Last year, there was a lot of anger over several of the shows that were cancelled and most of them got picked up by someone else (Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Timeless by NBC, Designated Survivor and Lucier by Netflix). This season, there was not as much uproar about the shows that got the axe except for Whiskey Cavalier, The Kids Are All Right and Speechless (by me). Well, one of them is in talks to come back and it is the spy thriller, Whiskey Cavalier.
According to TVLine, there is a 50/50 chance it will be back sometime next year. Deadline adds that the renewal could come as early as today because there is a lot of interest in the show’s leads, Scott Foley and Lauren Cohan. Plus, it is expensive to keep the sets up in Prague where the show films.
If it gets picked up, it will be the third time a show by Bill Lawrence was cancelled and then saved. NBC killed Scrubs, so ABC brought it back to life. Then ABC pulled the plug on Cougar Town and TBS plugged it back in. Hopefully, the third time will be the charm for Lawrence. When are the networks going to learn to stay with him because his shows have a cult following? I have downed his Kool-Aid and it is mighty addictive.
