“Quantum Break” Xbox One (first season released, second season unclear) This is a show embedded into the game. Creative director Sam Lake explains: “You as a player get to explore those glimpses, and you get to make the decision as to which future will come to pass,” Lake said. “You make that choice, and that is the reality that will happen. Right after that, we go into an episode of the live-action TV show, and the consequences of that come into play in your version of the show. You see that future happening. From that point onwards, the consequences carry on both on the show side and on the game side for the rest of the game.” It came out April 5, 2016.  A sequel was never announced. Enough time has passed to say this is not coming back.

Silence at this point tells me it isn’t coming back.

“Property Virgins” HGTV (After 18 seasons, show now on hiatus. Might come back later.)

“BET ComicView” BET Comeback season aired in early 2015, but BET as of mid-2016, the network had said nothing about it coming back. The presumption as of mid-2016 is that it’s dead and gone.

“Containment” the CW (2016) – The description, which sounds nothing like “The Walking Dead,” ahem: “When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure. Trying to keep the peace on the streets is police officer Lex Carnahan, who has quickly risen through the ranks of the Atlanta PD.” Debuted April 19 but the CW three weeks later said it wasn’t coming back for a second season.

“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: The After Show” VH1 (aired live after “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”) They only did this one year in 2016.

These moms are a real class act, parlaying their executive room experience to run the local PTO and raise thousands of dollars for the town’s local elementary school. Full of teachable moments, they give new meaning to “getting schooled.” True Entertainment (the production company that makes “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”) is involved. A preview debuted Sunday, May 10. Show officially began June 14. Given the community reaction to it and the fact the PTO was dissolved temporarily tells me there is no way they’d be able to bring this back even if Bravo wanted to.

“Aqua Teen” Adult Swim (11th and final season debuted in June, 2015 under the new name “Aqua Tivo Avoidance Plan”

“Complications” USA Network [debuted June 18, 2015 at 9 p.m., canceled after one season] . From “Burn Notice” creator Matt Nix and Fox TV Studios, this new series stars Jason O’Mara as an ER doctor. But it’s not a traditional medical show. Rather, it’s more an action/thriller after O’Mara’s character shoots and kills a gang member in self defense and that leads to, well. complications.

Second season debuted in June, 2018. Third season and fourth seasons shot in Kansas City.

“Married at First Sight: Second Chances” FYI (second season aired). A spin-off of the original series. It debuted in April, 2017.



“Good Girls” NBC (second season moved to Los Angeles) – When three suburban moms get tired of trying to make ends meet, they decide it’s time to stick up for themselves by robbing the local supermarket at (toy) gunpoint. But when the manager catches a glimpse of one of them and the loot is far more than they expected, it doesn’t take long for the three best friends to realize the perfect getaway will be harder than they think. From Executive Producer Jenna Bans (“Scandal”) comes this comedy-infused drama that mixes a little “Thelma and Louise” with a bit of “Breaking Bad.” Christina Hendricks (“Mad Men”), Mae Whitman(“Parenthood”) and Retta (“Parks & Recreation”) star. It debuted February 26, 2018.

“Trading Spaces” TLC (season one used Atlanta for a couple of episodes) – It returned after a decade-long absence with many of the original designers including Vern Yip. Part of the new season was shot in metro Atlanta. First season debuted April, 2018.

“The Detour” TBS. Producer Samantha Bee described this edgy comedy as thus: “Jason Jones is the dad, and Natalie Zea, who’s right beside me, is playing his wife.

“Quantico” ABC (for 2015-16 season Tuesdays at 10 debuting Sept. 27) – The pilot was shot here but producers decided to move the show to Montreal. Sadly, Atlanta does at best a mediocre job replicating NYC although “Anchorman 2” and “Hindsight” tried. Presumably, Montreal is better. Here’s the plotline: a diverse group of recruits have arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. They are the best, the brightest and the most vetted, so it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11.
