Good morning, everyone! Today’s post is going to be brief, as I am dealing with the firehose of news that is the Upfronts. Today is going to be particularly hard with NBC and Fox both presenting their new schedules today. To save my sanity, I’m consolidating all the renewal and cancellation news on these network upfront posts that I will be updating all week:
ABC
CBS
Fox
NBC
The CW
The biggest non-network news is that Project Runway has been saved by Bravo, returning to the network where it all began. I was going to be deeply disappointed if Project Runway became another casualty of that pig Weinstein.
Quantico is moving to Friday nights.
Here’s a petition to save Wayward Sisters.
Clayne Crawford fans are NOT HAPPY. Meanwhile, Crawford is keeping it classy.
The ABC pilot that Lauren Cohan stars in was picked up, making her relationship to The Walking Dead a lot more complicated. She will appear at least in the first half of the season. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
Game of Thrones shooting spoilers.
