SitcomsOnline Digest: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Renewed for Season 2; Cops and Live PD Cancelled
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's another slow news week, but we're hearing (a little) more about the fall season that will begin who knows when, learning of the end of Cops and Live PD, and more. Let's get going!

- Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist has gotten a renewal for a second season at NBC. (Deadline)
