    Netflix have no rights to Person of interest as such. Person of Interest is not exclusive to Netflix like how Once upon a time, Better Call Saul or Pretty Little Liars is. Its just one show of many they happen to stream. In terms of television rights, the show belongs Channel 5.

    Well it's just strange that Netflix has the whole of season 3 of Person Of Interest available to watch before Channel 5 has even finished showing the third season on its channel!

    Most shows that Netflix don't have exclusive rights to tend to air on TV channels first.However at the moment you can watch episodes of the third season of Person Of Interest on Netflix before they have been shown on Channel 5!

    I thought they'd taken that as far as they could anyway TBH.

    I wasn't even aware they were even thinking about another series.

    Well the show's future is not entirely in Netflix's hands. Netflix do pay half the costs and have allowed it to build an international fanbase. But they do not own the show as such. The norwegian company that own it are looking for a new home.

    Thanks for the info. I love this show- even thought about going to Norway for a holiday because of it, :)

    Banshee is to end after season 4. According to the showrunners there's no more story to tell.

    I think that is their excuse, probability is Cinemax told them season 4 would be the last (after reducing it to 8 episodes). Prepare for main cast demises in the final season. :) Any bets on who is the first to die a gruesome death?

    Welcome To Sweden cancelled after two seasons.

    For similar reasons as Lilyhammer, the show might not be completely dead yet – NBC only broadcast it in the US, its produced/owned by Entertainment One and Swedish company Syskon, meaning it’s actually a Swedish sitcom, not an American one.

    Having said that, despite the success of the first season in Sweden the ratings have been poor for the second season, so without the money from NBC I suspect Entertainment One/Syskon won’t see it as financially viable to continue.

    I agree. I think the show was banking on the US success, especially as the lead actor and creator is american and the brother of Amy Poehler who also works with NBC as well.

    I started to watch season one, but after a few episodes I found that the humour wore very thin for me.

    At least it sounds like Greg Poehler, the creator and lead, is taking it well by saying he admits it received "craptastically" low ratings on NBC.

    NBC hasn't had the best luck with the international co-production model of programme making in the last year or so with the likes of Dracula, Taxi Brooklyn, and now Welcome to Sweden all being cancelled after just a handful of episodes.

    This is odd. It was confirmed less than an hour ago that Scream was renewed for a second season. But it was confirmed 3 weeks ago that it was renewed at it's comic con panel, but all the news sites are all over it like it's fresh news.

    The first season isn't bad, but after that it gets worse.

    Interesting stuff. I'd worry that a full 22 episode order for iZombie might dilute it too much in to 'case of the week' territory. I know it's a lot like that at the moment, but the back story has been well put together and is quite compelling.

    Too many episodes might mean a few too many unrelated case of the week episodes I suppose.

    I agree. I think iZombie suited it's short season. Sleepy Hollow suffered massively when it was given 18 episodes for it's second season. This could of allowed them to have standalone episodes but it was eighteen episodes of full of arc crap which is why it lost half it's audience and why it is going under a major revamp for season 3. I find 22 episodes of full on arc heavy stuff very exhausting, which is why i dislike many of the sci-fi/supernatural shows of today as neither of them have standalone episodes (gotham, shield, grimm, the flash/arrow etc) Unless they are going to add filler standalone episodes that take a breather from the main arc to spread it out like Fringe did, then I am welcome to it.

    Imagine if shows like Penny dreadful or Game of thrones had double the amount. It would be mentally exhausting. Both those shows excel with just 10 episodes.

    Why must everything be episodic these days? I miss the standalone days of X Files, Buffy, Star trek, Stargate etc.

    Personally I'd prefer all shows were 13 eps. Hopefully we Wouldn't have mid season breaks then either.
