Shonda Rhimes Drama ‘The Catch’, ‘Quantico’, ‘Wicked City’ & More Picked Up To Series At ABC
ABC is bulking up for next season. The network, who are now starting to make calls on renewals and cancellations, has picked up their pilots The Catch, The Muppets, Quantico, Untitled Pate & Fishburne Project (formerly known as Boom), Dr Ken, Wicked City, The Real O'Neals, Of Kings And Prophets and The Family to series. 
With only days before their Upfront presentation, Fox has handed out their first series orders. The network has picked up comedy pilot The Grinder, starring Rob Lowe; and procedural drama Rosewood to series. Perhaps unsurprisingly as these were the first orders for the network, both hail from sister studio 20th Century Fox Television.
The CW has set their line-up for the 2015-2016 season by handing out series orders to three of their drama pilots. The three dramas to get the nod were the Arrow/The Flash team-up spin-off (now titled DC's Legends Of Tomorrow), Belgian adaptation Cordon and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (which was initally developed as a half-hour at premium cable network Showtime).
After months of rumours The CW has finally made it official: they have cancelled their Rachel Bilson fronted drama Hart Of Dixie after airing four seasons of the Warner Bros Television produced series.
After picking up three new dramas last week (Chicago Med, Blindspot and Heartbreakers), NBC has turned their attention to their comedy slate and picked up comedy pilots People Are Talking, Crowded and Superstore to series.
Along with dropping the first trailer earlier today, Netflix has released a series of first look images for their upcoming sci-fi series Sense8. The 12 episode drama, from J. Michael Straczynski and The Wachowskis, premieres globally on the streaming service on Friday June 5th.
BBC America has renewed their flagship original drama series Orphan Black for a ten episode fourth season, the network announced on Thursday. The fourth season is slated to enter production later this year for a 2016 premiere.
