Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries for the day, we have a renewal, and that comes in the form of Nobody Wants This on Netflix. Season 4 is coming, so congratulations to everyone involved. I haven’t even started Season 3, and this thing already got picked up for a fourth season. Thanks for doing the work, because I’m obviously way behind on shows, and it’s only going to get worse in November and December when every single film studio sends me its entire slate of films to catch up on for awards season voting. Also, don’t forget, spoiler warning! Who … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 11/06/26

I think the biggest, and really only relevant, TV news to kick this off today is the fact that Netflix has once again proven the term “limited series” means absolutely nothing. They have picked up The Beast in Me for a second season.
