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!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • With nobody knowing when the "fall season" will begin, it seems that pilot season is being extended indefinitely. (Deadline)
  • Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist has gotten a renewal for a second season at NBC. (Deadline)  
  • We mentioned last week that Live PD and Cops had been temporarily pulled from their respective networks, and this week we're learning both have been cancelled, putting an end to the police chase reality show genre (for now, anyway). (WBUR) 
  • While Paramount Network has outright pulled Cops, some local stations as well as WGN America are still airing the show. However, many of those stations (including WGN America, whose broadcasting rights to the series expire at the end of this month) are looking for replacements. (Deadline)
  • Amazon has picked up the rights to the former Pop TV series Flack, and will begin producing new episodes. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • HBO has given some details about their Perry Mason series that is set to debut in a little over a week. (SitcomsOnline) 

WEEKLY PLANNER (JUNE 13 - JUNE 19)

  • Love, Victor premieres Wednesday on Hulu.
  • Season 2 of Mr. Iglesias debuts Wednesday on Netflix.
  • Cozi has some special Leslie Jordan episodes of Will & Grace airing each weeknight at 1 AM next week.
  • Decades has a binge of The Monkees this weekend.
