SitcomsOnline Digest: Paramount+ Sets Bold Plans; No Third Season for Twilight Zone

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing a lot about what is up ahead with CBS All Access (which is soon to be Paramount+) and a bunch of renewals... and one cancellation as well. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • CBS AllAccess will soon be dead, but Paramount+ is waiting right behind it, and they've got a lot planned. (Deadline)
  • Voices have been changing on The Simpsons in recent years due to the issues of white voice actors playing the roles of non-white characters, and Matt Groening has his own opinion on the issue. (Deadline)
  • Seth Meyers has secured at least another four years at NBC. (TVLine)
  • Animaniacs has been renewed for a third season on Hulu. (Deadline)
  • However, there will NOT be a third season for the current incarnation of The Twilight Zone. (Variety)
  • Norman Lear is back into action with two new series, but they won't be on a traditional network or even a very well-known streaming service. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5) 

  • It's a full weekend of Dean Martin Celebrity Roast on Decades (which, as a side note, will actually include the Mr. T one at 8 PM on Saturday)
  • CBS AllAccess morphs into Paramount+ on Thursday, with season premieres of a few of their established hits.
  • The Golden Globe Awards airs Sunday on NBC.
