canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Varsity Blues, His Wives and Daughters: CMT Ends Scripted TV Show Plans

by Jessica Pena, May 9, 2017

CMT TV shows (canceled or renewed?)

It looks like scripted series are taking a backseat at CMT. Deadline reports the network has passed on two new TV shows, Varsity Blues and His Wives & Daughters.

Recently, we reported that CMT has cancelled Sun Records after its first season. Now, the network only has two scripted series left, Nashville and Still the King.

Speaking to Deadline, CMT’s head of development Jayson Dinsmore said they only want to develop scripted shows that are specific to the network’s brand:

[W]e still have several things in the scripted space in development. We are developing both comedies and dramas, the distinction is that they have to be very specific to CMT. I don’t think we have developed anything that could air on another channel.”

In the meantime, CMT is focusing on a new slate of unscripted series:

[W]e are really focused on replenishing the unscripted slate. Our goal for 2018 is to launch launch 3 new additional unscripted series early in the fall. There are a couple of things that resonate with the CMT viewers — those are music-based or have some music element and comedy and escapism. I think we have put both of those into our development slate”

What do you think? Do you watch CMT? Do you wish the network had more scripted content?

I was looking forward to seeing His Wives and Daughters. Loved the cast lineup and it sounded like an interesting plot. Maybe CMT should re-think this one.

I agree. What’s up with CMT never giving certain drama Series a chance. Gail O Grady is definitely one of my favorite Actresses and Jane Seymour is truly a phenomenal Actress. Maybe the cable companies should cut CMT off. CMT is full of BS and not even worth watching anymore. Bad decisions and losing loyal viewers. I hope Netflix will pick up this show . Very disappointed and also disappointed for those Actors and Actresses. This is their craft and Arts of how they make a living and Career. CMT ya Suck!! Wake up! Give these shows a strong support.… Read more »

I really love Nashville and Sun Records. I see from the post below that you’ve cancelled Sun Records. That’s too bad. Why? I’d love to see more of it.

We can’t believe you cancelled Sun Records. We loved that show and couldn’t wait for Thursday night’s. We actually recorded it and still have them on our DVR. You might as well take CMT off . We don’t watch it and never did till we were told about Sun Records. So disappointed. I told so many people about that show.

I think CMT is making a big mistake by cancelling Sun Records. That was the only show we watched on your channel. We are very disappointed with your decision. We looked forward to every Thursday night for the show and now we will have to go back to the main stream channels cause you have nothing worth our time to watch. Nashville is a terrible show and your reality shows are a waste of time. Wish you would reconsider renewing Sun Records. Until than goodbye.
