The Walking Dead, Dark Tower, Da Vinci and other interestingness
Cable channel AMC renewed for the third season its most successful TV series The Walking Dead, which came on the air only a week ago. Then, I remind you, the show has gathered a huge audience - 7.3 million viewers. Indicators in the categories of 18-49 and 18-34 have a record of all the primes on the basic cable channels. The second episode lost less than 10% - 6.7 million viewers.
CBS renewed for a full first season drama Person Of Interest and Unforgettable. Prior to that, such an honor was awarded comedy 2 Broke Girls. Friday drama A Gifted Man can’t boast of ratings, so no matter what and does not count. Comedy How to Be a Gentleman put into scrap, and more news products in the channel were not.
Creators of an ambitious project The Dark Tower cut the budget, a little redrew the script and it seems now everything is fine. I recall that initially to shoot the project (three films plus two season series) was going studio Universal, but then it refused to adapt the novel by Stephen King. Now one of the producers The Dark Tower said that the TV project has obtained its house in a face of HBO channel. Studio for feature film has not yet been found.
The premiere of series Boss, who has already renewed for a second season, at the channel Starz have watched 1,7 million viewers. The result, of course, is not outstanding, but quite normal. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena at the time made its debut with 2.8 million; Torchwood: Miracle Day - 2 million; Camelot - 1,6 million
All the same Starz has ordered a new series Da Vinci's Demons from one of the writers of Dark Knight and Man of Steel - David Goyer (yes, Flash Forward, too, for him). The project has passed the stage of the pilot and immediately received an order for the show. "Untold" history of the greatest genius in the world (Leonardo Da Vinci, if that) at the time of his youth in Florence. The premiere is scheduled for the 2013th year.
Comedy Central is not going to give up comedy Workaholics, which has received an order for a third season.
Nickelodeon has finally set a date for the premiere of animated television series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, the launch of which was announced in May 2009. The series based on the popular animated film made in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation and will be released on November 7.
