The holidays are a special time of year, but perhaps no more special than for Hallmark fans.

In addition to all of the Countdown to Christmas titles on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery’s Miracles of Christmas slate, Hallmark+ is rolling out its own collection of streaming exclusive holiday series and movies.

The "Twilight" Saga is one of those film franchises that is so ungodly profitable and popular in the zeitgeist that even people who have never seen a single clip beyond a gif of Edward Cullen sparkling in the sunlight and declaring "This is the skin of a killer, Bella" at least know the general story beats. It's a love triangle between the vampiric Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a werewolf named Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and the most average girl in the world, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). The entire "Twilight" phenomenon was stupid lightning in a stupid bottle, and I doubt author Stephenie Meyer could have ever predicted her relatively chaste, monster-loving Mormon stories had the power to completely change the landscape of teen girl cinema forever.

But the "Twilight" movies have a lot more going on in them beyond the #TeamEdward #TeamJacob #TeamBellaGoesToCollegeAndDatesAroundABit wars. I asked some of the /Film staffers...

It looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes. Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and takes the lead in her own life.

It’s case closed for Proven Innocent: Fox has cancelled the legal drama after one season, TVLine has confirmed.

The cancellation comes less than 24 hours after Proven Innocent aired its Season 1 finale, which will now serve as a series ender. The show starred Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome) as Madeline Scott, an ambitious defense attorney dedicated to the issue of wrongful convictions, after she and her brother were wrongfully found guilty as teenagers for the murder of their friend.

Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Russell Hornsby (Grimm), Nikki M. James (BrainDead), Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) and Riley Smith (Frequency) rounded out the ensemble.

Fox’s legal drama Proven Innocent has been officially dismissed. The cancellation of the midseason series, from Danny Strong and Stacy Greenberg, comes about three months after its debut. It had been fully expected.

The procedural was poised to fill the Bones void on Fox. Since its premiere, the ratings have been steadily declining, which had a low debut as it had tough competition on a Friday night.

The series was set in a wrongful conviction firm. Led by a fierce and fearless female lawyer with a hunger for justice, the team reopens investigations, putting their own lives in danger to exonerate the innocent that were ‘proven’ guilty. Our lead’s motivation comes from her infamous past; as a young adult she was found guilty and later exonerated in a high-profile case in which she became a tabloid sensation, household name and national celebrity. While a hero and a victim to some,...

Fox has pulled the plug on “Proven Innocent” after a single season, Variety has learned.

The legal drama was Fox’s lowest-rated show for the 2018-19 season, with an Live+Same Day average of a 0.4 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic. The legal drama also averaged just over 2 million viewers per episode. The Season 1 finale aired on Friday night.

Fox has canceled freshman series “Proven Innocent” after just one season. The series, which aired Fridays and starred Kelsey Grammer, centered on a legal team tackling wrongful conviction cases.

“Frasier” alum Grammer was not technically the lead of the 13-episode series — he was just the most recognizable name and face. The most lines went to character Madeline Scott, who was played by both Clare O’Connor (young) and Rachelle Lefevre (we’re not going to say “old”).

Grammer has been publicly peddling a “Frasier” revival, though as of the time of this writing, there were no known takers. Grammer has said that he envisions returns for not just his titular character but also Niles, Daphne and Roz.

His one request?

“I don’t want to go back to Seattle,” he told TheWrap back in August.

The pilot is in second position for Hornsby to Fox's legal drama Proven Innocent, on which he stars opposite Rachelle Lefevre. The show has put up modest ratings on Friday nights through three weeks.

Lincoln, from Sony Pictures TV and Universal TV in association with Keshet Studios, is based on a best-selling book series by Jeffrey Deaver and the 1999 movie ...

While the fictional overturned murder conviction at the center of “Proven Innocent” isn’t based on one particular real-life case, that doesn’t mean Fox’s new legal drama won’t be pulling from actual examples of people who were — and some who weren’t — proven innocent.

“For the case of the week, I wouldn’t say they’re ripped from the headlines,” executive producer and writer Danny Strong told TheWrap in an interview ahead of “Proven Innocent’s” series premiere last Friday. “They are usually very loosely inspired from a case that we’ve heard about. Like we wanted to do something on transgender issues or we wanted to do something on the racial hate movement, the death penalty, shaken baby syndrome.”

“Certainly, we’ve been inspired by real-life cases too,” Strong added, before detailing one that he truly became obsessed with while working on the show’s first season.

Leading out of back-to-back episodes of Last Man Standing aka Friday’s consistently top-rated program, Fox’s Proven Innocent premiered to just 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.5 rating.

Succeeding Hell’s Kitchen, that marks a demo low for that Fox time slot this TV season, and I have to reckon it’s the network’s lowest rated drama launch in a while — and that’s including (blast from the past alert!) Second Chance‘s Friday debut (which scored a 0.7). But it’s Saturday, so I will leave others to crunch such superlatives. My abacus is at the office.

TVLine readers...

The last time Rachelle Lefevre led a TV drama, she was trapped Under the Dome in the mysteriously encased town of Chester’s Mill.

Fortunately, there are no domes to be found in Lefevre’s new series, Proven Innocent, but it does take place somewhere equally stressful: the courtroom. (Seriously, Chester’s Mill will start to look pretty inviting after going up against Chicago’s toughest prosecutor.)

Proven Innocent made its debut on Fox Friday night — but before you tell us what you thought of Episode 1, let’s recap what went down in the premiere:

Lefevre stars as ambitious attorney Madeline Scott,...

“Proven Innocent” wants to help the hopeless but can’t save itself from its ill-equipped noble intentions. Created by David Elliott — known for testosterone-laden fare like “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” — Fox’s new legal drama plays like a dude-bro who has suddenly found wokeness, now that he’s become a father of daughters.

In the series, Rachelle Lefevre stars as Maddie Scott, an attorney whose clunkily monikered Injustice Defense Group exonerates the wrongly convicted. Maddie has a fire in her after she and her brother Levi (Riley Smith) were sent to prison as teenagers for a murder they didn’t commit. Not only will Maddie help others like herself, but she’s also determined to take down Gore Bellows (Kelsey Grammer), the prosecutor in the fateful trial against her years ago. He’s still at it, and the two butt heads as Maddie turns up evidence to undo...

Sometimes inspiration can strike in unexpected places. For writer and producer Danny Strong, watching a documentary about Amanda Knox proved to be the impetus that led to him co-creating (with David Elliot) the new Fox drama “Proven Innocent.”

“Watching the documentary on her case made me want to do something on wrongful conviction, because I was so enraged by it,” Strong tells Variety. “In these wrongful conviction cases the cops have no interest in them because the person’s been found guilty and is in prison; it’s closed. So wrongful conviction lawyers have to be their own investigators, and it can be very dangerous for them. And I thought, ‘Oh so it’s not just a straight legal show, it’s an investigation show, too’ and that just seemed really cool to me.”

“Proven Innocent” is centered on a woman named Madeline Scott (Rachelle Lefevre) who works for a...

Adam Busch (Altered Carbon) is set for a recurring role on Fox’s new legal drama series Proven Innocent, from Empire co-creator Danny Strong and writer David Elliott. Written by Elliott, Proven Innocent follows a criminal defense firm led by Madeline Scott (Rachelle Lefevre), a fierce and uncompromising lawyer with a hunger for justice. Busch will play Noah Weiss, a confident, successful campaign strategist from New York who runs campaigns like a business. From 20th Century Fox Television and Danny Strong Productions, Proven Innocent, which premieres February 15, is executive-produced by Strong, Elliot and Stacy Greenberg. Adam Armus is an executive producer and showrunner. Patricia Riggen directed the pilot. Busch most recently recurred as Mickey on Altered Carbon and appeared in feature Rebel in the Rye, written and directed by Strong. He’s repped by Buchwald and Good Fear Management.

Seana Kofoed (American Princess) has booked a recurring role on TNT’s comedic drama series Claws.

Sneak Peek the new legal drama TV series "Proven Innocent", created by David Elliot, starring Rachelle Lefevre, Russell Hornsby, Nikki M. James, Vincent Kartheiser, Riley Smith, Kelsey Grammer and Clare O'Connor, premiering February 15, 2019 on Fox:

"...'Proven Innocent' is set in a 'wrongful conviction' firm, led by 'Madeline Scott' (Lefevre) a fierce and fearless female lawyer with a hunger for justice, as the team reopens investigations, putting their own lives in danger to exonerate the innocent that were 'proven' guilty by a politically motivated, two-tired justice system.

"Scott's motivation comes from her infamous past, As a young adult she was found guilty and later exonerated in a high-profile case in which she became a tabloid sensation, household name and national celebrity. 

"While a hero and a victim to some, her bold and bullish tactics garner her some enemies. One of whom will do anything to see...

The new Fox drama “Proven Innocent” would seem to be made for a moment in which many are looking more closely at the methods of prosecutors and seeing excesses in the criminal-justice system. Rachelle Lefevre plays Madeline Scott, imprisoned for years thanks in part to the zealous attention of a prosecutor (Kelsey Grammer) but then exonerated on appeal. In order, at first, to foil her nemesis’ run for political office, she makes it her mission to find people he’d put in jail who don’t deserve to be there — to, as the title says, prove the imprisoned innocent.

And it’s there that the show stumbles. The show’s obsession with “innocence” as a concept doesn’t in fact comport with the legal system’s privileging “guilt” or its absence. In our world, those who are let off by the legal system cannot be proven guilty; in this show’s,...
