NBC Cancels Two Series and Picks Two Up For Full Seasons

NBC was the first to set up the
chopping block with their period drama The Playboy Club having
the dubious honor of being the first cancellation of the season. The
low-rated network also gave walking papers to Free Agents,
while giving full season orders to two of their other freshman
comedies, Up All Night and Whitney.

After a poor premiere and a steady
decline in ratings since then, The Playboy Club getting the ax
wasn’t unexpected. NBC’s equally under-performing new drama Prime
Suspect
will fill the gap on Mondays until the premiere of Rock
Center with Brian Williams
on
October 31.
The cancellation of Free Agents
was also inevitable, after for the second week in a row it failed to
surpass a 1.0 rating in the key demo. Reruns of NBC’s surviving
comedy Whitney will air in its place on Wednesdays; which is
where the series will likely end up when 30 Rock returns
midseason.

The Walking Dead Web-Series to Premiere October 3rd

While its October 16th premiere is still over two weeks away, fans of The Walking Dead will have an earlier opportunity to see new material from the zombie drama, as a web-series related to the show is set to premiere on amctv.com on October 3rd.

The web-series is touted as a prequel to the show, focusing on Hannah (Lilli Birdsell), known to fans as “Bicycle Girl,” the legless zombie that Rick Grimes encountered shortly after first waking up in the hospital during the show’s pilot episode. Her name is, of course, drawn from her vicinity to the bicycle that Rick took, since lacking any legs, she wasn’t doing much riding herself. Per AMC, “Fans will learn about Hannah’s life before the apocalypse, her struggle to survive and protect her family as the world begins to fall apart, and her ultimate demise into zombie-hood.”

Described as a private detective/prison
drama, details are thin on the potential new series Furlough.

a series.

NBC Gives Pilot Production Commitment to J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke Project

Deadline had the exclusive on the new
project from the creative minds behind Lost (one
of them anyway)
and Supernatural. Not much is known
about Revolution at this point, as Abrams is always tight
lipped on his new series, but what is known is that the script penned
by Kripke has been given a pilot production commitment by NBC. The
action adventure thriller will be produced by Bad Robot and Warner
Bros.

With all the plates he is already

whether Revolution is picked up or not. Fringe is
moving into its fourth season, just after Person of Interest,
one of the new series from his production company, recently
premiered, and Alcatraz is set to start as a midseason
replacement early next year. Abrams is also maintaining a presence
