  1. NBC has cancelled freshman series Camp. The Rachel Griffiths-led summer dramedy premiered in July but failed to find an audience over the course of its 10-episode run. Co-star Nikolai Nikolaeff broke the news earlier today on Twitter, posting: "So... It was a great summer and I loved every minute of it. Sorry to all the @NBCCamp fans out there but no go on #CampSeason2. #upsetting." (Source: Twitter)
  2. It is being reported that CBS has renewed Unforgettable for a third season. The crime drama was previously cancelled after Season 1, but received new life after the network decided to un-cancel the series and bring it back during the summer with 13 episodes rather than its initial fall run of 22. The change appears to have been a success, as Season 3 of Unforgettable will be following suit with 13 new episodes expected to air in summer 2014. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)

This season the show has averaged an audience of 7.5 million viewers. No time frame has been announced for the show's fifth season return, but mid-September 2014 appears likely.

  8. Fans of AMC's The Killing will be saddened to hear that the series has been cancelled once again. The cable network has decided not to bring the crime drama back for a fourth season. Originally cancelled after Season 2, The Killing was revived after a strong backlash from fans when it was made known that a third season was not planned. Season 3 returned to decent ratings but ultimately ended flat compared with Season 2's numbers, which led to the show's cancellation in the first place. (Source: Deadline)

  10. Following Monday's strong Season 2 finale, word is out that the network liked what it saw and wants the drama to come back for more. And the news of the renewal comes straight from someone who should know, executive producer John Coveny. Coveny spoiled the A&E press release department's thunder and announced the good word on Twitter with the following: "Thanks to the 5 million plus weekly fans (live+7). Young and older skewing alike! The call just came: SEASON 3 for #Longmire is a GO!" (Source: Twitter)

  13. According to TMZ, sources revealed that Young’s body was discovered with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found by his landlord, after not showing up for work today on the set of TNT’s drama ‘Rizzoli & Isles.’ Further details have not been released.Before making a name for himself as Detective Barry Frost alongside Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander on ‘Rizzoli & Isles,’ Young was known as Jett Jackson on Disney’s ‘The Famous Jett Jackson.’ Young even wrote an episode of 'The Famous Jett Jackson,' proving his wit and talents behind the camera, as well. From that moment on, Young stole hearts as one of Disney’s top stars. Soon after the series ended, he moved on to other projects, including the 2004 movie ‘Friday Night Lights,’ but the small screen seemed to be what tugged at his acting talents. He was known for recurring on ‘Scrubs’ and ‘Smallville,’ in addition to starring on the short-lived ABC drama ‘FlashForward.’ Young knew he wanted to act since childhood; at age ten, he portrayed Martin Luther King, Jr. in a school play entitled 'A Night of Stars and Dreams.' Young moved to New York City in order to pursue his dream...one that he achieved, by all accounts. This promising career of this impressive talent has been tragically cut all too short. Young's publicist released the following statement to TMZ, “It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning ... Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed.”
  14. As first reported by TMZ, Kelly passed away in her sleep late Wednesday night. The actress checked herself into rehab last week to battle her addiction to alcohol and drugs. Kelly's agent told TMZ that Kelly was determined to clean herself up and live a sober life, prior to her untimely passing. She had reportedly fallen off the wagon recently after a dispute with her estranged husband, Robert Gilliam. Kelly's estranged husband beat her last May to obtain residual money from her show. He was convicted of domestic battery last month and sentenced to 3 years probation. He also served 35 days in jail for the beating. Kelly filed for divorce from her abusive husband back in July. The cause of Kelly's death, according to TMZ, is cardiac arrest. Kelly first broke into acting in an episode of 'Married with Children' in 1992. From there, she went on to appear in shows like 'Murphy Brown' and 'Charmed' before landing her role on the hit sitcom 'That '70s Show.' In 2010, Kelly was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol; her substance abuse issues became public record and she has appeared on many talk shows discussing her battles against addiction. Kelly was forty-three years old. Here is a clip from Kelly's most-successful television role, as Eric's (Topher Grace) older sister Laurie on 'That '70s Show:' http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jCHRkoMD3EM

  23. Famous for its torrid love triangles, gruesome violence, and tawdry sex scenes, True Blood isn't your typical vampire show. Currently five episodes into its sixth run, True Blood has been biting necks and cashing checks since 2008, and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. True Blood will return for a seventh season of ten episodes in summer 2014. While True Blood has seen a drop-off in critical praise the last few years, fan support seems to be nearly as strong as it's ever been. Hopefully the human/vampire war that appears to be brewing manages to end season six on a high note.
  24. Glau - widely known and praised for her roles in ‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles,’ ‘Firefly’ and ‘Dollhouse’ - will portray Isabel Rochev, the stunning, yet dangerous Vice President of Acquisitions for Stellmoor International, a company looking to take over Queen Consolidation. It looks like Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his family are going to have another villain to battle. No surprise there! Isabel is a direct adversary to Ollie, and you might recall seeing her name pop up on Robert Queen’s “list” - at least fans with great memories or fantastic eyesight do. DC Comics fans are surely anxious to see how Isabel will be portrayed. In the original comic book series, Isabel actually fell in love with Robert Queen, after he visited her Siberian village. After Robert’s death, Isabel was determined to make something of herself and became the CEO of Queen Industries, corrupted the city and made it her mission to kill Robert’s heir aka Oliver. No news if the hit series will include any plot points from the comic books, but the show has done so well that it surely won’t disappoint fans. Most recently, Glau has appeared on ‘Alpha’s,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Hawaii Five-0.’ The second season is set to premiere Wednesday, Oct. 9. Are you excited to see Glau battle it out with Oliver Queen?
  25. TNT announced on the 2nd that Falling Skies has been renewed for a fourth season.

The network has ordered 10 episodes for the show's fourth season to air in the summer of 2014. (Source: TNT)
