Unforgettable seems to be one of those shows that just won’t stay cancelled. Deadline is reporting that A&E is finalizing a deal to save the twice-cancelled series from the grim reaper with a fourth season of 13 episodes.
The series was cancelled (for the second time) the series quite awhile ago but Sony has been working to find a new home for the crime drama.
The contracts with the cast have all expired but at least Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh are expected to be back. No word yet on the other castmembers. Series creators John Bellucci and Ed Redlich (as executive producers) will return along with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly.
Unforgettable did skew older on CBS so the pick-up by A&E does seems like a bit of a surprise since they cancelled Longmire for attracting an older audience. The difference between the two is said to be the licensing fees.
Both are produced by outside studios. Longmire was quite expensive for the cable channel (they supposedly lost money on the deal) while Unforgettable is not. The latter does quite well internationally which has allowed Sony to keep the fees down and profitable.
Sony has a history of fighting to keep cancelled shows alive and has found new homes for Community, Damages, and Drop Dead Diva.
No word on when the fourth season of Unforgettable will be produced but an official announcement is expected once the deal is sealed.
What do you think? Are you glad that Unforgettable is being revived again? Will you be watching season four?
Really good show. Hope this all works out.
Thanks A&E for giving us another season of Unforgettable. sure wish you’d reconsider Longmire, tho. I’m not giving up on CBS. I love 5 of their shows. I watch these channels:
ION, ABC, FOX, CBS, A&E, TNT, USA, ABC FAMILY, & believe it or not I also like to watch DISNEY & BOOM!
A&E dumped Longmire, they are NOT in the picture for it any longer. Netlix has picked Longmire up for new season. That said, I am glad A&E picked up Unforgettable, one of my fave shows. The only CBS show I watch is Blue Bloods. If they dump that, there will no longer be a reason for me to watch CBS. Unforgettable is the only show I will be watching on A&E.
I wish they didn’t cancelled the shows and bring back some of them
Unforgettable is uncancelable BAM? We are back baby. Screw you CBS LOL
This show is quite forgetable. The third cancellation will likely be its last at the end of season 4.
Why watch don’t watch then but stay out of the way of us true fans.
I love Unforgettable! Thank you A&G for sharing another great program for your views.
We will watch maybe but I can think of much better shows that have needed saving
I love thar series
Thanks for saving Unforgettable it’s one of my favorite shows. To bad you didn’t keep Longmere,I love that show.
great series,keep it alive
Three cheers for A&E. This show is much more relaxing than the other police shows. Very well done. Happy it is back and we will be watching!
HOPE YOU SEE THIS CBS. SOME FIRING NEEDS TO BE DONE AT CBS. WHOEVER’S IN CHARGE IS REALLY MESSING UP CBS CANCELING THE GOOD SHOWS.
Thank you A&E. I love the show so much.Glad you picked it up.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING UP UNFORGETTABLE. YOU MAY BE THE BEST NETWORK NOW. CBS HAS WENT TO THE TOILET AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED.
Excellent series that treats the audience with intelligence. Carrie has a real life condition of the mind that only less than half a dozen people have in the US. Makes for interesting drama and the first year rocked – the man in the woods – and the dark nature of her slain sister – brought Carrie to a place where she would learn to use her talent to help others. Not made up monsters – but real life and fascinating. Loved music as well – especially Love Song in “Lost Things” episode. Go Poppy – We will all love seeing… Read more »
Love Unforgettable and Poppy! Writing should showcase her memory abilities more like in the first season.
