Fox Adds O.J. Simpson Drama & ‘Shogun’ Adaptation To Event Series Development Slate
Fox has added two more drama projects to its event series development slate. The network has announced that they are developing an adaptation of James Clavell’s novel Shogun and Jeffrey Toobin’s book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, both of which are being produced by FX Productions. These two new event dramas are part of Fox’s ambition to have an event series on air by 2014 and join Wayward Pines and Blood Brothers, which are also in development.


TV Land has renewed its highest rated comedy series Hot In Cleveland for a fifth season of 24 episodes. The renewal will bring the series past the 100 episode mark – oft cited as the magic number for syndication – with CBS Television Distribution having already sold the series to TV stations in 92% of the United States for a September 2014 launch.
