White Collar, The Comeback, more Game of Thrones, and more!

-USA has renewed White Collar for a six-episode 6th season and many in the TV news industry are saying that it will be its last season. They are usually right so,  I would start the grieving process now. I’ll let you know when the official word comes in that it will be the last season. The first 4 seasons are on Netflix. No word yet on on when they are filming or airing the “last” season. http://www.deadline.com/2014/03/usa-white-collar-six-episode-final-season/

-HBO is apparently planning on bring back the cult comedy The Comeback which stars Lisa Kudrow. It was only on for a season in 2005 but got nominated for three Emmy awards and HBO is doing an “Arrested Development” type deal and bringing it back now that it has a cult following. Deals are still in the works so there will be more on this when more news about it comes up. http://www.deadline.com/2014/03/comeback-lisa-kudrow-series-season-2-hbo-plan/

-ABC is launching another show to its Bachelor franchise which will air this summer. It’s called Bachelor in Paradise. It will be like Bachelor Pad but in a more tropical setting. It is expected to air after the summer run of The Bachelorette. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/21/abc-launching-another-summer-bachelor-spinoff-exclusive/

-Showtime’s Master of Sex has cast Danny Huston (American Horror Story, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) has a key role for season 2. He will play Dr. Douglas Greathouse, the privileged head of a hospital’s Obstetrics Department. As I said a few days ago, the second season beings production this spring for a fall premiere on Showtime. http://www.thewrap.com/masters-sex-casts-danny-huston-key-role-exclusive/

-David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the creators, writers, producers, directors, of the massively popular Game of Thrones on HBO have signed on for two more seasons of the show. The producers told EW that they suspect Game of Thrones will conclude after seven seasons. The fourth season of the show begins Sunday, April 6th at 9pm on HBO so set your DVRs! http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/21/game-of-thrones-showrunners/

-Patton Oswalt is coming to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He will appear in an upcoming episode as Agent Eric Koenig, who is part of Nick Fury’s team of WWII soldiers (at least in the original Marvel comics).
