NEVERS, THE (HBO) - The Joss Whedon-created series has formally been canceled after one season. The show's second part "will now end up in the show's new home" according to said report, potentially a new FAST channel. (Deadline.com)
UNDER THE BRIDGE (Hulu) - Lily Gladstone will round out the cast of the limited series based on Rebecca Godfrey's book as Cam Bentland: "As one of the only women of color on the police force in Victoria, BC, Cam is used to disguising herself as 'one of the boys.' She is deeply moralistic and a hard worker, and has a strong faith in the justice system she was raised in - even as she has witnessed firsthand how it never serves people like herself. Over the course of the series, Cam is forced to confront her own repression around her queer sexuality and identity, and begins to question the status quo in her line of work - leading her to rise above to do the job the way she believes it should be done." (Deadline.com)
WESTWORLD (HBO) - The sci-fi drama, canceled earlier this year after four seasons, is set to exit the streaming service HBO Max. Said report indicates the series is "likely to resurface on other company platforms," potentially a new FAST channel. (Deadline.com)
