SitcomsOnline Digest: HBO Max Acquires BBC Library; Loretta Devine to Recur on black-ish

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about more content for the HBO Now streaming service, news of a show that won't be rebooted, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

If you're a fan of British shows, HBO Max will have several of those when it launches as they will be the exclusive home for the BBC library, including the original UK version of The Office. (Entertainment Weekly)
Here's something that actually won't be rebooted: Dawson's Creek. (Entertainment Weekly)
When One Day at a Time moves from Netflix to Pop, it'll have one other change that comes naturally with basic cable TV: episodes will be shorter than they were on Netflix, at 21 minutes as opposed to the 26-28 minute length of the Netflix episodes. (Deadline)
Loretta Devine has landed a recurring role on black-ish. (Deadline)
Baskets will be coming to an end. (SitcomsOnline)
