There’s a change in Tuesday primetime programming on The CW. The network has pulled travelogue series Down To Earth with Zac Efron and Fantastic Friends after just two episodes. Both series premiered on July 18. Remaining episodes will be available on the CW app and cwtv.com.
The CW will air reruns of Penn & Teller: Fool Us (8-9 pm) and Whose Line Is It Anyway? (9-10 pm) in their place.
Down To Earth and Fantastic Friends are the latest acquired series to be pulled from the CW schedule, following the Australian surfing drama Barons, which was pulled after four episodes in June.
Down To Earth with Zac Efron, acquired from Netflix, experienced a 24% drop in viewers from the first episode to episode 2, and Fantastic Friends had low viewership from the start, dropping from 161K viewers in episode 1 to 158K in episode 2. Seasons 1 and 2 of Down To Earth are still streaming on Netflix.

The Inbetweeners star James Buckley is continuing to take Cameo by storm in the UK.
The comedy actor joined the video platform in March 2020, where he swiftly gained popularity for his willingness to send personalised videos quoting his famous catchphrases from the sitcom.
Buckley, who played Jay Cartwright on the Channel 4 show, regularly responds to requests for clips, with reports in 2021 revealing that he was responding to as many as 37 requests a day.
At the time, company co-founder Martin Blencowe said that actor “takes it very seriously”, adding: “He’s ready to do the work.”
It seems this has paid off following reports that Buckley has now become the first non-us celebrity to make 1m from the platform.
Confirming the report, Blencowe commented on why Buckley continues to be so successful on the app.
“James was incredibly popular from the start, but he’s stayed committed to his fans,...

Following the first trailer that debuted last week, we have an exclusive clip from the upcoming sci-fi thriller Vice that gives us a proper introduction to this futuristic resort, through a message from Julian Michaels (Bruce Willis). Much like Westworld and Total Recall before it, Vice centers on a place where fantasies are fulfilled without consequence or punishment of any kind. This scene gives us a few brief glimpses at what some of those scenarios could be while visiting Vice.
Julian Michaels (Bruce Willis) has designed the ultimate resort: Vice, where anything goes and the customers can play out their wildest fantasies with artificial inhabitants who look, think and feel like humans. When an artificial (Ambyr Childers) becomes self-aware and escapes, she finds herself caught in the crossfire between Julian's mercenaries and a cop (Thomas Jane) who is hell-bent on shutting down Vice, and stopping the violence once and for all.

Artificial intelligence comes to life in sinful ways in the first trailer for Vice, starring Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane. The project reunites director Brian A Miller with Bruce Willis, who collaborated together on the recent-action-thriller The Prince. As you'll see below, Vice is just the latest in what appears to be a string of film and TV projects involving A.I. androids, including the upcoming Westworld remake and Neill Blomkamp's Chappie.
