“It’s all very hush-hush but it is known on set that Jodie is leaving and they are gearing up for a regeneration,” the UK tabloid The Mirror reported on Sunday.

Exclusive: NBC has put in development a father-daughter murder mystery drama from Blindspot creator/executive producer Martin Gero and executive producer Alex Berger, as well as Universal TV, where Gero and his Quinn’s House are under an overall deal.

Written by Berger, in the drama, when a dogged young reporter witnesses the murder of her sister, she launches an investigation to find the people responsible, enlisting the help of her estranged father – a legendary but reclusive investigative journalist.

Berger executive produces with frequent collaborator Gero. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

Gero created, executive produced and served as showrunner, and Berger served as executive producer on the NBC/Wbtv drama Blindspot which recently aired its fifth and final season.

Ioan Gruffudd’s Australian crime drama Harrow is heading to the UK after Discovery and BBC Studios-backed broadcaster UKTV struck a five-show deal with Hollywood studio deal.

The volume deal also includes Katy Mixon’s American Housewife, the first U.S. comedy picked up by the broadcaster after an extensive sitcom search, and Jodie Whittaker-fronted The Assets as well as the return of Quantico and Code Black.

Harrow, which will air on UKTV’s Alibi, co-created by Secrets & Lies writer Stephen M. Irwin and producer Leigh McGrath tells the story of Dr. Daniel Harrow, played by Gruffudd, who is no ordinary forensic pathologist, whose unfailing empathy for the dead help him solve even the most bizarre of cases. The series is produced by ABC Studios International in association with Australian producer Hoodlum.

Season three of Quantico, which stars Priyanka Chopra as FBI recruit Alex Parrish, also returns to Alibi.

UKTV has secured an exclusive multi-show rights deal with Disney U.K. for its W and Alibi channels, including new crime drama “Harrow.” The Australia-set show, which marks the first international co-production of London-based ABC Studios International, will make its British debut on Alibi in July this year.

Also making their debuts on the independent commercial broadcaster are U.S. comedy “American Housewife,” starring Katy Mixon, which will see its third season air on W, and 2014 CIA thriller “The Assets,” which stars new “Doctor Who” star Jodie Whittaker, which will air on Alibi.

The deal also confirms the return of FBI recruits crime drama “Quantico” for its third season, and medical drama “Code Black” for seasons three and four, to Alibi and W, respectively. “Quantico” is confirmed to air in June, with all five shows set to air in 2018.

Shot on location in Brisbane, “Harrow” (pictured) is produced by Disney-owned ABC Studios Intl.

Jodie Whittaker is the 13th Doctor. This Christmas, for the first time in over 50 years of Doctor Who, the Time Lord will become a Time Lady, and arguably, it's about time. There are those who will have been waiting for this for a very long time, and those who are (let's charitably say) trepidatious about the casting decision, but anyone who's familiar with Whittaker's work should be thrilled.

The two-part event will follow the rise and crash of Madoff, played by Richard Dreyfuss (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), whose $65 billion Ponzi scheme was one of the largest financial scams in United States history.

It appears that ABC intends for The Assets to be a mini-series with just eight episodes. But, if the show is a big hit in the ratings, can a second season be far behind? What will happen? Stay tuned!

The Assets revolves around the real life events of CIA counter-intelligence officers Sandy Grimes (Jodie Whittaker) and Jeanne Vertefeuille (Harriet Walter) and their search for the most notorious traitor in Us History, Aldrich Ames (Paul Rhys). Others in the cast include Stuart Milligan, Julian Ovenden, Christina Cole, and Ralph Brown.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available -- usually the next day, around 11:30am Est/8:30am Pst. Refresh to see the latest.

As you may recall, ABC started running The Assets on January 2nd but pulled the limited series after just two epipsdes had aired. Now, the network has announced that the show will be returning this summer -- for a little while.

The network will start airing the remaining six episodes on Saturday, June 21st, at 9pm. Here's the schedule:

Saturday, June 21st - "Trip to Vienna"

Saturday, June 28th - "What's Done is Done"

With the holidays in the rearview mirror and pilot season revving into high gear, the time has come for the major networks to unveil the programming they didn’t deem good enough for a much-hyped fall premiere. Midseason shows can be great (“Moonlighting”!) or they can fail miserably (any spring at NBC), so program your DVRs with care. But good or not, there will always be an actor or two worth seeking out. CBS, the Goliath of the Big Four, has only one midseason series scheduled: “Intelligence,” starring Josh Holloway as a spy with a computer chip embedded in his brain and Marg Helgenberger looking out for him. Since it’s CBS, expect a lot of procedural and not too much questioning of what that means, ethically. (And put a pin in the net’s upcoming adaptation of the Cameron Diaz movie “Bad Teacher,” starring Ari Graynor and not yet on the schedule.

Last night, ABC unveiled their newest Thursdays at 10pm show. Will The Assets be a hit like Scandal or, another ratings disappointment?

Based on the book Circle of Treason, The Assets follows the real life story of CIA counter-intelligence officers Sandy Grimes (Jodie Whittaker) and Jeanne Vertefeuille (Harriet Walter) as they search for Aldrich Ames (Paul Rhys), the most notorious traitor in Us History. Others in this 1980s drama include include Stuart Milligan, Julian Ovenden, Christina Cole, and Ralph Brown.

Airing opposite new episodes of Elementary on CBS and Parenthood on NBC, The Assets was in a distant third place. It premiered with a dismal 0.7 rating (a 0.66 actually) in the 18-49 demographic and 3.77 million total viewers -- the lowest series premiere in the history of the four big networks.

This is in huge contrast to the ratings of Scandal,...

The network has ordered eight installments of The Assets. The show is based on the real life events of CIA counter-intelligence officer Sandy Grimes and takes place in 1985, during the final days of the Cold War.
