Queen Of The South
The reign of this telenovela adaptation is nearing its end. The fifth and final season of this year began airing in early April. Queen of the South is based on the best-selling novel La Reina Del Sur by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, which was also adapted into a Spanish-language television series. According to Newsweek, the Alice Braga crime drama saw a 20% drop in ratings from the previous season, but it remains the most-watched original show on USA Network, beating Dirty John and The Sinner. USA Network has been moving away from scripted television in recent years, according to the publication, canceling popular shows like Mr. Robot and The Purge.
The Twilight Zone
Jordan Peele, best known for the film “Get Out,” hosted, narrated, and co-produced this supernatural anthology series, a modern revival of the iconic 1959 show. The Twilight Zone only aired for two seasons on CBS All Access, and it won’t return for a third this year as the platform rebrands to Paramount+. The show, however, was not canceled ahead of schedule. According to representatives from the show’s production companies, “After 20 unique episodes, we have told the stories that we wanted to tell, and CBS All Access was gracious in their understanding of our decision.”
