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.

LOL! Poor show
ReplyDeleteABC also cut the episode order? This show is a goner. Probably won't even make it to the air.
ReplyDeleteJust scrap it.Why waste enough more money.
ReplyDeletePoor? 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.
ReplyDeleteDo they just recast or reboot the whole script too?
ReplyDeleteCancel it and Order kingmakers to series!
ReplyDeleteDeadline previously said that it was being retooled, but they have removed that from the article and are now only mentioning the casting changes.
ReplyDeleteI did not mean it like that :D I am practically laughing at the show
ReplyDeleteNope,I checked it says its going through retooling.
ReplyDeleteLets hope they retool the show so it could be something at least decent.
ReplyDeleteThe just added that, wasn't there when I posted the article.
ReplyDeleteThe show's going to get cancelled after the 10 episode anyway. Why bother?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was that horrible they needed to make a big move like this.
ReplyDeleteIts rumored on twitter that Beyond The Tank gets the Tuesday slot.
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
ReplyDeleteWould 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.
ReplyDeleteI predict it will be cancelled in the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteWouldn'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.
ReplyDeleteI hope it does. If so, I hope ABC orders Kingmakers or Broad Squad to series to replace it.
ReplyDeleteThey have 7 episodes from season 1 and unknown episodes order for season 2 of BTT. Could place it on both nights.
ReplyDeleteI saw on Season Zero that Broad Squad could be redeveloped for the next season, Kingmakers sadly looks dead.
ReplyDeleteDoubt that will happen though. They don't really need any more shows.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!!@
ReplyDeleteCancel it already and save yourself the embarrassment-Jeez!
ReplyDeleteFar to optimistic. No way that happens.
ReplyDeleteWho would like kingmakers to be Picked up and this cancelled. Upvote my comment
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a goner
ReplyDeleteAnd money.
ReplyDeleteJust finish it off already
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really happy with the trailer, but still liked the cast and Maisie was still there.
ReplyDeleteHoping this will push her back to TO.
Why even order this one to series if the pilot was so bad?ABC isn't making any sense to me!
ReplyDeleteThis Type of show just does not work on Network TV, let alone ABC
ReplyDeleteGood, the trailer was awful, the retooling may actually set it on track... (well, I said "may")
ReplyDeleteThe trailer wasn't good, I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt was terrible
ReplyDeleteYep, it was actually the only ABC drama pilot I wouldnt watch because of that boring trailer.
ReplyDeleteThis one ranks among one of the worst trailers this season IMO-
ReplyDeleteOthers-Angel from Hell,Rush Hour,Rosewood,Uncle Ben,Dr.Ken & Code Black.
What is Uncle Ben? If you are talking about Uncle buck it wasnt hated like the rest of these
ReplyDeleteLike the above article said, ABC didn't even watch the finished pilot but I had high hopes for it.
ReplyDeleteI passed on the (potential) show when it got a pilot order and I read the logline. Biblical shows are big no for me..
Those 100% were the worst trailers, especially Dr. Ken.
ReplyDeleteWe'll need a better word than "terrible" or "awful" to describe how bad it was.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, haven't watched such a bad trailer in a long time
EDITED.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on Rosewood. That trailer was just awful!!! Looked like one of those cheap low quality Action movies
ReplyDeleteFOX is trying so hard to find a replacement for Bones
ReplyDeleteBetter than Of Kings and Prophets, but yeah. It looked so generic and boring
ReplyDeleteSame here.Big NO for Biblical shows.
ReplyDeleteIt was so terrible that it was frightening. Maybe like that?
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteIt won't, the concept sounds dull and boring. They can't save this show.
ReplyDeleteIt was so terrible I plucked my eyes out
ReplyDeleteneat, now let's get Maisie back to TO!
ReplyDeleteRush hour.It was worse.
ReplyDeleteWell yeah but i actually liked the title and was expecting something cool and then i saw THAT
ReplyDeleteI thought Rush Hour, Angel from Hell and Code Black were actually better than the trailers.
ReplyDeleteOr People are talking :D
ReplyDeleteConsidering how awful Abc saw that it was I don't even know how it was picked up.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe they can do something vaguely passable?
ReplyDeleteI 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
That would be great. I need that Revenge void foiled
ReplyDeleteOh god.How could i forget that one.It was beyond awful!
ReplyDeleteJap! I wonder how it will premiere. If it does premiere
ReplyDeletePer EW, the show imploded before ABC even screened it.
ReplyDeleteHAHA
ReplyDeleteI really hope she is the one to get recast. ^^
ReplyDeleteWe need a Bekah in the cast.
I actually kind of repressed it just for how bad it was.
ReplyDeleteThere have been some really frightening trailers lately, pretty bad
Pulled after 3-4 episodes.
ReplyDeleteI was about to pour acid in my eyes after all these trailers.I mean,they can't be that clueless,can they?!?
ReplyDeleteIKR. My god. Just embarrasssing
ReplyDeleteYou meant 1 episode. Right?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they greenlight these stuff?
ReplyDeleteWhen 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
The trailer actually convinced me i wouldn't watch it even if my life depends on it.
ReplyDeleteHere are some other words lets see it was distressingly bad, atrocious, horrific and dreadful.
ReplyDeleteNah.They are delusional.They'll try to be denial for a couple more episodes.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteDreadful is out since it brings up to mind "Penny Dreadful" and there cannot be any positive assosiations with the trailer
ReplyDeleteAs a doctor,i can say safely that any person who thought greenlighting PAT would be a good idea is mentally unstable for sure.
ReplyDeleteShow is dead. How did this show get picked up?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think that if ABC saw these comments about the show that they would cancel it since no-one seems to like it.
ReplyDeleteLet us relive the moment. LOL :D
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/hOKFvQHbj04
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.
ReplyDeleteIt's a mystery, especially when you had pilots like Kingmakers which was completely tossed to one side.
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteI can't watch it again!
ReplyDeleteSo true.Why is it that we can sense a disaster from miles away and the network execs have no freakin' clue?!?
ReplyDeleteLike 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to believe they have monkeys picking up pilots and the writers of these shows actually hire ghost writers who are actually dogs
ReplyDeleteI think we should be the executives.
ReplyDeleteThen dreadful will be replaced with hideous
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a crappy version of Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
ReplyDeleteMY EYES! YOU JUST THREW ACID TO MY EYES!
ReplyDeleteCome on,Dogs & Monkeys are far more intelligent.Don't discredit them like this!
ReplyDeleteThat is beyond incompetence on their part IMO. And very irresponsible to. And they gave it a fall slot nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteTrue story.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, you are on fire today.
ReplyDeleteOh god its hideous! get it out of my face!
ReplyDeleteHit it right on the mark.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even watch more than 30 seconds when it was released so why would I now? lol
ReplyDeleteI found myself firing all cylinders!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I watched 36 seconds of it. I'm never getting those back
ReplyDeleteDelete this!I can't stand the thumbnail attached to it,let alone play it again!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey didn't even... oh my god, how did they think that was a good idea?
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeletehahahahah, who would have thought I would laugh because of OKAP.
ReplyDeleteSpiderman!!!
ReplyDeletePlease help us all by deleting this. I'm pretty sure all of us are going to go insane any second.
ReplyDeleteThat is being too generous :D
ReplyDeleteHave that laugh now coz all that would dry up when PAT makes it on air!
ReplyDeleteLol!
ReplyDeleteAlright, 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
ReplyDeleteYou guys make me laugh. Gosh, I love this Community!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your specialty, BTW?
ReplyDeleteI'm too nice of a person :)
ReplyDeleteSo do i!
ReplyDeleteI heard this was bad, but after watching 36 seconds, it's just disgusting.
ReplyDeleteABC will when they cancel it and pretend it never existed, lol
ReplyDeleteI could Post the one from people are talking too! Should I? XD
ReplyDeleteThat version would surely be better than this turd.
ReplyDeleteI am betting this doesnt make it to series
ReplyDeleteBut will it be too late for us?
ReplyDeleteI think this is enough cruelty for one day
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteAMEN
ReplyDeleteBesides, I already lost my eyes, I don't want to lose my soul
ReplyDeleteI can't treat so many patients undergoing temporary insanity at once.have mercy!
ReplyDeleteThis is just cruel and unusual punishment. They should rot in jail for making this.
ReplyDeleteThat would be my bet too!
ReplyDeleteIt'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
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/LqAwfHzexyM
ReplyDeleteI promised :) ×D
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.
ReplyDeleteThank God I have not seen 1 second of Pat. I really don't want to die.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Medicine.
ReplyDeleteOK, I think you are going to make some people here becoming crazy. Sry, I just cant...
ReplyDeleteSo now I have no eyes and no soul.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteCome on curiosity, don't press play!
ReplyDeleteOMFG, I am laughing so hard at this

ReplyDeleteDaretronco, the bro of Daredevil emerges!
ReplyDelete😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteHAHAH, Im so watching this show OMG!
ReplyDeleteABC 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
ReplyDeleteWTF?!?
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That is the greatest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteBut thankfully we managed to get screeners this year.
ReplyDeleteAt least ABC sent screenings this year.
ReplyDeleteYeah! That is awesome :D
ReplyDeleteThats a shame cause this site is just fantastic and the best place to indicate the viewers interests.
ReplyDelete"Alergic" LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI so wish Kingmakers were picked up instead.It can't be worse than this,can it?
ReplyDeleteGalavant's the best
ReplyDeleteOn the brightside I might just stick with abc all night Sunday's !!
ReplyDeleteThat's up to debate.
ReplyDeleteI'll show up in season 3, but it's top secret, so mum's the word!
ReplyDeleteThat is true.What is happening with ABC lately?
ReplyDeleteI see.
ReplyDeleteApparently, it imploded before ABC even got to screen it.
ReplyDeleteI can't anymore😂😂 you guys made my evening! I love spoilertv and the whole Community!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish. Instead they are letting THIS air
ReplyDeleteMaybe they finally treated their allergy this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you too for making me laugh!
ReplyDeleteIt will never make it to air lol
ReplyDeleteOUAT & 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
ReplyDeleteOh yeah that's right!
ReplyDeleteor The Advocate
ReplyDeleteHey,we all got cheered up.That's something worth having!
ReplyDeleteAnd if it does, biggest surprise of the year. Right?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we call it: Of AMERICAN kings and prophets. Then it would flop anyway
ReplyDeleteWell this just ensures that I'm gonna watch the pilot whenever it finally does air, ha.
ReplyDeleteNothing's worse than that. They ordered People Are Talking and not Strange Calls? Screw you NBC.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad because Odyssey's pilot was pretty outstanding... this one, on the other hand, deserves the flop
ReplyDeleteSeriously that prefix is such a curse.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI wish that ABC would move Quantico to 9pm and Blood and Oil to 10pm.
ReplyDeleteAO is a fine show, but everyone knew it was going to flop.
ReplyDelete2019 at the earliest
ReplyDeleteIKR
ReplyDeleteI wanted that too.Made more sense to me!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great because the show's set in Israel.
ReplyDeleteI know :( but this deserves it!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I need to watch how awful it is.
ReplyDeleteLMAO.
ReplyDeleteI think Blood and Oil has potential to be good. I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteWith promotion and hype, Quantico could do decent. I don't really believe too much in death slots , you just need good shows
ReplyDeleteAhahahahah I love this!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't they just keep the title BOOM?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Blood and Oil and Quantico, but if I had to choose I would go with Quantico.
ReplyDeleteEh, 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
ReplyDeleteBy then people's tastes will have changed
ReplyDeleteThere's going to be a show on FOX soon that's already called Boom.
ReplyDeleteYes 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.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with The Family most among ABC shows.
ReplyDeleteThe 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
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that. Odyssey had a great pilot and it died because of that slot.
ReplyDeleteI wish that title would stay.
ReplyDelete100% agree.It bored me.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good pilot, definitely not great.
ReplyDeleteThey should've went for the shipper name right away BlOil. ^^
ReplyDeleteThose ABC test audience gets more questionable by year.
I've pretty much given up with NBC.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBut historically speaking, it's a hard timeslot, an uphill battle
