Good news : FOX's Breaking In might have a shot for a 2nd season !The Contra Security agency is facing its biggest job yet : breaking out of cancellation, and they might just pull it off.
Deadline reports that FOX recently picked up the options on series' actors until November 15th. FOX pitched in and splits the costs of this option extension with Sony Pictures TV (producing studio of Breaking In).
The renewal is not a sure thing yet, but clearly FOX is still thinking about it for mid-season, and that's a very good news. The option extension includes Bret Harrison (Cameron), Odette Annable (Melanie), Alphonso McAuley (Cash), Trevor Moore (Josh), Michael Rosenbaum (Dutch) and Christian Slater (Oz).
The 2nd season of Breaking In could premiere in mid-January 2012 and run throughout the first trimester on Tuesdays, given that Glee will be on hiatus for several weeks before coming back in the spring. Thus, FOX will make its first 2-hour live-action comedy block for several weeks next year, and Breaking In could be a part of it, alongside Raising Hope.
New Girl, I Hate My Teenage Daughter and 2 pilots still not greenlighted but not dead (Little in Common and Family Album) might be a part of it as well, but if either New Girl or I Hate my Teenage Daughter fail this fall (I bet IHMTA will) and if either of the 2 FOX pilots in production don't pan out (they currently undergo some tweaking), Christian Slater and his crew would definitely be back next season !
Intersting... I thought the show had quite some potential (and a lovely cast) so I'll be glad to see some more of it.
ReplyDeleteThe show was OK, but I think it would have worked better as an hour-long show. With the plotlines they used, by the time you've gotten everything down with the characters and where they were going that week, the episode was over.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping.
ReplyDeleteActually I think it worked pretty great as a half hour. If it went on longer it might have gotten too over the top and gimmicky simply by trying to fill up the time.
ReplyDeleteThe first episodes seemed to better fit for a 40 minute show but the last episode were great and perfect (almost like scrubs !) this show has the potential to become the next arrested development. it is a funny and great show with a perfect cast and has also a lot of heart!
ReplyDeleteI liked the show but I seriously doubt Fox would bring it back unless most of their fall shows fail. The show had a post Idol time slot and still didn't do very well.
ReplyDeleteFox should sell this show to Universal Media Studios (UMS) so it can be stretched to an hourlong dramady to air on the USA Network instead of that show Common Law that was just given a green light to series.
