For just about any kid who hopes for a visit from Santa Claus, being put on the "naughty list" is the ultimate fear. But for these nine children, that only inspires them to pull off the greatest heist in North Pole history. This is the basis for the Disney Channel’s upcoming Christmas movie, The Naughty Nine.

The movie stars Winslow Fegley as Andy, a kid who is, by all accounts, too smart for his own good. When he wakes up one morning to find that Santa stood him up, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He puts together a team of equally outraged fellow naughty-listers: his best friend Dulce (Camila Rodriguez), tech wiz Lewis (Anthony Joo), animal whisperer Rose (Clara Stack), disguise expert Jon Anthony (Deric McCabe), “innocent” Albert (Ayden Elijah), and getaway driver Ha-Yoon (Imogen Cohen). Andy's sister Laurel (Madilyn Kellam) also joins in the hijinks,...

“68 Whiskey” has been canceled at Paramount Network after one season, according to Deadline.

The military medic comedy-drama series from Brian Grazer and Ron Howard finished airing in March. It’s currently streaming on CBS All Access.

The series, from Imagine Television Studios and CBS TV Studios, was based on the Israeli TV show “Charlie Gulf One.” It was written and created by Roberto Benabib. Season one, which premiered in January, got a favorable 88% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but only 38% from audiences.

Reps for Paramount network did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.

“68 Whiskey” was similar to “M*A*S*H” in that it followed a diverse group of Army medics who are deployed to a base in Afghanistan nicknamed “The Orphanage.” According to Paramount, the characters relied “on their bonds, various vices and determination to help them navigate a dangerous, and occasionally absurd, world.

It's the end of the line for another TV show, we're sad to report. 

The latest casualty is Paramount Network's 68 Whiskey, which has been canceled after a single season on the cable network. 

Deadline first reported the news. 

An adaptation of the Israeli series Charlie Golf One, 68 Whiskey followed a multicultural band of Army medics stationed in Afghanistan on a base nicknamed "The Orphanage."

Paramount Network has 86’d 68 Whiskey, cancelling the dark military comedy after one season.

Starring Sam Keeley (Dublin Murders), Jeremy Tardy (Dear White People), Gage Golightly (Teen Wolf), Cristina Rodlo (The Terror Season 2), Beth Riesgraf (Leverage), Lamont Thompson (NCIS: LA), Nicholas Coombe (Imaginary Mary) and Derek Theler (Baby Daddy), 68 Whiskey followed a multicultural mix of men and women deployed as Army medics to a forward operating base in Afghanistan nicknamed “The Orphanage.” Together, they endure “a dangerous and Kafkaesque world that leads to self-destructive appetites, outrageous behavior, intense camaraderie and, occasionally, a profound sense of purpose,” says the synopsis.

Pour one out for “68 Whiskey.”

Paramount Network has canceled the dark comedy after a single season, Variety has confirmed. News of the cancelation comes around six months after the show wrapped its 10-episode run.

Blending drama with humor, “68 Whiskey” followed a multicultural band of Army medics stationed in Afghanistan on a base nicknamed “The Orphanage.” Together, the medics navigate a dangerous and sometimes absurd world, relying on comradery, various vices, and occasionally a profound sense of purpose to carry them through. The show starred Sam Keeley, Jeremy Tardy, Gage Golightly, Cristina Rodlo, Beth Riesgraf, Lamont Thompson, Nicholas Coombe and Derek Theler.

“68 Whiskey” hailed from Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and their Imagine Television banner. The duo served as executive producers on the project, alongside series creator and writer Roberto Benabib. Howard was originally lined up to direct the pilot, but that responsibility eventually fell to Michael Lehmann.

Exclusive: Paramount Network has opted not to pick up a second season of comedic drama 68 Whiskey, an adaptation of the Israeli TV series Charlie Golf One.

The show, from Imagine Television Studios and CBS TV Studios, was well received with a 88% fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating. It also got off to a strong TV ratings start, with the January 15 premiere drawing 2 million viewers in Live+3 Nielsen numbers to mark the most-watched cable drama series premiere in the metric since November 2018. Following the promising premiere the ratings slipped, however, and overall the series ranked outside of the Top 100 in total viewers, adults 18-49 and 25-54 year-to-date (Live+3).

68 Whiskey‘s cancellation leaves powerhouse Yellowstone as Paramount Network’s only current original scripted series. The net’s dramedy Emily In Paris recently relocated to Netflix. Paramount Network earlier this year gave a series order to drama Coyote starring Michael Chiklis.

Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Paramount Network series, 68 Whiskey, will manifest as a military dramedy.

68 Whiskey is ready to make its mark as the next blue-chip television offering on the rebranded-from-Spike-tv and still-burgeoning Paramount Network, set as the first original series to accompany its hit drama, Yellowstone.

The series, an Americanized adaptation of Israeli television offering Charlie Golf One, is a modern military dramedy that arrives under the auspices of executive producers in Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. Of course, 68 Whiskey will immediately evoke the memory of M*A*S*H., since, like that classic series, it centers on the daily travails (and hijinks) of military combat medics – in this case stationed in Afghanistan. Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios are producing the series.

Together, the medics navigate a dangerous and sometimes absurd world, relying on camaraderie, various vices, and, occasionally, a profound sense of purpose to carry them through.

On American Gods, the only thing that can kill a God is another God, but the only thing that truly kills a God is lack of believers.

This American Gods review contains spoilers.

American Gods Season 2 Episode 6

It's hard to see the true person behind the character being played by Wednesday. He talks fast, he's charming, he's glib, and he’s funny. But behind that mask of humor is a core of what seems to be actual pain, as Odin's time in America isn't without trouble and loss. Granted, it's trouble of his own making, but at the same time, the Allfather's experiences as an actual father have brought him significant pain, as explicitly shown during “Donar the Great” and hinted at in previous episodes.

Wednesday's past as a burlesque leader named Al Grimnir is an amusing nod to both one of Odin's many names (Grimnir) and Ian McShane's most famous non-Lovejoy character,...

It seems Squirrel Girl is out of her tree, at least temporarily. Although they picked up the 10-episode first season of Marvel's New Warriors TV show back in April of 2017, Freeform has now cancelled its order for the half-hour live-action superhero comedy. THR reports that since Freeform has declined to move forward with New Warriors, Marvel is shopping the series to other outlets in preparation for a 2018 release. Marvel's New Warriors centers on "...six young people learning to cope with their abilities in a world where bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates." The last we heard, the cast includes Milana Vayntrub as Doreen Green a.k.a Squirrel Girl; Derek Theler as Craig Hollis a.k.a Mister Immortal; Jeremy Tardy as Dwayne Taylor a.k.a Night Thrasher; Calum Worthy as Robbie Baldwin a.k.a Speedball; Matthew Moy as Zack Smith...

“New Warriors” is on the move. The live-action comedy series centered on the Marvel comics heroes will not air on Freeform as originally planned, TheWrap has learned. “New Warriors,” which had been set for a 2018 debut, is currently getting shopped to other networks and platforms. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the project will also not move to Disney’s in-the-works streaming service as has been reported by other media outlets.

Marvel's has been developing a series adaptation of their comic New Warriors and it was originally set to air on Freeform. That's all changed now. The series will no longer air on Freeform and according to THR, Marvel is now trying to find a new home for it.

Apparently, Freeform couldn't seem to find a slot in their schedule for next year to fit the show into. Marvel has screened the pilot episode for test audiences already and according to the report, it's testing through the roof and has caught the attention of high-level Disney executives. That's a good sign! Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Entertainment said:

"We are extremely excited about Marvel’s New Warriors and look forward to finding the perfect partner to launch the series with in 2018.

According to inside sources, Disney isn't letting Marvel shop the project around to networks outside of the Disney organization, which...

Legendary character actor Keith David has joined the cast of Marvel's upcoming series New Warriors! This will reunite David with showrunner Kevin Biegel. They worked together on the 2014 series Enlisted.

According to THR, David will take on the role of Ernest Vigman, "a caustic municipal employee who butts up against the hopeful energy of the new warriors." This will be a reoccurring role in the series. I'm such a huge fan of David and his work whose film career pretty much started with John Carpenter's The Thing.

David will join Milana Vayntrub (This Is Us) as Squirrel Girl; Derek Theler (Baby Daddy) as Mister Immortal; Jeremy Tardy (Dear White People) as Night Thrasher; Calum Worthy (Austin and Ally) as Speedball; Matthew Moy (Two Brok Girls) as Microbe; Kate Comer as Debrii.
