Network Update from Fox, NBC and My Network TV

Brad Garrett is coming back to a sitcom. This time on Fox. According to B&C, Fox has picked up 13 episodes of the Brad Garrett comedy ‘Til Death and the political thriller Vanished for next season. ‘Til Death, from Sony Pictures Television, stars Garrett and Joely Fisher as a long-married couple who live next door to newlyweds Eddie Kaye Thomas and Kat Foster. It is produced by Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith. Vanished, from 20th Century Fox Television, stars Rebecca Gayheart and Ming Na in a drama about a senator’s wife disappearing. It is produced by Josh Berman, Paul Redford and Mimi Leder.

And if you thought one of NBC's three Law & Order series (um like Criminal Intent) would be canceled for next season, you were wrong. NBC has renewed all three shows under the Law & Order umbrella for next season. Law & Order returns for a 17th season in the fall, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit comes back for season eight, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent will return for a sixth season. While all three shows are from Dick Wolf, NBC did not announce plans for Wolf’s other show on the network, the rookie Conviction, which is not part of the Law & Order franchise. Don't expect that to return.

My Network TV has added three new prime time dramas strips based on Spanish-language telenovelas to its roster, bringing the tally of those announced so far to five. It plans to produce four cycles of the 13-week dramas next season, with eight total slated. The three new series in development are A Dangerous Love, Watch Over Me and Art of Betrayal. No decision has been made yet if they will air under the Desire or Secret Obsessions umbrella name, which both begin Sept. 5. Former movie star Sean Young, along with actresses Maria Conchita Alonso and Dayanara Torres are among the stars that will star.
