First the not-so-good: The Hollywood Reporter reports that Fox has cut back its order for The Return of Jezebel James from 13 eps to a mere seven.
Jezebel’s the show starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose (of Six Feet Under fame)—Posey’s an overachieving New York career woman who finds out she can’t give birth and asks her estranged slacker sister (Ambrose) to do it for her.
Gilmore Girls’ former head honchos Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino are the executive producers for Jezebel.
But fans of Back to You and K-Ville have something to look forward to, according to Variety.
says. K-Ville has gotten an order for two more scripts (beyond the initial 13), despite relatively poor ratings. Back to You is expected to get a full-season pickup possibly this week.
Surprising, perhaps, for K-Ville, which hasn’t gotten very good ratings nor very good reviews. But with a writer’s strike looming at the end of the month, perhaps Fox is just trying to get as much original programming in hand; easier to get extra scripts of a series already on the air than start new ones? We’ll see.
