep ‘9-1-1’ in the family with 20th Television producing, and we look forward to telling more heart-racing and uplifting stories about these beloved characters on our air.”

    Alexis Martin Woodall, Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, John J. Gray, Kristen Reidel and Juan Carlos Coto also serve as executive producers.

    According to Deadline, FOX decided not to renew “9-1-1” following its Season 6 finale, airing Monday, May 15 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, which was expected after negotiations came down to the wire last year when a deal for the current season closed just an hour before the network’s 2022-2023 upfront presentation. For more on what happened behind the scenes and how the show landed at ABC, click here.

    Fans wondering what happens to spinoff “9-1-1: Lonestar” now that the parent series is leaving FOX can rest easy. The network renewed the series shortly after announcing the “9-1-1” cancellation.
