    • 'Frequency' Cancelled After One Season

    It is being reported that The CW has decided against continuing with Frequency, opting to cancel the new series after just one season. The news does not come as much of a surprise, as the show's 13-episode freshman run struggled to find an audience and never really generated much buzz.
    As we reported back in November, things were not looking good after the network failed to add any additional episodes to show's initial order. While there was a small amount of hope due to a deal with streaming giant Netflix, the lack of a back order all but sealed its fate.
    Based on the 2000 film of the same name, Frequency followed a woman who never got the chance to really know her father before he was killed when she was only eight years old. 20 years later she is shocked to hear her dad's voice come through his broken old ham radio, transmitting from 1996. But even though communication is now possible, changing history proves to have a dramatic affect on her life in the present.

    NBC Cancels 'Emerald City'

    It is being reported that Emerald City has been cancelled after one season. NBC's reimagining of The Wizard of Oz premiered as a mid-season entry earlier this year with a 10-episode run. Unfortunately its time on the air drew little fanfare, and its ratings reflected that in its Friday night time slot.
    Emerald City took a dark, reimagined look at the Land of Oz, where a 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is swept up into a mystical land far removed from her own. This unsuspecting young woman is forced to navigate this new, dangerous land filled with competing realms and dark magic, on the road to finding her true destiny.

    'Shadowhunters' Renewed For Season 3

    It was announced this morning that Freeform has renewed Shadowhunters for a third season. The early pickup comes midway through the fantasy drama's sophomore run, with the good news being delivered - as it was last year - via a Facebook Live Chat with the members of the cast.

After her mother is kidnapped, she becomes immersed in the world of demon hunting as she begins a journey of self-discovery in a new world filled with faeries, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves.

    ABC Cancels 'Time After Time'

    Reports are out that ABC has pulled new series Time After Time from its schedule after just five episodes. The move does not come as much of a surprise after a slow start to the time travel drama, which has finished last against its Sunday night competition in each of its airings.
