Lady Calypso January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 We're not done with the Mutant Underground yet. The show has been renewed for a second season. I'm not totally surprised, though I am a bit taken aback. I didn't think the ratings would justify a second season, but I guess it's doing well with more than just the live ratings. In that article, it talks about the show actually averaging about 8.3 million viewers each episode on multiple platforms. 2 Link to comment
AveMaria30 January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 Yes! I'm glad it's been renewed. I was a little worried it wouldn't be as the live ratings haven't been fantastic :/ but i remember seeing a while back that the +7 ratings were quite good. Link to comment
sjohnson January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 I'm shocked. But despite its imperfections, it's at least watchable, so I'm good with it. Link to comment
tv echo January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) Fox shows won't end up on ABC as part of Disney merger, chairman promises LYNETTE RICE January 04, 2018 AT 01:25 PM ESThttp://ew.com/tv/2018/01/04/fox-shows-abc-disney-merger/ Quote “Fox Broadcasting Shows will continue to be on FBC,” Chairman and CEO Dana Walden told reporters Thursday in Pasadena. “There is no plans to move Fox shows over to ABC.” But there will be a new division as part of the billion-dollar merger. Fox Broadcasting Co, along with Fox News and the Fox owned and operated stations, will be spun off into the “new Fox,” explained Fox TV Group Chairman Gary Newman. “It will be a very robust, nimble company,” Newman told reporters during the semi-annual Television Critics Association tour. “It’s an exciting and dynamic time for the TV business. New Fox will chart a new course.” For the next 12 to 18 months, however, it will remain business as usual. “I do not mean to say what the future is,” cautions Newman. “The truth is, we don’t really know. We have to operate as if the deal won’t go through. Our anticipation is that it will go through… it will pass regulatory muster. This development season, we are reading scripts. We will make a similar amount of pilots as we have made in the past. We aren’t going to worry about what happens down the road when this deal happens.” There haven’t even been creative discussions about the content, Newman added, though he is confident that Disney won’t “Disney-fy” their shows. “They were incredibly vocal to us about how much they liked our brand, how much they admired the programming,” he told reporters. “We have every expectation they are not acquiring Fox to somehow turn it into some form of a PG company, to ‘Disney-fy’ it. They will be encouraging of our content.” Media tweets from Television Critics Association (TCA) 2018 Winter Press Tour... Edited January 7, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

Also, one told Andy specifically it didn't matter. The only hint they were different is two seemed to be resentful Esme didn't suffer the initial rigors of the Hound program. Seems like rewriting the characters. PS The choose your sides poster gallery is Fox-y: The bad guys are blue staters, and the good guys are red staters...and the red has a strong orange tint! Especially notable: The only ambiguous figure is Jace Turner, the man who has conducted illegal mass wiretapping; mass harassing raids without warrants; issued shoot to kill orders on several occasions; turned over prisoners to torture programs, including minors who hadn't even been officially arrested, much less convicted of a crime*; connived in the attack on a superior government official from the DOJ; planned to massacre all mutants at the underground HQ. Of course Fox thinks he's basically a good man! *After the massacre at Trask, Turner would ordinarily have been fired, but I'm fanwanking that he got away with it because they didn't want to admit they are just plain torturing minors with out even doing any paperwork.

AngelKitty April 18, 2019 Share April 18, 2019 I'm not surprised and am slightly relieved that I don't have to watch anymore. The biggest problem, for me, with this show was that it was hard to root for anyone. The characters were interesting but unlikeable. 2 Link to comment

The biggest problem, for me, with this show was that it was hard to root for anyone. The characters were interesting but unlikeable. I love comic book shows, but this is pretty much how I feel. Disappointed, but also relieved that I don't have to watch. The only characters I really truly liked were Lorna and Marcos. Everyone else ranged from mehhhh (John) to ugh (Jamie Chung) to loathe (Jace). Jace was a huge reason why I can't be too sorry to see the show go. That actor ruined the show for me. Now that Fox is part of Disney, I would love somehow to see Polaris make her way onto Agents of SHIELD. 1 Link to comment
