Peacock Folds Poker Face After Two Seasons
Poker Face, the Peacock original comedy/drama series starring Natasha Lyonne as a roving amateur detective, was supposed to be a modern day Columbo. But instead of running for decades, as the Peter Falk series seemed to do, Poker Face is now bust at Peacock after just two seasons. Despite the cancellation, however, show producers are shopping it around to other networks with Lyonne out and Peter Dinklage in as star. It’s a long shot so we’ll see.

Netflix Benching The Starting 5
The Starting 5, the Netflix original reality series that offers a behind-the-scenes look at NBA stars, appears to be getting blocked after two seasons, according to Sports Business Journal. Netflix hasn’t confirmed the cancellation yet but SBJ says the show missed its shot with viewers and likely won’t be coming back for a third season.

The Chair Company Sitting Pretty at HBO Max
The Chair Company, the goofy conspiracy comedy/drama starring Tim Robinson, has gotten the green light for a second season at HBO Max. The show’s first season is averaging more than three million viewers an episode, according to Variety.

Secret Lives Of Mormons Snags 2 More Seasons
The Hulu reality series featuring a TikTok group of married Mormon women who share their secrets and their husbands has been renewed for at least 20 more episodes, according to ShowSnob. That should be good for seasons four and five; the first three seasons are now on Hulu along with reunion shows.

Tulsa King Gets OK For Fourth Season
Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King, which streams exclusively on Paramount Plus, may have had a rocky third season; the show’s attempt to balance comedy and drama sometimes falls flat despite the star’s best efforts. However, the bosses at Paramount don’t seem to care; they have granted Sly and company a fourth season. To learn more, click here.
