ABC’s two bubble midseason drama series are heading in an opposite direction. Shonda Rhimes’ Scandal is being renewed for a second season, while GCB is being canceled. (ABC’s third midseason drama River, has been dead for awhile.)
Veteran Private Practice is also expected to get a renewal for what will likely be the series’ final season though that is not official yet. I hear complicating the negotiations is the fact that Mark Gordon, who produces the series, is also behind the drama pilot Americana, which is at the center of heated talks after word got out that ABC was planning to pass on it.
