From sitcoms and dramas to limited series and revivals, fall TV is officially back with more new shows than in the past. But who’s creating this content? Here, Variety highlights the showrunners behind some of the new, most highly anticipated series coming in the next few months.

Kevin Abbott

Writer and executive producer of “Happy’s Place,” Abbott has worked with Reba McEntire before, both as a writer on and produce on “Reba.” Previously, Abbott produced 160 episodes of “Last Man Standing” and worked on “My Name Is Earl,” “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place,” “Roseanne” and “The Golden Girls.”

Produced by: Universal TV

Premiere: Oct. 18, NBC

Joe Barton

“Black Doves,” a spy thriller set in London at Christmastime, was created by Barton and is led by Keira Knightley. In the past five years, he created and produced “Giri/Haji,” “The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself” and “The Lazarus Project.

HBO’s The Franchise may forever alter the way you experience a big-budget, IP-driven movie, by revealing just how silly it can be to film such an overblown spectacle.

Premiering this Sunday, Oct.6 at 10/9c and counting two-time James Bond movie director Sam Mendes among its executive producers, The Franchise follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie — Tecto: Eye of the Storm — as they fight for their place “in a savage and unruly cinematic universe.”

How do the makers of Bridgerton keep a fandom as dedicated as theirs guessing? How does the Netflix show surprise a core of fans who are so intimately familiar with Julia Quinn’s source books that they’re anticipating every blush and ball before it even gets to the screen?

One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

Their other answer? Invention. In addition to TV-only characters Madame Delacroix, Will and Alice Mondrich and Queen Charlotte herself, a new raft of invented-for-the-show characters appear in season three. Here they all are, along with info on the actors playing them, plus a couple...

American TV bosses obviously didn’t learn many lessons from “Episodes,” the Showtime/BBC co-production which brilliantly skewered the habit of adapting British sitcoms, and removing all nuances, subtleties, and idiosyncrasies in the process. In the 13 years since its premiere, there’s been numerous failed pilots (“Spy”), ratings disasters (“Free Agents”), and entire series considered unfit for public consumption (“Us and Them”) which originated across the pond. Now the most singular UK comedy of the 2010s is going transatlantic.

The BAFTA-nominated “Friday Night Dinner” — which served up 37 episodes from 2011-2020 —stemmed from creator Robert Popper’s real-life secular Jewish family and their weekly Shabbat meals, explaining why everything from its suburban London home to its lovable oddballs feels so wonderfully specific. Disappointingly, Amazon Freevee’s “Dinner with the Parents” is as generic as its title.

The 10-part series on Freevee does attempt to retain some of the original’s quirks.

‘Dead Pixels’ Remake Set At India’s Disney+ Hotstar

India’s Disney+ Hotstar has greenlit a remake of gamer comedy Dead Pixels, the British show produced by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain and Phil Clarke’s Various Artists Limited. BBC Studios India and Tamada Media are behind the remake, which will be in Telugu and follows the journey of three young friends whose lives revolve around an online video game, with the ultimate goal of defeating a virtual villain. The Indian version moves from the UK to Hyderabad, depicting the main characters’ obsession with the game and how it interferes in different aspects of their daily lives. Aditya Mandala is director, Akshay Poolla is writer and the version stars Niharika Konidela, Harsha Chemudu, Sai Ronak, Akshay Lagusani and Bhavana Sagi. The British Dead Pixels has aired for two seasons on E4 and was picked up in the U.S.

Addictive Netflix thriller You is finally back. And in Season 4, Charlotte Ritchie gets the unenviable honour of playing the latest obsession of creepy-yet-handsome, ‘I just can’t help falling in love with (and then probably killing) you’ Joe, aka Penn Badgley.

If you’re new to You, it’s the story of bookshop manager Joe Goldberg, who has a pathological tendency to develop dangerous infatuations with women, which usually end in lots of bloodshed and/or a prolonged stay in a plexiglass book vault. Most recently, he’s had a son, whom he was forced to abandon when escaping to a new life across the Atlantic after the nail-biting, catastrophic Series 3 finale.

These days, Joe goes by Professor Jonathan Moore, and is living it up in London town. Charlotte Ritchie’s character is savvy ice-queen and art gallery director Kate, part of a group of wealthy and privileged young Brits Joe gets tangled up with.

Not that long ago, the Disney Channel meant kids’ cartoons and shows about toothy pre-teens with crossover pop careers. Now, Disney+ (Hulu in the US) has a comedy series featuring a character named Jizzlord, and nothing means anything anymore. The term ‘Disney Adult’ may currently describe the kind of person who gets married in a Prince Eric wig on a cruise ship, but if this trend continues, we’re going to need it back.

Extraordinary is very definitely for adults. It’s an eight-episode London-set comedy with a filthy sense of humour and a rich premise. In its parallel world, everybody develops a superpower at 18. Flight, maybe, or super-strength, or invisibility… There are powers of the less classic variety too – the ability to summon sea life, say, or to turn anything (anything) into a Pdf. And then there’s Jen (Belfast’s Máiréad Tyers). She’s reached the age of...

HBO has ordered a comedy pilot about the making of a superhero movie, Variety has learned.

The half-hour pilot is titled “The Franchise.” It follows a hopeful crew trapped inside the dysfunctional, nonsensical, joyous hellscape of franchise superhero movie-making. If and when they finally make the day, the question they must face — is this Hollywood’s new dawn or cinema’s last stand? Is this a dream factory or a chemical plant?

According to an individual with knowledge of the project, Sam Mendes came up with the original idea for the show. The pilot story was written by Jon Brown, Keith Akushie and Armando Iannucci, with Brown and Akushie writing the pilot. Brown will also serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, with Akushie executive producing and writing. Marina Hyde is attached as writer and executive producer. Iannucci will executive produce via Dundee Productions. Mendes is attached to direct the...

‘I May Destroy You’ Producer Various Artists Behind BBC Hen Do Comedy

I May Destroy You producer Various Artists Limited has been greenlit for a BBC Two comedy about a hen weekend that goes wrong. Henpocalypse!, from Hullraisers creator Caroline Moran, takes five women who headed out on a weekend of a lifetime to celebrate Zara’s engagement only to be interrupted by the end of the world. They subsequently have to wait it out in an isolated holiday cottage in Wales and, emerging from quarantine into the harsh new post-apocalyptic world, find the male population has almost entirely been wiped out. BBC Head of Comedy Tanya Qureshi described the show as “very funny with an incredible collection of women at the heart of it.” Various Artists was behind Michaela Coel’s smash hit I May Destroy You for the BBC and HBO and has also produced British comedies including Sally4Ever and Dead Pixels.

Various Artists Limited (Val), the Emmy and BAFTA winning production company behind “I May Destroy You,” “Sally4Ever” and “Dead Pixels” has appointed Channel 4 commissioning editor Jack Bayles as head of comedy.

London-based Val was founded in 2017 by “Peep Show” co-creator Sam Bain and “Succession” showrunner Jesse Armstrong, together with producers and ex-Channel 4 commissioners, Phil Clarke and Roberto Troni.

Reporting into Clarke and based in London and Brighton, Bayles will join from August and will be responsible for overseeing Val’s comedy slate as well as developing new projects. He previously produced Channel 4’s hit comedy “Catastrophe” with Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, and in 2017 was appointed commissioning editor for the channel, where he was responsible for BAFTA winning “Stath Lets Flats,” “Derry Girls,” Aisling Bea’s “This Way Up,” “Michell & Webb’s Back,” “The Curse” and “Hullraisers.”

Bayles said: “Channel 4 comedy is a vital and precious voice in British comedy,...

I May Destroy You and Sally4Ever producer Various Artists Limited (Val) has hired Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Jack Bayles as its Head of Comedy.

Bayles will take up the role from August and will be based in London and Brighton. He’ll be responsible for overseeing Val’s comedy slate and developing new projects. Val said the exec, who has 20 years’ experience in comedy, will provide “creative leadership and artistic vision to the role.”

The company was founded in 2017 by Sam Bain, his writing partner and Succession creator Jesse Armstrong and a pair of former Channel 4 commissioners, Phil Clarke and Roberto Troni. Bayles will report to Clarke.

Tanya Qureshi was Val’s previous Head of Comedy until March 2021 but left to join the BBC.

Prior to Val, Bayles produced Channel 4 and Amazon comedy Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, and in 2017 was appointed Commissioning Editor for the broadcaster,...

Warning: contains spoilers for Inside No. 9 series six.

In series six, Inside No. 9 pulled off a diamond heist, explored obsessive geek fandom, framed a cuckold in an international conspiracy, let a grotesque true crime bleed from reality to fiction and back again, made a deal with the devil, and killed Jesus. Where, one might well ask, next?

Anywhere it wants, is the answer to that question. The BBC Two anthology series can float from location to location, story to story, unhampered by the need to put down roots in any one place. Series seven brings half a dozen brand new films to screen, scored by composer Christian Henson, and each one as different as the last.

The official synopsis describes the new episodes as taking us “from the Welsh valleys to an abandoned house, from kidnappers to detectives, and from a day trip out in a pedalo to a public information film.

Exclusive: Charlotte Ritchie, star of the British Ghosts series, is set as a new female lead opposite Penn Badgley in the upcoming fourth season of Netflix’s You.

You, based on Caroline Kepnes’ best-selling novel of the same name, revolves around the question, “What would you do for love?” The series stars Badgley in the role of Joe Goldberg, a man who will do just about anything when love is at stake.

Season 3 of the popular thriller series ended with Joe moving to Paris to search for Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) after an eventful finale we will not spoil.

Ritchie will play Kate. She’s smart, independent, suspicious, misses nothing. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, a brick wall to everyone else. The daughter of a chaotic, bohemian single mother, Kate worked hard to create the life she now leads. She’s an art gallery director whose job means managing tempestuous artists.

Jesse Armstrong had a great year. The “Succession” showrunner saw the third season of his HBO show air to continued acclaim, and it was renewed for a fourth season. And after the success of “I May Destroy You,” Armstrong’s Various Artists Ltd. — which produced the Michaela Coel miniseries — doubled its profits, according to a year-end report filed by the company.

The report, filed by Various Artists earlier this month with the U.K. government, shows the company more than doubled its post-tax profit for the fiscal year ending in March. It reported a profit of £2.6 million, compared to £1.2 million the prior year. The document singles out the success of “I May Destroy You” as a key performance indicator for the company founded in 2017.

“In particular, ‘I May Destroy You’ was one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed television shows in living memory, winning awards including 5 BAFTAs, 3 Rts awards and 2 Emmys.

Jesse Armstrong’s Various Artists Ltd has posted post-tax profits of £2.6 million ($3.5 million) following the success of “I May Destroy You.”

The profits for the year ending March 2021 are more than double those of the previous year, which amounted to £1.2 million ($1.6 million) according to Various Artist Ltd’s latest financial report, which was filed at the U.K.’s Companies House on Dec. 17.

Armstrong, who is also the showrunner for hit HBO series “Succession,” co-founded Various Artists Ltd in 2017 with his “Peep Show” collaborator Sam Bain and former Channel 4 commissioners Phil Clarke and Roberto Troni. (Various Artists Ltd does not produce “Succession.”)

BBC Studios own a minority stake in the company.

Various Artists Ltd’s year-end financial report credits “I May Destroy You,” which was written by and starred Michaela Coel, as one of the main drivers of the company’s “considerable success to date, relative to the short life of the company.

Like the one before it, 2021 was a year in which many of us saw more of our TVs than of our friends and loved ones. It was lucky then, that there was so bloody much of the stuff, despite the pandemic’s best efforts to shut it all down. They might have been delayed, they might have been curtailed, but they weren’t stopped. Returning British TV shows returned like spring lambs, gambolling over the horizon right into your living room.

There was comedy and drama, as well as crime thrillers by the lorryload, and sci-fi and fantasy coming by the… much smaller lorryload.

A Discovery of Witches Season 2 (January)

Based on Deborah Harkness’ All Souls trilogy about the forbidden love between a powerful witch and a centuries-old vampire, A Discovery Of Witches debuted on Sky in autumn 2018 (read our reviews here) and was renewed for series two and three almost straight away.

The CW is continuing to look abroad to solidify its schedule.

The youth-skewing network has picked up Italian drama series Leonardo, starring Poldark’s Aidan Turner, and Australian comedy drama Bump.

It comes after the broadcaster picked up Patrick Dempsey-fronted Italian series Devils as well as titles such as Canada’s Coroner and UK’s Dead Pixels. It also shares New Zealand comedy Wellington Paranormal, created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, with HBO Max.

Created by The X-Files’ Frank Spotnitz and Sherlock’s Steve Thompson, the hourlong Leonardo explores the secrets and drama behind the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, played by Turner. The eight-part series follows da Vinci as he grows into an unparalleled genius and renowned polymath whose work overturned the established order.

It also stars Matilda de Angelis, Freddie Highmore, Giancarlo Giannini, Carlos Cuevas, Alessandro Sperduti, James D’Arcy, Robin Renucci, Hugo Becker, Miriam Dalmazio and Max Bennet.

The CW is defecting from The Republic of Sarah, cancelling the freshman drama after just one season, TVLine has confirmed. The Sept. 6 episode will now serve as the series finale.

“I’m sad to say the news is not good. The Republic of Sarah will come to an end on Monday with what will now be our series finale,” creator Jeffrey Paul King wrote on Instagram on Thursday. “Thank you so much to everyone who watched and who let our little show into their lives. It means the world to us. Please tune in on Monday and help us say goodbye to Greylock.

Sunday night belonged to Big Brother and Celebrity Family Feud, which topped primetime ratings and viewership, respectively.

Big Brother returned slightly down in viewership from its previous episode on Thursday, but reined in Sunday ratings with a 1.0 in the 18-49 demo and 3.87 million viewers, per fast affiliates. The CBS reality series also rose one tenth in demo rating and about 4% in viewers from the previous Sunday.

ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud returned to its Sunday primetime slot victorious, marking the most-watched program of the evening. The game show’s latest episode, which featured Vivica A. Fox, Bill Bellamy and more, was also up from last Sunday.

Also in the 8-9 p.m. time slot, where the first hour of NBC’s America’s Got Talent programming, The Simpsons on Fox and a new installment of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow on the CW.

Larger viewership remained a thing of early primetime as the evening progressed.

The CW had a rough Sunday, with both “Wellington Paranormal” and “Dead Pixels” settling for 0.0 ratings last night. Up much higher on the Nielsen leaderboard were ABC and CBS, which pitted “Celebrity Family Feud” vs. “Big Brother.” ABC and CBS tied for first place in the key ratings demo. “Big Brother” was the only original show on CBS’s primetime schedule. ABC aired three hours of originals and one repeat. NBC and Fox both aired all reruns on Sunday. The CW was all original programming. ABC and CBS tied for first in ratings, both with a 0.5 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic.

Olympic athletes weren’t the only ones with a strong showing in Sunday as NBC’s coverage of the global sporting event keep its momentum going. NBC’s 2020 Olympics coverage was the highest rated and most-watched program Sunday, per Nielsen Live + Same Day Day fast affiliates.

Sunday’s Olympics programming drew in 15.5 million viewers and a 3.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic throughout Primetime.

Nothing says how crazy the latest TV season was as a result of Covid than looking at the schedule for The CW finales.

Finales traditionally air in May, leading into a depressing absence of original scripted programming for the summer months.

In 2021, The CW has managed the impossible -- finales for their biggest shows clear through summer.

The CW is making all kinds of progress in 2021. They've added several new shows, and they recently added Saturday night programming to their upcoming schedule.

Mind you, we have no idea what might air on Saturdays, but I expect some of their reality fare to launch the night, such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us or Whose Line Is It Anyway?

.

They're fun programs that you might want to watch in a crowd to keep the good times rolling.

There are several shows returning to The CW this summer.

The Outpost, Burden of Truth,...

Dead Pixels originates on Channel4 in the UK where it's already been renewed for a second season. The CW just licenses the show to air it in the United States. Will the ratings be strong enough for The CW to want to pick up season two or, will the show be cancelled for U.S. viewers? Stay tuned. Status Update Below.

A comedy fantasy series, Dead Pixels stars Alexa Davies, Will Merrick, Sargon Yelda, Charlotte Ritchie, David Mumeni, and Noush Skaugen. It revolves around a trio of friends and their passion for playing an Mmorpg (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). The show follows gamers Megan "Meg" Jeffries (Davies), Nicholas "Nicky" Kettle (Merrick), and Usman (Yelda) who are obsessed with the online fantasy game “Kingdom Scrolls.” Meg would happily cut a date short to go home and defend...

Is the first season of the Dead Pixels TV show on The CW a winner? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Dead Pixels is cancelled or renewed for season two (it's been renewed in the UK). Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Dead Pixels here. Status Update Below.

The CW has announced its Summer 2021 schedule. Due to the pandemic and the network's late start of the 2020-21 season, several typically regular-season series will air during the warmer months and into fall.

The new and returning shows you can expect to see are as follows: Burden of Truth, Coroner, DC's Stargirl, Dead Pixels, Masters of Illusion, Riverdale (season five resumes August 11th), Roswell, New Mexico, Supergirl (final/season six resumes August 24th), and Wellington Paranormal.

The CW's summer schedule will feature many returning shows.

The young-skewing network announced a string of premiere dates on Thursday while also delaying a couple of shows.

We'll start with Riverdale.

The teen drama is currently on hiatus but was set to return Wednesday, July 7.

Now, however, the hiatus has been lengthened, meaning the show is now set to return Wednesday, August 11.

No reason was given for the change, but it's possible the network wants to give Kung Fu an uninterrupted run.

The freshman drama starring Olivia Liang has been a huge ratings success for the network.

Another series delayed is In the Dark.

The third season was initially set for June 9, but it will now bow on June 26.

Meanwhile, Stargirl, which is now a CW-exclusive series, will return for its sophomore run Tuesday, August 10, where it will be paired with the final episodes of Superman & Lois Season 1.

Supergirl...

Riverdale will remain on pause longer than expected, while DC’s Stargirl‘s second season finally has a launch date.

In announcing its summer game plan on Thursday, The CW revealed that Season 5 of Riverdale — which was originally slated to resume on Wednesday, July 7 — is now set to return a month later, on Wednesday, Aug. 11.

Spring Premiere Dates As Networks...

Summer schedules are just heating up, so stay tuned for more

Spring only recently arrived, but broadcast TV networks are already looking to the summer, announcing which shows will premiere during what’s traditionally not a peak programming block for NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and The CW.

While it’s not exactly beach-front primetime real estate, plenty of hit shows still air in the warmer months — especially unscripted ones. This summer will see the returns of hit series like NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise,” plus the premieres of new shows like “The Republic of Sarah” on The CW and “Crime Scene Kitchen” on Fox.

See TheWrap’s roundup of broadcast TV’s summer premiere dates — so far — and check back regularly for updates as more are announced by Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC and The CW.

In today’s Global Bulletin, Steven Knight’s “Sas: Rogue Heroes” starts shooting, Agnieszka Holland’s “Charlatan” cleans up at Czech Lion Awards, BBC Comedy hires “I May Destroy You” producer Tanya Qureshi, Content Catalyst Fund adds executives and reveals slate and George Takei’s “Allegiance” streams on BroadwayHD.

Filming is underway on BBC One drama series “Sas: Rogue Heroes,” from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight. Based on Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, “Sas: Rogue Heroes” is a dramatized account of how a Special Forces unit, the Sas, was formed under extraordinary circumstances during WWII.

Peep Show, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong’s long-running Channel 4 comedy about flatmates Mark and Jez, exposed a great comic truth. By letting us eavesdrop on its characters’ inner monologues, it showed us that we’re all idiots on the inside. Petty, vain, furious, paranoid, self-congratulatory yet self-hating at the same time… Just like Mark and Jez, we may pretend to know what we’re doing, but really, we’re all just few inevitable steps away from eating dog meat on a barge.

Series one of E4 gamer flatshare comedy Dead Pixels – created by Jon Brown and executive produced by Bain and Armstrong – was built on a similar truth minus the façade of normality. Its leads were just as entertainingly idiotic as Mark and Jez, but their shared gaming obsession with Mmorpg Kingdom Scrolls stripped them of any fitting-in pretence. Meg and Nicky (Alexa Davies and Will Merrick) were...

If you ever worry that the hours you plough in to open world video games is time wasted, don’t sweat it. Every minute in a fantasy realm has actually been spent enrolled in a complex training simulation preparing you for the banal realities of 21st century life.

The creator of Dead Pixels – a comedy series about Meg and Nicky, two gamers utterly devoted to fictional fantasy Mmorpg Kingdom Scrolls – explains how online games have been stealthily shaping us for the real world through nine simple life lessons.

Lesson 1: Submit to the rules

Games basically train you to be a good functioning member of capitalist society, a good employee. You have to submit yourself to a rigid set of rules, learn what you’re not allowed to do and get on board with that, or you’re not going to get anywhere. Subvert the rules if you want to,...

The premiere week of the 2020-21 TV season was unlike any other.

Due to the massive impact of Covid-19, the week was packed with un-scripted fare, reruns, and broadcast debuts of series which already aired elsewhere.

Amongst the lack of original scripted content, “The Masked Singer” and the NFL emerged as clear winners. The whacky Fox singing competition series delivered a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 after seven days of delayed viewing. While that’s down a good chunk on last season, it still represents the largest non-football program of the week by some distance, and its +0.8 ratings growth was also by far and away the largest. “Sunday Night Football” came overall top with a 5.4.

The top scripted series of the week you ask? Well “The Simpsons” rolled back the clock for Fox, coming in with a 1.9 rating in Live+7, followed by “Family Guy” with a 1.1 and “Bob’s Burgers” with a...
