ABC is passing on its pilots.
The network has passed on Anthony Anderson-fronted Public Defenders and Ellie Kemper-led Keeping It Together, which is a remake of British comedy Motherland, as well as dramas The Hurt Unit, starring Melissa George and Ben McKenzie, and Judgement starring Sex/Life’s Sarah Shahi.
ABC Signature is, however, planning to shop The Hurt Unit to other networks and platforms, while 20th Television will be shopping Public Defenders and Judgement.
The move comes as it still has decisions to make on series Home Economics and The Rookie: Feds as well as The Good Lawyer, which was a backdoor pilot spinoff of The Good Doctor.
Last month, ABC handed a series order to Drew Goddard’s pilot High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson. The project, which is based on the popular French detective series Hip, was the clear front-runner all development season.

The hit Netflix series Sex/Life is back for a second season — and fans just can’t get enough of the red-hot chemistry between Billie, played by Sarah Shahi, and Brad, portrayed by Adam Demos. However, it isn’t just Shahi and Demos that have made the show a hit. Sex/Life is full of talented supporting actors, including Margaret Odette as Billie’s best friend, Sasha Snow. As Sasha, Odette has her fair share of steamy scenes. In a recent interview, Odette opened up about what it is like to film sex scenes, admitting that one sequence, in particular, stands out in her mind.

For two seasons now, housewife Billie (Sarah Shahi) has been slowly losing the life she once knew in favor of chasing the high of her sexually adventurous youth. In Netflix's "Sex/Life," Billie finds herself torn between her reliable husband Cooper (Mike Vogel), and Brad (Adam Demos), the hunky Australian ex who wanders back into her life. Later, when the romantic house of cards she's built tumbles down completely, she ends up hooked on a new man, restaurant owner Majid (Darius Homayoun). "Sex/Life" definitely isn't Netflix's best show, but plenty of fans still like the "Sex and The City"-style series because it's a reliably steamy adult-oriented romance.
Apparently, though, Billie's wild ride has come to an end. Variety is reporting that the Stacy Rukeyser-created show "Sex/Life" has been canceled after just two seasons. Luckily, though, the show actually wrapped up most of its major plotlines in its latest season finale.

Sex/Life has been cancelled by Netflix days after the show’s star Sarah Shahi criticised the “gimmicky” second season.
Following the viral success of season one in 2021, Netflix’s erotic thriller returned for a second season in March. Shahi returned as series lead Billie Connelly, while Mike Vogel and Adam Demos (Shahi’s real-life partner) came back as the two men she is in a love triangle with.
However, in a recent interview, Shahi claimed that she was not happy with the second season of the drama and had not received the same levels of “support”.
“I mean, I’m never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can’t lie,” she said.

Netflix‘s Sex/Life has been canceled after delivering its long-awaited second season starring Sarah Shahi, Adam Demos, Margaret Odette, and Mike Vogel. The series focused on a love triangle between Shahi’s Billie, her husband Cooper (Vogel), and her past, all while taking a provocative new look at female identity and desire. After debuting in June of 2021, viewers were eager for the show’s return which didn’t take place until the beginning of March 2023. It seems that the lengthy waiting period didn’t do the show any favors, as it likely contributed to its Season 2 performance. But while viewership is likely a factor in the show’s fate, Shahi recently spoke out about her Season 2 experience and how it differed from the supportive one she had during Season 1. (Credit: Sabrina Lantos/Netflix) Speaking on Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on Tuesday, April 4, Shahi said the production was a “challenge.

Netflix has canceled its drama series Sex/Life after two seasons.
The decision comes five weeks after the show’s second season (consisting of six episodes, down from eight in season one) debuted — and three weeks after star Sarah Shahi signed on to star in Judgement, a legal drama in contention for next season at ABC.
Season two brought an ending of sorts to the story as Shahi’s Billie reunited with her ex, Brad (Adam Demos), and got married on a beach. Showrunner Stacy Rukeyser, however, told The Hollywood Reporter that she didn’t view the last episode as the end of the series.
“The episode was never intended to be a series finale, that’s for sure,” Rukeyser told THR a week after season two premiered. “I know there are always more stories to tell with these characters in the Sex/Life universe, and I hope we get the chance to tell those stories.

Steven Yeun and Ali Wong grill up some juicy Beef in Netflix’s latest dramedy after an incident on the road changes the lives of their characters in ways you can’t imagine. And what unravels in Netflix’s 10-episode series (all of which is now available to stream) is so funny, so dramatic and so tragic that it borders on absurdity in the best possible way.
In the premiere, we meet Danny Cho (Yeun) in the middle of a rough day. After failing to return some hibachi grills (for the third time apparently) and enduring massive judgment from a store clerk,...

Sara Shahi can currently be seen in the second season of seductive Netflix hit “Sex/Life”, and during an appearance on the “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast she opened up about how reading the script for the pilot episode gave her the “courage” to end her marriage to “Shameless” star Steve Howey.
“I was just questioning everything. As a wife and as a mom, you get told, ‘Well, but you have it good. You have it good,'” she said, as reported by People. “I just felt so unseen. … [‘Sex/Life’] gave me the courage to say, ‘I’m not happy. And I feel like we should as individuals have the right to be happy.'”
According to Shahi, the arrival of their children — William, 13, and twins Violet and Knox, 8 — led to some unforeseen changes in their marriage.

Sarah Shahi got candid about Sex/Life’s second season on Netflix and how it was more challenging for her than the first one was.
In an appearance on the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, the Black Adam star said she didn’t want to put the show down but that she struggled with the material and the people involved in the show.
“I definitely did not have the support that I did the first season,” Shahi said. “It became a much different thing for me, and I’m not afraid to say that. I struggled with the material.… I mean, I’m never going to work for Netflix again now after saying all this. I just can’t lie.”
Despite her struggles on the show’s sophomore run that debuted last month, the actress explained that a lot of the show’s themes — second chances, romance, divorce, co-parenting — still really resonated with her.

Keri Russell’s new Netflix series is called The Diplomat, but it seems there’s more than one diplomat in this household.
The streamer has released a trailer for the political drama — which you can watch above — with Russell (The Americans) starring as Kate Wyler, the newly named U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. In her new role, she has to navigate tricky international relationships and a brewing military crisis overseas.

Hey, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. So in Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy, it shouldn’t have come as any surprise to Simone that Lucas took someone else to bed. She did, after all, accept jerky ex-fiancé Trey’s marriage re-proposal last week. (Read that recap here.)
In other twists of plot, Lucas and Blue volunteered to pull what just might be the ultimate d–k move, Owen managed to stun Teddy anew (did they even like each other anymore?), and alas, things were looking bleak for Natalia, the patient whose divorce ceremony was the most romantic on record.

The second season of Sex/Life may have ended with happily ever after, but creator and showrunner Stacy Rukeyser says there is still much more story to tell.

Adam Demos has garnered a significant fanbase for his role as Brad Simon in the streamer's sexy drama series "Sex/Life." Prior to his steamy role, Demos shared the screen with Christina Milian in Netflix's 2019 film "Falling Inn Love" and had a recurring role in the Lifetime drama series "Unreal." Though his acting career has only just started to blossom, Demos is on track to broaden his career more, and currently stars in the second season of "Sex/Life," which hit Netflix on March 2.
When he isn't in front of the camera, though, the Australian actor maintains a private personal life out of the spotlight. His current romance, however, does get special treatment. Similar to his character in "Sex/Life," Demos is head-over-heels for his costar, Sarah Shahi, who plays his love interest, Billie Connelly, in the series. After meeting on set in February 2020, the two quickly hit it off and confirmed...

The erotic drama, which was first released on Netflix in 2021, follows Billie (Shahi), a restless married woman who begins reminiscing about her former lover Brad (Adam Demos).
The series returned for a second season on Thursday (2 March) where it topped Netflix’s TV chart in the UK, with one particularly Nsfw scene already getting fans talking.
However, Shahi, who is in a relationship with her on-screen love interest Demos, admitted that it was a different scene from the finale that left her red in the face.

In the final episode of season two, Billie and Brad finally come together after ending their respective relationships. They get married in the last scene, and it is then revealed that Billie is pregnant.

[This story includes major spoilers for Sex/Life season two.]
Sex/Life‘s second season brings to life the concept of two roads diverged.
The Netflix hit ended its first season on a major cliffhanger that saw Billie (Sarah Shahi) run to Brad’s (Adam Demos) loft in Manhattan six months after she said she was going to strictly focus on her marriage. “Oh God, it’s not enough,” she says, as she leaves husband Cooper (Mike Vogel) at home in Connecticut with the kids.
When season two kicks off, Billie is in a new apartment of her own in the city and separated from Cooper. In flashbacks, viewers find out that, while Brad still clearly has feelings for Billie, he viewed her turning down his season one proposal as a sign to move on — and into bed with someone else.

As the first season of Netflix’s Sex/Life wrapped up, our heroine Billie (Sarah Shahi) found herself in a bit of a pickle. On the one hand, she had Cooper (Mike Vogel), her drop-dead gorgeous, chiseled husband, a great father to her two small children with a lucrative job that was helping save the world. But the sex? Meh. On the other hand, she had Brad (Adam Demos), her drop-dead gorgeous, chiseled past love, a mega-rich music producer unfortunately burdened with abandonment issues that made him a bit of a douchebag.
