Thank you BBC America and AMC for pushing the Season 3 premiere of "Killing Eve" up by two weeks! We now have 14 fewer days to wait before we finally get answers to the many OMG cliffhangers Season 2 left us with, but that still gives us more than enough time do a 16-episode binge (or rewatch) session and get swept up in this crazy cat-and-mouse thrill ride that plays out between security operative Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer).

'Flack' Cancelled At Pop
It is being reported that Pop TV is no longer going to air the second season of Flack, instead opting to cancel the dramedy as part of a move that pares down its lineup of originals. The sad news comes just over a week ahead of its scheduled return to the cable network.
A co-production based out of the UK, the series stars Anna Paquin as Robyn, an American living and working in London as what's known as a flack - a PR executive who promotes, publicizes, and protects her clients. While she's a pro at cleaning up all the disasters caused by her sloppy and selfish clients, her personal life is a bit of a mess itself.
While Season 2 of Flack will not be airing on Pop, it still may find a home on another US network, as the series is likely being shopped around. In the UK its future is unclear. On the W channel's website, a listed return date of March has been recently changed to 'Coming Soon'.
'Impulse' Cancelled By YouTube
Word is out that YouTube has cancelled Impulse after two seasons. The news comes directly from showrunner Lauren LeFranc, who took to Twitter to thank fans and those who worked on the show.
The drama premiered on the streamer's subscription service, YouTube Premium, in 2018. It wasn't long before it was picked up for a second season after mostly positive critical feedback. But a recent shift in programming strategy by the service to focus less on scripted fare and more on reality-based shows cut Impulse's run short.
Impulse follows the life of Henry Coles, a 16-year-old girl who is somewhat of an outsider in her new town of Reston, New York. But her days of being isolated and withdrawn don't last long, as a traumatic encounter with a classmate changes everything by triggering a power from deep within her - one that she cannot control.
'Lost In Space' Renewed For Final Third Season
Netflix announced today that Lost in Space has been renewed for a third and final season. The news, which arrives less than three months after the sci-fi drama's sophomore run, was accompanied by a message to fans from showrunner Zack Estrin. In the statement, Estrin confirmed that the series had been envisioned as a trilogy from the beginning.
A re-imagining of the 1960s series of the same name, Lost in Space follows a future where Planet Earth is in crisis, and the Robinson family journeys to space with hopes of writing a new chapter in human history. But when their spacecraft crashes on a mysterious frozen planet, the family faces unknown dangers as they fight for their lives to escape.
Look for Season 3 of Lost in Space in 2021.
Netflix Cancels 'AJ And The Queen'
There will be no more adventures for AJ and the Queen, as Netflix has cancelled the dramedy after just one season. Co-creator and star RuPaul Charles took to Twitter to announce the sad news, which comes less than two months after the show's freshman release on the streaming service.
The hour-long series followed drag queen Ruby Red, played by RuPaul, who sets out on the road looking for a change of scenery and new adventures. While traveling across the country in her run-down RV, she comes across a stowaway in the form of a street-smart, tough-talking 10-year-old who ends up becoming her unlikely sidekick. As the two misfits travel from one city to another, Ruby's message of acceptance touches people and changes their lives for the better.
Apple TV+ Renews 'Truth Be Told'
It is being reported that Apple TV+ has picked up a second season of Truth Be Told. The good news comes less than two months after the drama ended its freshman run, which at the time was thought to be a standalone miniseries.
The show stars Octavia Spencer as investigative reporter Poppy Parnell, who has a popular true-crime podcast. She is asked to investigate the case of a convicted serial killer she helped to incriminate after new evidence arises.
Today's renewal continues Apple's trend of bringing back all the originals on its new streaming service for sophomore seasons. Season 2 of Truth Be Told will see Spencer reprise her starring role in a new storyline in an anthology style.
Syfy Cancels 'The Magicians'
Word is out this morning that The Magicians will be coming to an end after its current fifth season. The sad news comes with five episodes remaining in the drama's run, with its finale on April 1 now set to act as its series ender.
The show was a solid performer for the cable network during its time on the air. Over the course of 60+ episodes it has garnered generally-favorable reviews from both critics and audiences, while pulling in decent ratings among key demographics.
Adapted from the Lev Grossman novel trilogy of the same name, The Magicians follows a graduate student who enrolls at a magical college only to discover that the fantasy world from popular children's books is actually based in truth and poses a danger to his world.
CBS Cancels 'Hawaii Five-0'
CBS announced today, somewhat surprisingly, that after 10 seasons Hawaii Five-0 is coming to an end. The sad news arrives with just a handful of episodes remaining in the rebooted drama's now-final season.
Ranking as the network's current fourth-longest-running drama, the cop series has been a fairly reliable Friday night staple, where it has been airing for the past six years. A re-imagining of the classic police procedural that aired from 1968 to 1980, Hawaii Five-0 follows Officer Steve McGarrett, who has returned to Hawaii to join up with Danny Williams as part of an elite branch of the Hawaii Police Force.
With such short notice, it is not clear if the series will end with a proper finale. The network has slated Friday, April 3 for the final episodes to air as part of a 2-hour closer. The 10-season run for this reboot of Hawaii Five-0 was impressive, but it ultimately failed to outlast the original, which ran for 12 seasons.
'Chicago Med' Renewed Through Season 8
NBC announced today that Chicago Med has been renewed for three more seasons, taking it to at least Season 8. The spin-off series continues to be a strong performer in the network's primetime lineup along with its two franchise mates.
On the air since 2015, Chicago Med focuses on the brave team of doctors and nurses that work at a hectic hospital in the Windy City. On a daily basis they tackle unique new cases while dealing with the drama of personal relationships.
While the series is the youngest in the franchise - after 2017's Chicago Justice was cancelled after just one season - it will be hitting the impressive 100-episode milestone in two weeks time
'Chicago P.D.' Renewed Through Season 10
NBC announced today that Chicago P.D. has been renewed for three more seasons, taking it to at least Season 10. The spin-off series continues to be a strong performer in the network's primetime lineup along with its two franchise mates.
On the air since 2014, Chicago P.D. is the network's fourth-longest-running drama currently on the air. The first spin-off of the hit Chicago franchise, Chicago P.D. involves stories of the uniformed police patrol and intelligence unit that pursues the perpetrators of the Windy City's major street offenses.
'Law & Order: SVU' Renewed Through 2023
NBC announced another history-making renewal today for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, giving the drama three more seasons that will take it to at least Season 24.
While not a surprise given the show's continued strong performance, the news is noteworthy as it extends the veteran procedural's already-record-setting run as American television's longest-running scripted live-action series. Before its current 21st season, the previous record was held by the original Law & Order, as well as 1950s western Gunsmoke, which both lasted 20 seasons.
'Chicago Fire' Renewed Through Season 11
NBC announced today that Chicago Fire has been given a three-season pickup, which will take it to at least Season 11. The original entry in the Chicago franchise continues to be a strong performer in the network's primetime lineup.
On the air since 2012, Chicago Fire is NBC's second-longest-running drama currently on the air. Its success paved the way for three spin-offs over the years, and while 2017's Chicago Justice lasted just one season, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med have remained strong.
Chicago Fire follows the courageous men and women at Firehouse 51, home to noble firefighters and paramedics who look fear in the eye and forge headfirst into dangerous situations in order to help those in need. The series will hit the 175-episode mark next week.
