Bachelor, also known as King Bach, will play U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis, a fierce rival to Canadian Ben Johnson (Anderson) who in 1988 cheated his way to a gold medal in the 100 meter final at the Seoul Olympics.

Exclusive: Stapleview, the digital comedy production outfit founded by Sam Grey, is expanding its North American footprint with a strategic investment from Blink49 Studios as well as two key hires.

The capital raise from Blink49 Studios, a Fifth Season-backed company, will fuel the growth of Stapleview’s production and management divisions, particularly helping to scale the company’s slate of scripted and unscripted comedy for a broader North American audience.

In particular, Stapleview and Blink49 will focus on co-producing long-form adaptations of Stapleview’s digital comedy series and formats for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Stapleview will also launch a Canadian content hub to manage Canadian talent and develop original series and formats with the Canadian creative community.

Fifth Season-backed Blink49 Studios has acquired Pier21 Films to extend its Canadian production reach.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition will see Pier21 Films’ current productions, library and active development projects move to Blink49 Studios. In addition, Pier21 founder Laszlo Barna will exit the company with an exclusive first-look agreement with Blink49 Studios, while co-CEOs Nicole Butler and Vanessa Steinmetz will leave the Toronto-based company on completion of the transaction.

Tubi Originals...

Canadians are a polite, funny bunch, by and large, so it's somewhat surprising that sitcoms made in the Great White North rarely make waves across the border. Of course, shows like the 1970s one-off The Trouble with Tracy would make a strong argument for why that was the case (don't go looking for it... you've been warned). That has since turned around, with series like Workin' Moms and the critically acclaimed Schitt's Creek finding success in the U.S. One of the more recent Canadian sitcoms to tread American waters is the wholesome(ish) Son of a Critch, the top-rated scripted sitcom on the CW for 2023-24. It's a rating the sitcom has definitely earned, given its status as one of a handful of sitcoms to score 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The CW has had a messy few years, with multiple cancellations and final season orders. In 2024, five shows were either canceled or ended, and one of them was beautifully managed as it brought the end of an era.

There is only one remaining original from The CW era of TV after Nexstar took it over. That one is All American, with the other three shows coming to an end in 2024. two of The CW cancellations weren’t actually due to the network itself. We can blame the Canadian networks that commissioned the shows instead.

The CW show that ended in 2024

There was one TV show from The CW that officially ended. It was final seasoned, making sure that fans had a chance to say goodbye. This was important, considering it brought the end of an era. Yes, we’re talking about Superman & Lois.

This was the last remaining Arrowverse series on the network.

Now that 2024 has come to a close, it’s official, Netflix once again handed out the most cancellations in the calendar year – though at this point, I don’t think anyone will find this surprising. While the streaming platform has gotten better as the years have gone by in giving shows final seasons and the chances to establish themselves with audiences, the streaming platform continues to have some of the biggest cancellation rates in the business and 2024 was no different.

In total, Netflix canceled 16 shows in 2024 while also handing six additional shows their walking papers with final season orders which are about as close to cancellations as you can get the only difference being that those lucky six shows will get to actually wrap up their runs with proper sendoffs. So when you combine the two groups, Netflix decided to end a whopping 22 shows in 2024 be it by canceling them directly or ordering final seasons.

Exclusive: Hulu has snapped up critically-acclaimed Channel 4 comedy Big Boys as part of a multi-title deal with Fifth Season.

Big Boys Season 1 and 2 are available now on the U.S. streamer.

Created by Jack Rooke and based on his personal experiences, Big Boys has been a Channel 4 success story both critically and ratings-wise. The show follows the semi-fictional Jack, played by Derry Girls’ Dylan LLewellyn, a closeted shy student who is grieving his father’s death as he heads to university. There, he lives with mature student Danny (Jon Pointing), a lad about town figure who is in fact trying to disguise his own mental health issues. The second season premiered in January and a third was confirmed over the summer. Rooke scooped a BAFTA earlier this year for Writer, Comedy, and has been nominated for several more.

The move is a coup for the team behind Big Boys...

Stephen King fans, get ready! Another of the legendary author’s spine-chilling stories is making its way to the small screen.

Exclusive: Simone Miller (Run The Burbs) and Jason Diaz (Vampire Academy) have been cast alongside Mary-Louise Parker and Ben Barnes in The Institute, MGM+’s thriller series based on the 2019 Stephen King novel, from director/executive producer Jack Bender, writer/executive producer Benjamin Cavell and MGM+ Studios.

In the eight-episode The Institute, when 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities.

Jared Padalecki discusses Walker's cancellation and CW's strategic changes. Padalecki believes Nexstar is taking the CW in a different direction with more unscripted content. The CW's shift may lead to a loss of devoted fans, as established shows like Walker are cancelled.

Actor Jared Padalecki opens up about Walkers cancelation and the recent changes to the CW networks strategy. Padalecki plays the titular character on the CW series, which began its run in 2021. Last month, it was announced that Walker was canceled and would be ending its run after season 4. Walker aired its season 4 finale episode earlier this week on June 26, 2024.

Speaking with Variety, Padalecki discusses his reaction to Walkers cancelation and the CWs resultant changes. When asked if he knew anything about the details of Walkers cancelation, Padelecki explained that he thought it was a multivariate kind of issue and that Nexstar is going in a different direction with the CW.

As The CW has changed its financial model under new owners Nexstar, entertainment president Brad Schwartz has relied more on international co-productions from countries like Canada. Speaking on Tuesday at the Banff World Media Festival, Schwartz — who hails from Canada — acknowledged that in the past, Canadian acquisitions on U.S. networks have often been seen in a lesser light. He’s hoping that perception is changing, however.

“I would hate for anybody to ever think that Canada is the discount area, because that’s kind of our Canadian personalities in the first place,” Schwartz said. “Canada has the advantage of having some great broadcasters that are required to invest a lot of money in Canadian content. And then there are tax credits and our American dollars go farther here. I think historically maybe people didn’t respect Canadian content as much. And maybe there’s still a little bit of that in the background.

The CW has revealed its Fall 2024 schedule, which includes very few familiar shows. Returning this fall are Inside the NFL, Sullivan's Crossing, Superman & Lois, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

The new fall shows are Joan, The Librarians: The Next Chapter, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and WWE Nxt (network debut).

New series Good Cop/Bad Cop and Sherlock & Daughter have been mentioned as being held for midseason. There was no mention of previously ordered The Force or returner Run the Burbs.

The fates of numerous original/acquired/partnered series on the network have yet to be announced. Those in limbo include 100 Days to Indy, All American, Children Ruin Everything, The Chosen, Crime Nation, Family Law, Lovers & Liars, Masters of Illusion, Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Sight Unseen, Son of...

It’s been less than two years since the close of Nexstar’s acquisition of The CW and the network’s primetime slate could not look more different.

In addition to the broadcaster’s shifted focus to sports, unscripted fare and foreign imports/co-productions, The CW will soon be getting into the original TV movie business. In an interview with Variety, network president Dennis Miller and president of entertainment Brad Schwartz revealed that The CW is planning to air its own slate of films (in addition to acquired features) on Sunday nights beginning later this year.

The network already has a Sunday night movie block, which will continue in the fall according to the network’s newly-released fall 2024 schedule. But in addition to airing well-known studio movies, they will be producing movies of their own — as many as ten. The network is prepping a deal with an unnamed TV movie...

The Phams continue to live their best life in the second season of the Run the Burbs TV show on The CW.

There will not be a fourth season of Canadian comedy Run the Burbs. Co-creator and star Andrew Phung shared the news Thursday on Instagram that CBC has canceled the series after three seasons.

“It is with mixed emotions that we share the news that CBC has decided not to move forward with a fourth season of Run the Burbs,” Phung wrote. “Naturally, we were saddened to hear this, but it’s also offered a chance for us to reflect on the 3 seasons we’ve made.”

“Making Run the Burbs was an absolute joy and we’re so incredibly proud of what this show has accomplished on and off screen.

Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment at The CW, has “ambitious” goals.

As The CW moves away from only serving young adult audiences towards rivaling the Big Four broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC – Schwartz knows he needs to find a hit to do that.

This, after all, is the man credited with helping Schitt’s Creek become an Emmy-winning smash.

“We recognize where we’re coming from. We’re the underdogs competing against Titans. But ultimately what we’re striving for is to have everyone stop writing big four networks and start writing big five network. We know it’s going to take some time, but that’s the goal,” he said at the top of his TCA press tour presentation.

Sitting down with Deadline, former Pop TV boss Schwartz, and his boss, The CW President Dennis Miller, talked about exactly how they’re trying to do that in the...

Canada is the nation that brought Schitt’s Creek, Run the Burbs and Letterkenny into the world, but it has been a rough period for a country that peered over the border last year and watched the worst U.S. strike action for a generation.

Talks between the Canadian Media Producers Association (Cmpa) and the Writers Guild of Canada (Wgc) over a new Independent Production Agreement (Ipa) have resumed, amid tensions around falling fees, mini-rooms and AI, and we have spoken to multiple connected sources to assess the state of play.

Exclusive: Canadian comedy Run the Burbs has been picked up by Hulu for its second window in the U.S.

Fifth Season struck the deal with the streamer for the comedy from Kim’s Convenience star Andrew Phung, with the first two seasons set to drop on Hulu on New Year’s Eve, a few days before the third launches on Canada’s CBC.

Produced by Pier 21 Films, Run the Burbs stars Phung at the center of a Vietnamese/South Asian-Canadian family. He plays a stay-at-home dad with an entrepreneur wife and two kids, who each take a different approach to living life to the fullest in the suburbs, changing the way the audience thinks about family values and suburban life. Alongside Phung, the series stars a number of established and emerging comedians including YouTuber Julie Nolke, radio host Ali Hassan and Baroness von Sketch Show co-creator and star Aurora Browne.

This is something we don’t see often — reruns of an ongoing broadcast series airing concurrently on another broadcast network in primetime. Under a deal with Lionsgate, the CW has acquired the five existing seasons of ABC’s comedy series The Conners. Back-to-back repeats of the Roseanne spinoff will air Thursdays 8:30 Pm – 9:30 Pm, flanked by original episodes of Canadian comedy imports Son of a Critch at 8 Pm and Children Ruin Everything at 9:30 Pm.

The Conners, which airs Wednesdays on ABC, will begin its CW run Jan. 4 at 8:30 Pm with the series’ first two episodes, “Keep On Truckin'” and “Tangled Up In Blue”. In addition to airing in the Thursday slot, the sitcom starring John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson, will also be deployed elsewhere on the schedule when needed, including on Sunday, Jan.7, behind a broadcast of the Jennifer Lopez starrer The Wedding Planner.

Jason Priestley has boarded upcoming CBC drama Wild Cards, as the Canadian network unveils its winter slate.

It will debut at 8 pm January 17 on The CW in the U.S. followed by Family Law at 9 pm on the network. Priestley’s recent projects include Eastsiders creator Kit Williamson’s Ctrl Alt Del movie and Viaplay’s Börje – The Journey of a Legend.

Set in Vancouver, Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of Ellis (Grey’s Anatomy‘s Giacomo Gianniotti), a gruff, sardonic cop and Max (Riverdale‘s Vanessa Morgan), a spirited, clever con woman. It has already been picked up by The CW in the States for next year.

The CW continues to cancel series, including Run the Burbs and Everyone Else Burns, limiting its scripted show catalog. Successful shows like Supernatural, the Arrowverse, and Riverdale have helped The CW stay alive despite streaming competition. The network needs to find new original shows that follow successful models to sustain its brand identity.

The crisis continues on The CW. The network has canceled a long list of series in recent months, increasingly limiting its scripted show catalog, and they continue to do so with two new victims, Run the Burbs and Everyone Else Burns.

Run the Burbs premiered in 2022 on the Canadian network CBC Television, and was acquired by The CW in July 2023. The plot centers on a family living in the suburbs of the fictional town of Rockridge, and they seek to give a new spin to their lives, trying extremely new things. The show was created by Scott Townend and Andrew Phung,...

The CW has decided to pull two shows, Run the Burbs and Everyone Else Burns, from its upcoming schedule. Run the Burbs is a Canadian sitcom about a Vietnamese South Asian family in the Canadian suburbs, while Everyone Else Burns is a British show about a devout puritanical family. This decision comes shortly after Everyone Else Burns season 2 was renewed by Channel 4 and ordered by The CW.

The CW has pulled Run the Burbs and Everyone Else Burns from its schedule. The network previously acquired both shows from international studios. Run the Burbs is a Canadian sitcom starring and co-created by Kim's Convenience star Andrew Phung, following a Vietnamese South Asian family in the Canadian suburbs. Everyone Else Burns is a British show from Channel 4 about a devout puritanical family.

Following the end of the 2023 actors strike, many networks have been announcing their midseason schedules, including new premieres and cancellations.

Updated to clarify both series have moved to the CW app and cwtv.com: Canadian comedy Run The Burbs and British sitcom Everyone Else Burns have both been pulled from The CW schedule, the network has confirmed. Both are still available on The CW app and cwtv.com

They’ll be replaced for now on linear with reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and The Great American Joke Off.

The news of Everyone Else Burns comes just a few weeks after The CW ordered a second season of the critically acclaimed apocalyptic family comedy following Channel 4’s renewal of the UK series in August.

They are the most recent acquisitions to be pulled from the network, following Australian series Bump and Barons, which were pulled halfway through Seasons 2 and 1, respectively. Down to Earth With Zac Efron and Fantastic Friends, starring James and Oliver Phelps, were canceled after two episodes each.

Two more acquired series have gotten the chop at The CW.

Canadian sitcom Run the Burbs and British comedy Everyone Else Burns have both been pulled from the network’s Thursday lineup, TVLine has confirmed. Through at least Nov. 30, they’ve been replaced by reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and The Great American Joke Off.
