Pilot Buzz Update

Apr 26, 2014

Share on Reddit
Thanks to Wolf for the heads up.

This is not encouraging news for bubble drama Almost Human whose renewal chances had dimmed recently — all three Fox drama pilots are very strong contenders for spots on the schedule. That includes Batman prequel Gotham, which just hired John Stephens as executive producer; hip-hop themed Empire, which I hear has impressed advertisers and has been getting high marks for its music; and coming-of-age hospital drama Red Band Society starring Octavia Spencer, which has been a creative darling, with writers vying to staff on it. With two dramas, Backstrom and Hieroglyph, already picked up straight to series and four, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, The Following and Glee, renewed, the network’s drama dance card for next season seems very full.

  1. So, looks like Glee is probably going to get in the way of Almost Human's renewal. That is just ridiculous

  2. Such a shame.Fox executives have gone mad!!

  3. Deadline can't do the math! it doesn't take into consideration that Fox has ordered short seasons (13 episodes) for Hieroglyph, Backstrom, Sleepy Hollow, The Following and Almost Human. Glee's 5th season was already cut short, and it's unlikely Ryan Murphy will go for a full 22 episode season next year now that there's no endgame with his star missing.

  4. Nobody can say anything about the FOX schedule without knowing how many reality hours they will have in the fall, it's impossible.

  5. Glee is apparently getting 24 episodes next season according to Ryan Murphy's comments earlier this month.

  6. I was at the taping for Buzzy's for TBS and it's funny. I hope they decide to pick it up. It seems like a natural fit for them.

  7. Yeah, makes sense, since the order was cut back by 2 eps, those 2 go to season 6!

  8. I have seen on other sources that Almost Human's renewal is apparently "a sure thing" after scheduling a repeat a few days after the Upfront Presentation. However not sure how much I trust this source as they also claim Beauty and the Beast will appear on next season's schedule!

    Yeah. The way Ryan made it sound, it sounds like Fox ordered 44 episodes and put it in writing. So now Fox is stuck with it and can't back out.

  10. I've seen multiple sources saying that FOX is leaning towards Almost Human's renewal. The whole thing about B&TB though I don't buy

  11. Glee should air on the summer

    ReplyDelete
  12. that source sometimes makes mistakes so i wouldn't trust them 100%
    and they change their predictions so fast last week they said dads was dead this week they said likely to be renewed

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yep, it will all come down to how FOX decides to schedule Wednesdays and Thursdays

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hieroglyph and Backstrom could get back orders if they do well enough.

  15. Deadline seems pretty dense, if FOX saw fit to give Gotham a website along with Backstrom, WP and Hieroglyph it seems like they fully intend to honor their series commitment, and most of these are intended for limited runs so FOX could make room for all their new shows and Glee and AH if they wanted, since AH would most likely get a 13 episode order.

  16. Still no word on ABC's Forever pilot. Damn.

  17. @CrimTV--what source are you talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  18. If they have to hiatus Almost Human to showcase these other shows then I can go with that. But I am just not interested in their drama line up, especially Backstorm and 24.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I was really hoping Forever made it to series too. No site is taking it into account... I'm hoping for a last minute surprise...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I don't know if it's the site CrimTV means but TV-Wise (http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2014/04/broadcast-tv-buzz-community-almost-human-the-menatlist-more/) seems to think both Almost Human and BaTB are sure things.

  21. I heard from axn head that batb is on for another season .axn is the netw which airs in india

  22. From what I've read about the new 24, for now it's just a series this summer. It's not a sure thing to contiune on past the 12 episodes they've ordered. everything has made it sound like it's just a limited series.
