IN THE NEWS

Discovery Communications stands alone in a bid for Scripps Networks Interactive. Viacom out of the picture, reports Reuters, and Discovery has entered exclusive talks for a deal that could be announced as early as net week. Scripps is reportedly looking to sell for a per-share acquisition price of over $90, in a deal would be valued at more than $12 billion. An agreement, however, is no sure thing – Discovery has held talks before to buy Scripps.

Showtime ordered 10 episodes of a half-hour satirical animated series centering on President Donald Trump and his family. Stephen Colbert is executive producing the project for premiere this fall. “I know a lot of people wanted to do this, and I’m honored the Cartoon President invited our documentary crew into his private world,” said Colbert. “I’ve seen some of the footage, and I look forward to sharing the man behind the MAGA.”

Pop star Katy Perry will host and perform at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live Sunday, August 27 at 8p on MTV. The news was announced via Perry’s Twitter account. “I’ve been training with MTV in zero gravity, eating astronaut ice cream, and I’m on a group text with Buzz Aldrin and Neil deGrasse Tyson,” said Perry. “Come August 27^th, I’ll be ready to be your MOONWOMAN! Brace for impact, kids.”

Krista Vernoff is checking back in to Grey’s Anatomy. Vernoff served as head writer and executive producer for the drama’s first seven seasons and will join the showrunning team of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers for season 14. The move is part of an overall deal with ABC Studios and fills the spot vacated by Stacy McKee, the writer, EP and co-showrunner who is heading to Grey’s firefighter spinoff slated to bow in 2018.

Nat Geo’s 8-part mini-series, The Long Road Home, offers an account of “Black Sunday,” the day of the deadly U.S. Cavalry Division platoon ambush in Iraq. ABC News reporter Martha Raddatz’s report on the disaster was the basis for the mini-series, and in the latest Cynsiders, Raddats explains why Nat Geo is the perfect place to share her story.

Outdoor Sportsmen Group‘s MyOutdoorTV acquired exclusive, global SVOD content from Sportsman Channel host Brian “Pigman” Quaca and Just Junie. The news follows recent acquisitions of Jim Shockey, the late Jose Wejebe and Heartland Bowhunter’s outdoor programming libraries.

AT THE TCA

Cynopsis caught up with Tracy Morgan, whose upcoming TBS comedy, The Last O.G., was inspired by his near-fatal car crash three years ago, at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. “I could’ve lost my life. So I’m here now, I want to do it right. And that’s what this show is based on. In the show [My character] says, ‘I’m going to do it right. I got a second chance,” Morgan tells Cynopsis, adding the idea for the series, about a prisoner released after 15 years who is shocked by the changes he sees in the outside world, came to him early in his recovery. “When I came out of the hospital I was home and I would look at the show on MSNBC called Lock Up Raw. And I started thinking, I got a second chance, and these people are incarcerated, and I just put the two together. It was a germ of an idea. I would watch Key & Peele, because my brain doctor said you’ve got to watch stuff that makes you laugh. And I got to meet Jordan Peele, and I pitched him this idea about redemption and him and John Carcieri came up with something brilliant. And voila.” Peele and Carcieri serve as vice principals on the show. The Last O.G. debuts Tuesday, October 24 at 10p and 10:30p.

Turner saved news of the season 3 renewal of TNT’s Animal Kingdom for TCA. “Animal Kingdom has earned its place among a very select group of cable dramas that continue to grow audiences,” noted Sarah Aubrey, EVP, original programming for the net. The show is averaging 4.8 million viewers per episode across the net’s platforms and is one of basic cable’s Top 10 returning dramas among A18-49 for the year-to-date. Also picked up: a fourth season of Angie Tribeca on TBS for 2018.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and male lead Chris Pine are reteaming for TNT drama One Day She’ll Darken. The news was announced at Turner ‘s TCA session on Thursday. The network issued a straight-to-series order to the six-episode hour-long show from author Sam Sheridan. Jenkins is set to direct the pilot and potentially other episodes, as well as serve as EP. Pine and Sheridan serve as EPs. The series is inspired by the autobiography of Fauna Hodel, a white woman who was given up by her teenage birth mother and raised by an African American family.

TNT and TBS president Kevin Reilly updated the status of new TNT drama Will and TBS comedy Wrecked, which debuted last summer. Reilly said “it’s looking good” for a second season renewal for the plane crash comedy. The future of young Shakespeare series, Will, however, is tentative after a soft linear premiere, with 633,000 total viewers and a 0.16 A18-49 rating in Live+SD. Reilly noted that Will is an expensive show to produce, and “I don’t know where we go from here….”

As for TBS’s Drop the Mic, which started as a rap face-off between James Corden and Anne Hathaway, the encounter “was one of those things that sort of blew up and we knew there was a series in it,” said Late Late Show and Drop the Mic EP Ben Winston at TCA. Dream guests? “I’d love to see Judi Dench versus Maggie Smith, dame and dame, going at it,” said Corden. Series premieres later this year.

Amy Sedaris was on hand to talk up truTV’s upcoming spoof At Home with Amy Sedaris, in which she’ll play multiple characters who sometimes offer homemaking tips. “I don’t know how much you’re actually going to learn,” said the actress/author/comedian. “But I’ll tell you, I’m doing my best.” Series premieres Tuesday, October 24 at 10:30p.

Also on truTV: The net debuted the trailer for The Problem with Apu, a comedic cultural expose from comedian Hari Kondabolu that accuses Apy Nahasapeemapetilon, aka the Kwik-E-Mart owner and father of octuplets on The Simpsons, as being a racist portrayal. Interviewed are Kal Penn (Designated Survivor), Aasif Mandvi (The Daily Show), Maulik Pancholy (Star Trek: Discovery), Sakina Jaffrey (House of Cards) and Whoopi Goldberg. Kondabolu acknowledges he’ll be criticized for being a PC “snowflake” and told to “let it go,” to which he responds, “I have let it go – for 28 years.”

It’s TGIF all over again on Hulu starting September 29, when one-time ABC comedy block staples Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Perfect Strangers and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper start streaming via an excusive SVOD deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Distribution. “These shows are more than just beloved hits, they were part of a cultural tradition to tune in every Friday night,” said Craig Erwich, Hulu’s SVP Content. “Now, it can be Friday any day of the week on Hulu.”

Hulu also picked up Harlots for a second season, set to launch in 2018, and announced a documentary about iconic doll Barbie that includes an interview with Gloria Steinem, among others. Written and directed by Andrea Nevins (Play It Forward), it explores the doll’s origins and what she represents today. The untitled project is due in 2018.

Hulu also announced that all episodes of Future Man will be released at once. “Who wants to wait for things? The world could end,” pointed out director and producer Seth Rogen. “The idea of having a serialized comedy that has a lot of plot and story coming out in one big chunk was an exciting prospect.” Comedy drops – all of it – on November 14.

A first look at HBO’s upcoming drama The Deuce at TCA revealed a gritty take on the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in NY’s Times Square from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s. “It would be a mistake to look at this film and think we were in any way trafficking in misogynistic or sexual objectification as one of the currencies driving the show,” said EP David Simon. “It’s not one of the currencies driving the show… it’s what the show is about.”

Settle down, said HBO programming head Casey Bloys over backlash following the announcement of a series pick-up for Confederate, an alt-history drama depicting what life in the U.S. would be like if the South had successfully seceded from the Union. “The producers have said it will not look like Gone With the Wind 2017,” assured Bloys. “It’s not whips and plantations. It’s what they imagine a modern-day institution of slavery would look like.” That said, “We could have done a better job with the press release,” acknowledged the exec. “There was no benefit of context.”

Do you think criticism of Confederate is fair? Let us know in the new Cynopsis poll: http://cynopsis.com/poll/

Bloys said he’s “hopeful” about a second season of Big Little Lies. In April, author Lianne Moriarity said she had started to think of ways the series could continue. “These characters have lives past the book as written, so we’ll see,” said Bloys.

Jon Stewart has two HBO dates coming up: his first stand-up special there since 1996, and host of the Night of Too Many Stars benefit for NEXT for Autism on November 18. “We’re excited to bring Jon to the network with this pair of specials,” said Bloys. “We’ve all missed his uniquely thoughtful brand of humor.”

As for the animated project HBO had planned with Stewart that was canceled in May, Bloys said, “In terms of quality control and the writing, when you’re putting something out 100 times a day, the quality control has to be there. That combined with the animation turnaround and our distribution, is this worth his time? Is it worth our time?”

HBO unveiled upcoming documentaries Brillo Box (Monday, August 7), following an Andy Warhol work; Clinica de Migrantes (Monday, September 25) about a volunteer health clinic; Spielberg (Saturday, October 7) focused on the filmmaker; and an untitled Rolling Stone documentary and Baltimore Rising, focused on the city in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray, both premiering in November.

HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm returns Sunday, October 1 after an extended break for season 9, with appearances by Elizabeth Banks, Ed Begley, Jr., Carrie Brownstein, Bryan Cranston, Lauren Graham, Jimmy Kimmel, Nick Offerman, Nasim Pedrad and Elizabeth Perkins. But actress Susie Essman was focused on the room full of reporters. “You guys sit here all day doing this?” she marveled. “Jesus f—-ing Christ.”

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Jennifer Aniston is heading back to the small screen. The Friends alum and Reese Witherspoon are set to star in a series about TV morning shows, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The untitled series, spearheaded by Michael Ellenberg, former HBO head of drama, is expected to be shopped to premium cable outlets like HBO and streamers like Netflix. Jay Carson (House of Cards) is attached to write the script.

AMC is developing 1990s Chicago drama Gang Leader for a Day from Ben Watkins (Hand of God), Ed Burns and Radar. Based on Sudhir Venkatesh’s best-selling book, the project centers on an ambitious young grad student who enters the nation’s largest public housing project to conduct a survey about what it means to be black and poor in America. Written by Watkins, Burns will EP and act in a supporting role.

Showtime picked up 1990s Boston crime drama pilot City on a Hill, executive produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and written by Chuck MacLean (Boston Strangler). “Chuck wrote a pressure cooker of a script steeped in the tribal codes of a Shakespeare play – family, blood, betrayal, honor. His take on the ties that bind is handled with a deep honesty and insight,” said director and EP Gavin O’Connor (The Accountant).

DIY Network greenlit Lawn & Order, starring landscaping experts Chris Lambton and Sara Bendrick. The duo helps homeowners tame overgrown lawns and improve tired exteriors to attract potential buys. Series is slated to debut in April 2018.

Van Jones and Charles D. King’s Macro joined forces to produce Indivisible (wt), an hour long drama that takes a fresh approach to Washington dynamics as it follows an unlikely young couple who come to occupy the White House. Production begins in 2018.

COMING UP

Smithsonian Channel airs The Lost Tapes: Son of Sam on Sunday, July 30 at 9p. “The Lost Tapes: Son of Sam plunges us back in time, so that we experience events unfold, unfiltered, as if we were there,” David Royle, EVP of Programming and Production, tells Cynopsis. “There are no interviews, no voice-overs, no reactions; just raw footage. It’s mesmerizing… not simply because it’s about a notorious murderer, but because it evokes the dark, steamy New York of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver – while conveying the indomitable spirit of New Yorkers and some of the larger-than-life personalities of the time, such as newsmen Jimmy Breslin and Geraldo Rivera. Director Tom Jennings does a masterful job. He doesn’t tell the audience what to think, he trusts us to draw our own conclusions.”

CNN and Volvo are partnering to live-stream the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday, August 21 as it crosses from coast to coast, via 360-degree video and VR. Covering the once-in-a-lifetime (unless you’re Olivia de Havilland) event makes sense for news net CNN, but what’s the tie-in for the car company? “Volvo’s first 360-degree camera was introduced in the award-winning XC90, and it will be among the best-in-class in the all-new XC60,” said Bob Jacobs, VP of marketing, product and brand communication for Volvo Car USA. “We felt a 360-degree view of the eclipse was a great way to celebrate this feature.”

Another automaker, Jeep, will be one of the sponsors (along with DISH) of The Weather Channel’s extensive coverage of the solar eclipse. The net will have meteorologists fanned out in different time zones broadcasting live, including on an Alaska Airlines flight that will follow the eclipse from 35,000 feet. Using its augmented and mixed reality technology, the net will also take viewers “inside” the event. Programming starts at 6a.
