Is Paramount+ cleaning house?

It seems that every scripted series that doesn't have Taylor Sheridan's name attached is getting the pink slip.

The latest series to get canceled is Joe Pickett, which recently wrapped its sophomore run on the service.

We get it: The streaming bubble has burst.

Amid the SAG-AFTRA strike and coming off the WGA strike, some controversial decisions have been made across the whole breadth of the business.

But this latest cancellation from Paramount+ hurts, mainly because the series didn't waste a single scene.

Paramount+ recently caught heat when it promoted the season finale as the series finale before walking the footage back.

These things happen.

It happened with Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on Max, which went on to get renewed, so maybe it was a mistake.

But it doesn't get away from the fact that we're losing a gem of a series that delivered on many fronts.

"Joe Pickett", the new mystery TV series, based on author C.J. Box’s book series, starring Michael Dorman as a Wyoming game warden, with David Alan Grier, Julianna Guill, Sharon Lawrence, Paul Sparks, Mustafa Speaks, Skywalker Hughes, Kamyrn Pliva, Patrick Gallagher, Chad Rook, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Leah Gibson and Aadila Dosani, has been canceled after 2 seasons, streaming on Spectrum and Paramount +:

"...a dead body winds up on Joe’s front doorstep as he and his family find themselves in the crosshairs of a larger looming conspiracy.

"Without the help of local law enforcement, Joe takes matters into his own hands as he questions what it means to be a good man and father in a world that lives on the edge of the wilderness..."

“Joe Pickett” has been canceled at Paramount+ after two seasons, Variety has learned.

The drama series was originally commissioned by Charter Communications’ Spectrum Originals in early 2021. The first season aired on that platform beginning in December 2021, with Spectrum announcing a second season order in February 2022.

However, Spectrum Originals head Katherine Pope was named head of Sony Pictures Television in July 2022, with Charter announcing it would be shutting down Spectrum Originals operations in August of that year. Paramount+ has the streaming rights to the series, as it is produced by Paramount Television Studios, with Season 2 airing on the streaming service beginning in June 2023. Both seasons will remain available on the service for the time being.

“Joe Pickett” followed the title character, a Wyoming game warden played by Michael Dorman, as he investigates crimes in and around the town of Saddlestring. The series is based on the Joe Pickett novels written by C.J. Box.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Billy the Kid.

The season 2 premiere of Billy the Kid surprises by killing off a major historical figure of the Lincoln County War, raising questions about the accuracy of the series. Jim Dolan, a significant figure in the real-life conflict, was actually an integral part of Murphy's House and considered the instigator of the war. The decision to prematurely kill off Dolan and other historical inaccuracies in the series suggests a lack of devotion to historical accuracy in Billy the Kid.

The season 2 premiere of Billy the Kid rewrites history by prematurely killing a major historical figure of the Lincoln County War. Beginning in February 1878 in the developing United States territory of Lincoln County, New Mexico, the Lincoln County War was an ongoing violent feud that lasted until 1881. One of the most important real-life figures in the was was William H. Bonney, better known by...

Billy the Kid will be back on TV screens very soon.

MGM+ this week that Billy the Kid Season 2 will debut on Sunday, October 15, at 9 p.m. Et/Pt.

There is a little bit of a catch:

Four episodes of the season will air this year, with the final four being held until 2024.

A reason for the decision has not been revealed, but there's a good chance it has something to do with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Last summer, a TV series based on the Resident Evil video game franchise made its debut on the Netflix streaming service – and was quickly cancelled. That show was an entirely separate project from Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the feature film that was released at the end of 2021… and it looks like Welcome to Raccoon City was the more successful of the two projects, because it might actually be getting a follow-up! That movie came to us from Raccoon Hg Film Productions and was filmed in Greater Sudbury, a city in Ontario, Canada. Sudbury.com reports that a mysterious movie called Umbrella Chronicles, which is backed by Raccoon Hg Film Productions, is receiving $2 million in funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation to film in the Greater Sudbury area. Since this movie is coming from the same production company as Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, is going...
