Of Kings and Prophets - Undergoing Retooling and Casting Changes; Episode Order Reduced

Jun 2, 2015

Share on Reddit

Thanks to Jovan and darkness for the heads up.
Biblical saga Of Kings and Prophets is set to undergo retooling, including casting changes In another setback for the costume drama, I hear its order has been cut from 13 to 10 episodes. Getting recast is the role of Joab, played in the pilot by Tomer Kapon, with another possible change for the role of Merav, played by Alex McGregor.

Of Kings and Prophets received mixed reactions at the upfront, and it was a late delivery, with the completed pilot not screened before the network set its fall 2015 schedule. ABC had had big plans for the costume drama, which hired a showrunner and set up a writers room with an eye toward a series order ahead of the network’s May pickups, but the network brass appear to be cooling off on the show whose fate is in limbo.

  1. ABC also cut the episode order? This show is a goner. Probably won't even make it to the air.

  2. Just scrap it.Why waste enough more money.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Poor? It looked awful from the trailer and I was really dreading watching the pilot. Thankfully ABC saved us from that misery by not releasing the original pilot screener, it must have been really bad. That's why you don't order a show before even watching the pilot.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Do they just recast or reboot the whole script too?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Cancel it and Order kingmakers to series!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Deadline previously said that it was being retooled, but they have removed that from the article and are now only mentioning the casting changes.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I did not mean it like that :D I am practically laughing at the show

    ReplyDelete
  8. Nope,I checked it says its going through retooling.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Lets hope they retool the show so it could be something at least decent.

    ReplyDelete
  10. The just added that, wasn't there when I posted the article.

    ReplyDelete
  11. The show's going to get cancelled after the 10 episode anyway. Why bother?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Looks like it was that horrible they needed to make a big move like this.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Its rumored on twitter that Beyond The Tank gets the Tuesday slot.

    ReplyDelete
  14. They should just air it as a limited series when the regular shows are on winter break. It's only 10 episodes. This is why I don't trust ABC. They have no idea what they are doing.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Would make sense since they have 7 more episodes for season 1 and have already renewed it. They can't have a new show ready this early and no other show would be compatible with AoS.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I predict it will be cancelled in the next few weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wouldn't ABC rather get rid of the low rated comedies between 8pm and 9pm, move Shark Tank to 8pm and place Beyond The Tank at 9pm. Both shows get higher ratings than Last Man Standing and there's no point putting another low rated comedy at 8:30pm.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I hope it does. If so, I hope ABC orders Kingmakers or Broad Squad to series to replace it.

    ReplyDelete
  19. They have 7 episodes from season 1 and unknown episodes order for season 2 of BTT. Could place it on both nights.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I saw on Season Zero that Broad Squad could be redeveloped for the next season, Kingmakers sadly looks dead.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Doubt that will happen though. They don't really need any more shows.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Cancel it already and save yourself the embarrassment-Jeez!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Far to optimistic. No way that happens.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Who would like kingmakers to be Picked up and this cancelled. Upvote my comment

    ReplyDelete
  25. This is a goner

    ReplyDelete
  26. Just finish it off already

    ReplyDelete
  27. If the rumor is true, then Beyond The Tank will air in the fall on tuesdays at 10 and Wicked City will take over mid-season. Quantico will air in the fall on sundays at 10 and The Family will take over mid-season.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I wasn't really happy with the trailer, but still liked the cast and Maisie was still there.
    Hoping this will push her back to TO.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Why even order this one to series if the pilot was so bad?ABC isn't making any sense to me!

    ReplyDelete
  30. This Type of show just does not work on Network TV, let alone ABC

    ReplyDelete
  31. Good, the trailer was awful, the retooling may actually set it on track... (well, I said "may")

    ReplyDelete
  32. The trailer wasn't good, I agree.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yep, it was actually the only ABC drama pilot I wouldnt watch because of that boring trailer.

    ReplyDelete
  34. This one ranks among one of the worst trailers this season IMO-
    Others-Angel from Hell,Rush Hour,Rosewood,Uncle Ben,Dr.Ken & Code Black.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What is Uncle Ben? If you are talking about Uncle buck it wasnt hated like the rest of these

    ReplyDelete
  36. Like the above article said, ABC didn't even watch the finished pilot but I had high hopes for it.
    I passed on the (potential) show when it got a pilot order and I read the logline. Biblical shows are big no for me..

    ReplyDelete
  37. Those 100% were the worst trailers, especially Dr. Ken.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We'll need a better word than "terrible" or "awful" to describe how bad it was.
    Seriously, haven't watched such a bad trailer in a long time

    ReplyDelete
  39. Don't even get me started on Rosewood. That trailer was just awful!!! Looked like one of those cheap low quality Action movies

    ReplyDelete
  40. FOX is trying so hard to find a replacement for Bones

    ReplyDelete
  41. Better than Of Kings and Prophets, but yeah. It looked so generic and boring

    ReplyDelete
  42. Same here.Big NO for Biblical shows.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It was so terrible that it was frightening. Maybe like that?

    ReplyDelete
  44. It'll just be another boring procedural and will probaby get cancelled after a few episodes. By placing the show at 8pm on a Wednesday with no lead-in, it shows that FOX gave it a pitty order.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It won't, the concept sounds dull and boring. They can't save this show.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It was so terrible I plucked my eyes out

    ReplyDelete
  47. neat, now let's get Maisie back to TO!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Rush hour.It was worse.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well yeah but i actually liked the title and was expecting something cool and then i saw THAT

    ReplyDelete
  50. I thought Rush Hour, Angel from Hell and Code Black were actually better than the trailers.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Or People are talking :D

    ReplyDelete
  52. Considering how awful Abc saw that it was I don't even know how it was picked up.

    ReplyDelete
  53. But maybe they can do something vaguely passable?
    I don't know, the trailer was so awful that I think it is impossible to make it worse, the only way possible would be up. But, to be honest, they should have picked something else, ANYTHING else

    ReplyDelete
  54. That would be great. I need that Revenge void foiled

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh god.How could i forget that one.It was beyond awful!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Jap! I wonder how it will premiere. If it does premiere

    ReplyDelete
  57. Per EW, the show imploded before ABC even screened it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I really hope she is the one to get recast. ^^
    We need a Bekah in the cast.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I actually kind of repressed it just for how bad it was.
    There have been some really frightening trailers lately, pretty bad

    ReplyDelete
  60. Pulled after 3-4 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I was about to pour acid in my eyes after all these trailers.I mean,they can't be that clueless,can they?!?

    ReplyDelete
  62. IKR. My god. Just embarrasssing

    ReplyDelete
  63. You meant 1 episode. Right?

    ReplyDelete
  64. I wonder why they greenlight these stuff?
    When was the last time that a truly awful TV show got beyond season 2? Two and a Half Men? And that show started on 2003.


    Times are different now, reality aside, people aren't going to start watching crap all of the sudden

    ReplyDelete
  65. The trailer actually convinced me i wouldn't watch it even if my life depends on it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Here are some other words lets see it was distressingly bad, atrocious, horrific and dreadful.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Nah.They are delusional.They'll try to be denial for a couple more episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Dreadful is out since it brings up to mind "Penny Dreadful" and there cannot be any positive assosiations with the trailer

    ReplyDelete
  69. As a doctor,i can say safely that any person who thought greenlighting PAT would be a good idea is mentally unstable for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Show is dead. How did this show get picked up?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Does anyone think that if ABC saw these comments about the show that they would cancel it since no-one seems to like it.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Let us relive the moment. LOL :D

    https://youtu.be/hOKFvQHbj04

    ReplyDelete
  73. I actually pretty much made a promise with myself to watch every show pilot provided, no matter how awful I think the trailer is, and I don't really regret watching the 3 show pilots I mentioned above. That plan on continuing to watch any of those show when the premiere, tho.

    ReplyDelete
  74. It's a mystery, especially when you had pilots like Kingmakers which was completely tossed to one side.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I can't watch it again!

    ReplyDelete
  76. So true.Why is it that we can sense a disaster from miles away and the network execs have no freakin' clue?!?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Like the article said, ABC had high hopes for the show and didn't even screen the pilot when the ordered it. If they had, I don;t think they would have ordered it.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I'm starting to believe they have monkeys picking up pilots and the writers of these shows actually hire ghost writers who are actually dogs

    ReplyDelete
  79. I think we should be the executives.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Then dreadful will be replaced with hideous

    ReplyDelete
  81. It does look like a crappy version of Game of Thrones.

    ReplyDelete
  82. MY EYES! YOU JUST THREW ACID TO MY EYES!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Come on,Dogs & Monkeys are far more intelligent.Don't discredit them like this!

    ReplyDelete
  84. That is beyond incompetence on their part IMO. And very irresponsible to. And they gave it a fall slot nonetheless!

    ReplyDelete
  85. HAHA, you are on fire today.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Oh god its hideous! get it out of my face!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Hit it right on the mark.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I didn't even watch more than 30 seconds when it was released so why would I now? lol

    ReplyDelete
  89. I found myself firing all cylinders!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Can't believe I watched 36 seconds of it. I'm never getting those back

    ReplyDelete
  91. Delete this!I can't stand the thumbnail attached to it,let alone play it again!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  92. They didn't even... oh my god, how did they think that was a good idea?

    ReplyDelete
  93. hahahahah, who would have thought I would laugh because of OKAP.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Spiderman!!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Please help us all by deleting this. I'm pretty sure all of us are going to go insane any second.

    ReplyDelete
  96. That is being too generous :D

    ReplyDelete
  97. Have that laugh now coz all that would dry up when PAT makes it on air!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Alright, alright. Sloaths pickup the shows on May because they wouldn't move any other time and cats, with their superior hatred towards humanity, write the script

    ReplyDelete
  99. You guys make me laugh. Gosh, I love this Community!!!

    ReplyDelete
  100. What is your specialty, BTW?

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'm too nice of a person :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. I heard this was bad, but after watching 36 seconds, it's just disgusting.

    ReplyDelete
  103. ABC will when they cancel it and pretend it never existed, lol

    ReplyDelete
  104. I could Post the one from people are talking too! Should I? XD

    ReplyDelete
  105. That version would surely be better than this turd.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I am betting this doesnt make it to series

    ReplyDelete
  107. But will it be too late for us?

    ReplyDelete
  108. I think this is enough cruelty for one day

    ReplyDelete
  109. Besides, I already lost my eyes, I don't want to lose my soul

    ReplyDelete
  110. I can't treat so many patients undergoing temporary insanity at once.have mercy!

    ReplyDelete
  111. This is just cruel and unusual punishment. They should rot in jail for making this.

    ReplyDelete
  112. That would be my bet too!

    ReplyDelete
  113. It'll get pushed to summer and then ABC will redevelop it for fall, and then, once they found out there is no way to make it work, they'll kill it

    ReplyDelete
  114. https://youtu.be/LqAwfHzexyM

    I promised :) ×D

    ReplyDelete
  115. I hope that ABC looks at these comments and cancels this and picks up the Kingmakers instead. I can guarantee no matte how many times they try to reboot it this show isn't even going to crack a 1 in its premiere.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Thank God I have not seen 1 second of Pat. I really don't want to die.

    ReplyDelete
  117. General Medicine.

    ReplyDelete
  118. OK, I think you are going to make some people here becoming crazy. Sry, I just cant...

    ReplyDelete
  119. So now I have no eyes and no soul.
    I guess all that's left for me is to become a dark version of Daredevil and kill of those involved on these projects.... though that would actually make me a hero, so remove the "dark version". I'm going to be Daredevil!

    ReplyDelete
  120. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    ReplyDelete
  121. Come on curiosity, don't press play!

    ReplyDelete
  122. OMFG, I am laughing so hard at this

    ReplyDelete
  125. 😂😂😂

    ReplyDelete
  126. HAHAH, Im so watching this show OMG!

    ReplyDelete
  127. ABC is kind of alergic to SpoilerTV for some insane reason; they are by far the network that has pushed the site aside the most. All the others send screeners, and even include us while making promos, but ABC just doesn't. Which just shows how insane they are

    ReplyDelete
  128. WTF?!?
    HAHAHAHAHA!!!

    ReplyDelete
  129. But thankfully we managed to get screeners this year.

    ReplyDelete
  130. At least ABC sent screenings this year.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Thats a shame cause this site is just fantastic and the best place to indicate the viewers interests.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I so wish Kingmakers were picked up instead.It can't be worse than this,can it?

    ReplyDelete
  133. Galavant's the best

    ReplyDelete
  134. On the brightside I might just stick with abc all night Sunday's !!

    ReplyDelete
  135. That's up to debate.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I'll show up in season 3, but it's top secret, so mum's the word!

    ReplyDelete
  137. That is true.What is happening with ABC lately?

    ReplyDelete
  138. Apparently, it imploded before ABC even got to screen it.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I can't anymore😂😂 you guys made my evening! I love spoilertv and the whole Community!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  140. I wish. Instead they are letting THIS air

    ReplyDelete
  141. Maybe they finally treated their allergy this year.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Thank you too for making me laugh!

    ReplyDelete
  143. It will never make it to air lol

    ReplyDelete
  144. OUAT & Quantico are a sure thing, now if just Blood and Oil was squeezed out and they brough The Family at 9, that would be a lineup for me

    ReplyDelete
  145. Oh yeah that's right!

    ReplyDelete
  146. or The Advocate

    ReplyDelete
  147. Hey,we all got cheered up.That's something worth having!

    ReplyDelete
  148. And if it does, biggest surprise of the year. Right?

    ReplyDelete
  149. Why don't we call it: Of AMERICAN kings and prophets. Then it would flop anyway

    ReplyDelete
  150. Well this just ensures that I'm gonna watch the pilot whenever it finally does air, ha.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Nothing's worse than that. They ordered People Are Talking and not Strange Calls? Screw you NBC.

    ReplyDelete
  152. It makes me sad because Odyssey's pilot was pretty outstanding... this one, on the other hand, deserves the flop

    ReplyDelete
  153. Seriously that prefix is such a curse.LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I wish that ABC would move Quantico to 9pm and Blood and Oil to 10pm.

    ReplyDelete
  155. AO is a fine show, but everyone knew it was going to flop.

    ReplyDelete
  156. 2019 at the earliest

    ReplyDelete
  157. I wanted that too.Made more sense to me!

    ReplyDelete
  158. That would be great because the show's set in Israel.

    ReplyDelete
  159. I know :( but this deserves it!

    ReplyDelete
  160. Me too. I need to watch how awful it is.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I think Blood and Oil has potential to be good. I will check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  162. With promotion and hype, Quantico could do decent. I don't really believe too much in death slots , you just need good shows

    ReplyDelete
  163. Ahahahahah I love this!!!

    ReplyDelete
  164. Why couldn't they just keep the title BOOM?

    ReplyDelete
  165. I'm looking forward to Blood and Oil and Quantico, but if I had to choose I would go with Quantico.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Eh, the trailer did nothing for me. I know I shouldn't judge based on the trailer only, but I honestly didn't feel appealed to watch it. It would need amazing reviews for me to be curious to check it out

    ReplyDelete
  167. By then people's tastes will have changed

    ReplyDelete
  168. There's going to be a show on FOX soon that's already called Boom.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Yes me too, Quantico is one of the shows I am looking forward to the most. Blood and Oil merely gets a pilot check, it is quite different.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I was impressed with The Family most among ABC shows.

    ReplyDelete
  171. The thing is that I have no clue from the trailer (nor do I think I will get it from the pilot) what the weekly show will look like, so I think it is really hard to say at this point

    ReplyDelete
  172. I don't know about that. Odyssey had a great pilot and it died because of that slot.

    ReplyDelete
  173. I wish that title would stay.

    ReplyDelete
  174. 100% agree.It bored me.

    ReplyDelete
  175. It was a pretty good pilot, definitely not great.

    ReplyDelete
  176. They should've went for the shipper name right away BlOil. ^^

    Those ABC test audience gets more questionable by year.

    ReplyDelete
  177. I've pretty much given up with NBC.

    ReplyDelete
  178. I think there could be shows that could reverse the luck of the slots. I mean, Empire came out of nowhere and crowned itself after Red Band Society flopped there, so it could happen.
    But historically speaking, it's a hard timeslot, an uphill battle
