EXCLUSIVE: Last month, as I was sitting down to work on a report on the US acquisitions market for 2012 (which admittedly should have been published ahead of my 2013-to-date report), I came across some notes from an acquisitions roundup I was working on last August. We’ve now published a good ten or twelve of these roundups (including yesterday’s bumper edition) confirming the status of various scripted imports with their UK broadcasters. Much to my own irritation, I found I’d allowed a number of less high-profile shows to fall between the cracks. After a number of calls over the last 8 weeks to insiders at various broadcasters and distributors, I hear that as many as 6 US scripted series may not be continuing in the UK. I have been able to confirm four of those, however, the fate of the remaining two are still hanging in the balance. Of those six shows, the four that multiple sources are telling me won’t be continuing in the UK are Fox’s animated series Bob’s Burgers, the recently cancelled Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva, ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars and Showtime’s comedy series Weeds. As for the remaining two shows, I’ve confirmed that, as of this writing, the series’ UK broadcasters do not hold the rights to the new seasons of the respective series. That said, however, insiders refused to confirm whether or not an active decision had been made not to acquire future seasons of said shows or if any deals are in progress. Those two shows whose fates are hanging in the balance are TNT’s Franklin & Bash and AMC’s The Killing.
