Cancel and Renewal Wrap: 18th March 2011 - The Office, Community and Parks and Rec renewed! (!!!)

And now for the news of the year...

NBC has renewed three of its most critically acclaimed shows, and in order of acclaim, here they are;

Parks and Recreation has been renewed for a THIRD SEASON.

Community has been renewed for a THIRD SEASON.

The Office has been renewed for a whopping EIGHTH SEASON.

However, in terms of which shows were expected to be renewed,  the Office was probably most likely, with Community the least. However, it is great news regardless.

The US version of Being Human has also been granted a SECOND SEASON (it airs on Syfy). This of course follows the news of the renewal of its UK counterpart.

Renewal and Cancellation Wrap: Tuesday

A couple of interesting renewals today, and some not so interesting ones, but not entirely unexpected.

RENEWALS

ABC has renewed The Bachelor for a SIXTEENTH SEASON. But it gets worse...

ABC has also renewed The Bachelorette for a SEVENTH SEASON.

The UK version of Being Human has also been renewed for a FOURTH SEASON, with the US version still tracking along in its first season.

CANCELLATIONS

Still in the UK, sci-fi series Outcasts has been cancelled after its FIRST SEASON.

UH OH

And while not entirely cancelled, No Ordinary Family is heading south rapidly, with news that Julie Benz has booked a role in a new supernatural medical drama on CBS, no less. This in conjunction with her co-lead, Michael Chiklis similarly starring in another pilot, means that either they know something that we don't yet, or they are predicting the worst (or they could just be hedging their bets).

However, you have to ask yourself about how the show must be tracking if the leads are sniffing around elsewhere.
