Good Cop/Bad Cop, which starred Leighton Meester and Luke Cook as polar opposite siblings who work for their father, the sheriff, as cops in a small town, was not picked up for a second season by Stan in Australia and The CW in the States.
Luke Cook, who played the brother, broke the news on social media. After announcing the cancellation, he said, “I loved making that show. I loved making friends with everybody on that show, the cast and crew, and John [Quaintance], who wrote the show. They’re all my great friends. So I’m sad we won’t get to do it again.” Then he added, “Thank you to everyone who watched the show.”
The police procedural was recently picked up by Netflix, and I was hoping it was the boost it needed to get another season. But it was not.
If you have not seen it, you should check it out on the streamer. It is light-hearted fun that deserves more episodes.
Wild Cards is back for a new season tonight at 8p on The CW, and what a season it is going to be.
When the show left off, Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) took a much-needed break from his job as a detective after finally finding out who killed his brother and why. He decided to take his houseboat out for a sail and see where it would take him.
While Max (Vanessa Morgan) said goodbye to him, she said hello to her dead mother. However, they didn’t show us who she was until tonight.
Where was her mom, Vivienne (Tamara Taylor)? Why did she suddenly come back? What does she need from her and her dad, George (Jason Priestley)? As if I am going to tell you that.
I will tell you the show picks up weeks after the season finale, and Ellis is back from vacation. He is rested and ready to get back to solving murders with Max.
She is not the only one who is happy. Chief Li (Terry Chen), Simmons (Michael Xavier), and Yates (Amy Goodmurphy) are happy to see him, too, because the workload has been busy since he went away.
Max and Ellis’ first case this season deals with a pool player who is found dead. Why was he killed, and who did it? You will have to tune in to find out.
That and to see what this season’s heist is going to be. Max might consult for the police, but she will always be a con artist on the lookout for her next payday with her dad and Ricky (Fletcher Donovan).
If you haven’t watched Wild Cards, you can watch it for free on The CW app. It is a lighter police procedural than what we get in the States. That is why I love it so much! We get the murder of the week without all the violence.
Remember when The CW used to air scripted programming five nights a week? Well, now it is down to one scripted show come January. And that one show is Wild Cards, which is imported from Canada. How sad is that? Even though it is an enjoyable series.
The Savanah Bananas have made a name for themselves on social media. And next month, they are going from the smaller screen to the small screen.
The baseball team that live up to their name, in a good way, will make its broadcast TV debut on The CW next month.
“Banana Ball on The CW is a no-brainer,” said Jesse Cole, founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas. “After seeing their recent commitment to sports, we knew this could be a great partnership. With the speed and entertainment of Banana Ball, we look forward to creating new fans together in the years to come.”
Their first game will air on July 27th, and we will watch them play, dance, and make us enjoy baseball all over again in front of a sold-out crowd in Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park.
If you are unfamiliar with them, you can discover them on all the social media apps. They are just pure joy, and I am so happy they are finally getting the exposure they deserve.
Three years ago, Nexstar bought controlling rights of The CW and cancelled almost all of their scripted shows. One of the shows that survived the bloodbath was All American. In fact, it is the last show standing.
However, it will not be standing for much longer because The CW announced today that it will be back for an eighth and final season. Thus, ending the original CW’s scripted run.
Commenting on the long-running series ALL AMERICAN executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll said, “How do I condense into just a few words what would be the longest love letter to this show, the fans, the cast, crew, staff, and producers. My heart is so filled with love and gratitude for everyone who helped bring ALL AMERICAN to life and kept it going for its historic run. It is so hard to say goodbye to the thing that you love, but we are so excited we get to do it in the way we envisioned with this final season. Thank you to Brad Schwartz, Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, and Greg Berlanti for supporting our vision. Thank you to the many executives at Warner Bros Discovery, CW and Berlanti Productions who have been a supportive part of the ALL AMERICAN huddle since day one. Thank you to our OG and new generation cast members, our writers, crew and full staff for raising the bar every episode. Thank you to Spencer Paysinger, whose life inspired this epic journey. And thank you to everyone who not only watched the show, but took Spencer James’s mantra of ‘Dream Big. Stay Real’ to heart and were inspired to chase their seemingly impossible dreams. We see you. We salute you. Here’s to leaving it all on the field one last time.”
