Caffeine – October 14th Edition

Happy Sunday! Now that fall TV is in full swing, we’ve got more pickups and finally a cancellation for you, but first . . .

We usually put casting at the end of the column, as regular readers know, but this is big enough for me to make an exception: Clark Gregg will in fact appear in Joss Whedon’s Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot. Coulson lives, you guys!

The premieres of Community and Whitney have been delayed. There’s no new date yet, but we’ll let you know when we hear.

Psych will return on February 27.

NBC will air their Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane pilot, which is not going forward as a series, as a Halloween special on October 26.

Renewed: Suits.

We have the fall’s first casualty: CBS has pulled Made in Jersey.

In better new show news, FOX picked up full seasons of Ben and Kate and The Mindy Project. And Neighbors got an order for three more scripts.

Season four of Louie will be delayed until 2014. But it sounds like it’s at Louis C.K.’s request, so fans have no need to worry.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager will end after its fifth season.

Cancelled before it began: Dane Cook’s Next Caller series at NBC.

Coming to Hulu: BBC show The Wrong Mans.

Johnny Depp and Tom Fontana are making a modern series based on Shakespeare’s plays. Like . . . all of them. So. There’s that.

In development:
ABC has a semi-autobiographical comedy from Tyra Banks, a Michael Bolton comedy, a comedy from Ty Burrell and his brother, comedy Sex Diaries, light FBI procedural Pros and Cons, a paranormal cop comedy, a modern Great Expectations, two autobiographical family projects, and a James Patterson adaptation.
CBS has The Cisco Kid, blog-inspired comedy Granny Is My Wingman, female vigilante drama #Resistance (which, in retrospect, I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to put a hashtag in a title before), a comedy from the Hollywood Assistants blogger, and a multi-ethnic family comedy starring comedian Maz Jobrani.
Comedy Central bought an adaptation of Broad City from Amy Poehler.
The CW is redeveloping Confessions of a Backup Dancer. They also have a J.J. Abrams undercover cop drama and another modern Great Expectations, this one from Reese Witherspoon.
FOX has a modern Bonnie and Clyde, a semi-autobiographical comedy from John Legend, a female friendship comedy, an action series based on video game Battlefield: Bad Company, comedy Adulting from J.J. Abrams, and an FBI thriller from Ed Brubaker and Kyle Killen.
NBC has a medical drama, two dramas from the Numb3rs producer, another Alice in Wonderland adaptation (so, yes, we’re up to three), Tumblr-inspired comedy F*ck! I’m in My Twenties, Undateable comedy from Bill Lawrence, cult drama The Church from Dick Wolf, two Ron Weiner comedies, a Sixth Gun adaptation from Carlton Cuse, and an espionage drama.

Colton Haynes will not return for season three of Teen Wolf.
