With four more episodes left to air, History has decided to cancel its gritty military drama Six.
Ratings have not been kind to the second season, but there were some big changes to the story of the ten-episode chapter in comparison to Six Season 1.
What hasn't changed is camaraderie between the characters on one of the few shows on television that currently features men supporting other men in a sea of programming that features women doing it all the time.
Six Season 2 began immediately after Rip was shot. The character was ultimately killed, leaving a hole in the cast left by Walton Goggins.
The Seal Team felt the pain of their former leader's loss and with Bear at the helm and the addition of CIA officer Gina Cline (Olivia Munn), began to scour Eastern Europe, infiltrating hostile territory and terrorist hotspots like Chechnya as they track the mastermind behind the...

Exclusive: History has opted not to order a third season of its Navy Seal drama series Six. The decision comes with four more episodes left to air from the 10-episode second season. They will run as scheduled. I hear the timing of the decision was tied to the cast options expiring at the end of this week.
Six was a breakout for History when it debuted in early 2017, drawing strong ratings and earning a Season 2 renewal ahead of its Season 1 finale for a 10-episode second season, up from the eight-episode first season.
Ratings have dropped in Season 2, running almost 50% below the Season 1 averages in Live+same day, which I hear was behind the cancellation decision.
History’s scripted series portfolio includes flagship Vikings, Knightfall, which I hear is gearing up for a second season, and the upcoming Robert Zemeckis-produced UFO series Blue Book.

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination lawsuit against ABC and Desperate Housewives series creator Marc Cherry ended in a mistrial Monday. Jurors felt that some of the key witnesses in the case weren't credible, and there were unanswered questions about how the investigation into the alleged abuse Sheridan suffered was handled by ABC. "In my estimation," ABC's inquiry "wasn't handled correctly... I won't say there was a cover up. That's a strong word, but it wasn't handled right," juror Beverly Crosby said in a statement after the verdict was read. Sheridan came off as someone who stood proud against a powerful network, and the jury voted 8-4 throughout all three days of considering the evidence. A key testimony made by Housewives executive producer George Perkins reinforced Sheridan's claims that her character was killed off in retaliation to her complaint about Cherry, but there was no...

For years, it's felt like the juiciest Desperate Housewives drama has probably been playing out behind the scenes, and the recent trial pitting Nicollette Sheridan against showrunner Marc Cherry confirmed it. The case ended yesterday with a declared mistrial, which seems apt because after all the testimony, nobody on the show came out a winner: Among all the accusations flung back and forth between Sheridan and Cherry, dirt was spilled on the other actors, who suffered collateral damage. Here's a roundup of the weirdest and most revealing tidbits that came to light about each Housewives mainstay, all of whom must be dreading the potential of a second trial.Marcia CrossSheridan was often late to work because she felt she wasn't needed as early as she was being called in, executive producer George Perkins testified. Unprofessional behavior? Perhaps, though Perkins then admitted that Marcia Cross is late to work 25 percent of...

James Denton has had quite a busy week. The man who for years played hunky plumber Mike Delfino on "Desperate Housewives" saw his character killed off on Sunday night, two days after the plot twist was spoiled by producer George Perkins in courtroom testimony in Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination lawsuit against "Desperate" creator Marc Cherry.
In an interview on "The Wendy Williams Show" (weekdays on Fox) Denton looked back at the surreal week. "Thursday in court, they asked me on the stand if she was the most prominent character to ever be killed, and I said, 'Technically, yeah.' Because I knew I wasn't dead for two more days," he recounted.
Denton continued to set the scene of how his character's death was spoiled. "One of our producers testified and they asked him the same question, and he said, 'Other than James Denton,'" at which several female members...

It was business as usual on Wisteria Lane last night -- blackmail, euthanasia requests, kids hanging off the roof -- until the closing moments when Desperate Housewives continued to turn its final string of episodes into the most exciting in years by killing off a major character!
Will There Be A Housewives Movie?
Yes, sadly for fans of questionable bicep tattoos, Mike "The Plumber" Delfino was sent to the overpopulated Desperate Housewives graveyard in the sky after he was the victim of a drive-by-shooting. And a seriously accurate one at that -- to hit the heart from at more than 20 feet away while riding in a moving car is no small feat. Not that I know from personal experience or anything, but I've seen some stories on 20/20.

Los Angeles — For eight seasons, Marc Cherry has woven conflict, mystery and death into the story lines of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," but soon 12 jurors will be the ones supplying suspense for the veteran television writer.
Deliberations in actress Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination lawsuit begin this week, with the panel deciding whether they believe the actress was fired after complaining Cherry, the series' creator and show-runner, struck her on the set. He denies walloping her and contends her demise from the hit series was a long-planned plot point.
Seven days of testimony have revealed conflicting stories that could easily have been scripted in the "Housewives" writers' room, providing a fascinating look behind the scenes of a hit prime-time series, complete with financial pressures, cast conflicts and secret meetings all on display.

Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination trial wrapped up the week with Desperate Housewives executive producer George Perkins testifying that Sheridan was late for work about "50 percent of the time."
Perkins also said on the witness stand Friday that he had to have discussions with the 48-year-old star "multiple times" each season about not adequately knowing her lines, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Regarding her tardiness, Perkins suggested Sheridan was acting out purposefully. "She would often tell me her call time was too early. She didn't think we needed her as early as she was being called," the producer was quoted as saying.

Former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan's reliability became a talking point in court again on Friday as series line producer George Perkins revealed her punctuality was a big issue and he had to speak to the actress about learning her lines.
Perkins returned to the witness stand in Sheridan's ongoing wrongful dismissal trial on Friday morning - a day after he revealed the identity of the castmember who would be killed off in an episode airing in America on Sunday - and testified he spoke to the actress "multiple times" about not knowing her lines.
He told the court Sheridan was late for work "50 per cent of the time", adding, "She would often tell me her call time was too early."
The producer revealed he was among those who had agreed to kill off her character, Edie Britt, to cut costs on the show.
Earlier this week, programme creator Marc Cherry revealed that Sheridan's alleged unprofessionalism had become tiring, claiming she had been rude to his fellow writers and complained about her co-stars.
The actress is suing Cherry and ABC TV executives, claiming she was fired after complaining about being hit in the head by the show creator in September, 2008. Cherry insists he was simply trying to demonstrate an action in a scene, and the decision to kill off her character was made months before.
In court on Friday, producer Perkins called the incident "minor".

"Desperate Housewives" executive producer George Perkins took the stand Friday in the trial between Nicollette Sheridan and her former bosses ABC and Marc Cherry, painting a picture of an emotional and unreliable Sheridan. Recalling the phone call that Sheridan placed to him on the day of her altercation with Cherry, Perkins said that he felt that it was "a minor incident" after speaking with her.

Marc Cherry's camp continued Friday to paint a picture of Nicollette Sheridan as a disruptive force on the Desperate Housewives set. Executive producer George Perkins, who dropped a heck of a spoiler bomb on the stand yesterday, continued his testimony this morning—alas, he didn't have any more plot twists to offer. What Perkins said was that, in his opinion, the incident that Sheridan is now suing Cherry over seemed "minor" at the time, based on his conversations with the actress. "I know Nicollette is emotional at times," Perkins said. "I felt that emotion played a part...I felt that it was a misunderstanding between somebody trying to give a direction and the actor...

Desperate Housewives executive producer George Perkins returned to the witness stand Friday morning in Nicollette Sheridan's $6 million wrongful-termination lawsuit in Los Angeles and said the actress was late arriving for work about “50 percent of the time” during her five seasons on the show. He also said he had to talk to her “multiple times” each season about not knowing her lines. Perkins said he discussed the tardiness with Sheridan and that it was clear to him she did it purposefully. “She would often tell me her call time was too early,” Perkins said. “She didn’t think

Los Angeles — Anger didn't factor into the decision to kill off Nicollette Sheridan's role on "Desperate Housewives," despite her complaints that her boss hit her on the set, the show's creator testified Thursday.
Marc Cherry concluded his testimony in the actress' wrongful termination case by denying claims from Sheridan's attorneys that he tried to influence the statements of other employees on the show to fit his version of the dispute. A longtime executive producer on the show corroborated with Cherry's version, saying he learned that Sheridan's role would be eliminated months before the September 2008 dispute.
Cherry and other witnesses have said approval to kill off Sheridan's character Edie Britt was given in May 2008, four months before the actress accused Cherry of striking her hard in the head during a discussion of a scene. George Perkins, an executive producer who wasn't present for the May meeting, said he learned about...

Actress Nicollette Sheridan's ongoing wrongful dismissal trial has thrown up a major upcoming plot twist - James Denton's character, Mike Delfino, will be killed off in the latest episode, which airs in America on Sunday.
Producer George Perkins let the spoiler slip during testimony on Thursday afternoon as he explained to the court that Sheridan's Edie Britt is not the most high-profile character to be killed off.
Perkins then went on to explain that Delfino would meet a grisly end this weekend as the series begins its final weeks.
Ironically, Denton was also in court on Thursday and testified that he was far from shocked when he heard Sheridan's character would be axed, stating, "People get killed off so often."
Asked if he was ever concerned about Delfino's demise, he added, "Always".
Denton also told the court he had no knowledge of a 2008 spat between series creator Marc Cherry and Sheridan, which ended with the writer/producer hitting the actress on the head to demonstrate an action in a scene.
Sheridan claims she was fired after complaining to TV executive about the incident. Cherry maintains he had decided to kill off Britt months before.
Denton is expected to be the only cast member to testify, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The trial continues.

Wearing a dark blue suit jacket and with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, Sheridan described the day she claims she was slapped by Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry.
The set-up, provided by Sheridan, was that a ”funny” line Edie said during rehearsals had been cut from the script. So the actress approached Cherry about why it was gone. “What is it that you want?...

NBC and Fox have both unleashed their Fall 2011-2012 TV schedule, now ABC has released theirs. I’m excited to see Castle, Modern Family, and The Middle back in the mix. Most of the new shows they have line-up don’t really interest me, but there are a few that have caught my eye. PanAm is another 1960’s based TV show that will go against AMC’s Mad Men and NBC’s The Playboy Club. There’s a show called Revenge that sounds really interesting, but the new series I’m most excited about is is the fantasy series Once Upon A Time, a show where fairy tales collide with the modern day.
