Showtime has ordered 12-episodes of "Billions," starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis

This sounds very, very good

....and FOX is bringing back "The X-Files" for a 6-episode "event series" run

I need to bingewatch a lot of X-Files quickly, and painfully given how bad I remember the latter seasons being.

[thatshortguy]

HBO has canned "Looking", but they will do a special feature as a send-off.

[RPS]

So sad

I searched and couldn't find it being mentioned anywhere. I just found out that it was announced at the end of January that a second season of Axe Cop is to be broadcast on FXX starting April 16th.

I don't even need to know the premise of Billions, I'm sold on that pair alone.

Also, excellent news for X-Files. I'm glad they're only doing six episodes for now, I feel like that'll really work for some interconnected episodes.

[Benji]

12 Monkeys first ep started well, but got silly fast. Is the rest of it more like the first half or second half of that ep?

Edit: Eww, just read it was written by someone who wrote Terra Nova, another interesting time travel show that fucked up its concept. Shan't bother.

[livid]

They were staff writers on Terra Nova, not the people running the show.

The pair sold me on the show as well. But apparently the show is being run by the guys who did "Too Big Too Fail" which was a great TV movie

...and from the "Because NBC has to show something other than 'The Voice' and 'The Blacklist'," files...

Coach is coming back with Craig T. Nelson starring

I just hope we get one more Bill Fagerbakke saying "Hey, Coach..."

[Benji]

Just saw an ad for Wayward Pines, looks really good.

[C-MIL]

Is anybody else keeping up with Last Man On Earth?

[GoGo Yubari]

Is anybody else keeping up with Last Man On Earth?

I'm a couple episodes behind. I like it but I've got too much shit to watch as it is.

[edcq]

Is anybody else keeping up with Last Man On Earth?

Really enjoyed this so far. Will Forte is amazing.

[Benjamin]

Wow, the Last Man on Earth is doing an amazing job of making Phil be absolute batshit crazy and yet still be sympathetic. I love it.

[RPS]

Going Clear was amazing. I already knew bits and pieces of the movie (I was less informed about the crazy Sea Org days), but my husband was shocked at the things he was hearing.

[thatshortguy]

Those of you who follow dis bidniss more than I: odds that The Following gets canned after this season?

Also, per IGN: HBO Now hits April 12th, available on iOS devices first, April is free for those who sign up.

[livid]

It'll be around for as long as Kevin Bacon wants to do it, really.

I read the book. Miscavige as a complete and utter maniac who basically stole Scientology from Hubbard is quite interesting.

[MalaCloudy Black]

The Following should have been shitcanned after its first miserable season, but it apparently gets fairly decent ratings.

While it's not unusual for shows to be left waiting right up until May, I figured it would have been re-upped pretty soon.
