‘Mom’ & ‘Scorpion’ Lose UK Broadcaster After ITV2 Opts Not To Renew Deals With WB & CBS
EXCLUSIVE: ITV2 is letting go of two high-profile U.S. acquisitions. The youth-skewing digi-net has opted not to renew their licensing agreements for the Allison Janney/Anna Farris comedy series Mom and the Elyes Gabel fronted drama Scorpion, TVWise can reveal. 
CBS on Thursday handed out renewals to some thirteen of their scripted series, eleven of which currently have UK homes. Those eleven series to get the nod for the 2017-2018 broadcast season are: Madam Secretary (Sky Living), NCIS: Los Angeles (Sky1), Kevin Can Wait (E4), Blue Bloods (Sky Atlantic), NCIS: New Orleans (Channel 5), Bull (FOX UK), Mom (ITV2), Life In Pieces (Amazon Prime Video UK), MacGyver (Sky1), Hawaii Five-0 (Sky1) and Scorpion (ITV2). 
Jaime Pressly (Jennifer Falls) has been upped to series regular status for the just-ordered third season of CBS's hit comedy series Mom, starring Anna Faris (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) and Allison Janney (The West Wing).
CBS has officially confirmed that they have renewed 'Mom' for a third season and 'Mike & Molly' for a sixth season, whilst simultaneously announcing that '2 Broke Girls' has also been picked up for next season.
CBS is continuing their streak of early pick ups for top performing series by handing out renewals to Warner Bros. Television produced comedies Mom and Mike & Molly.
