"L.A.'s Finest", the "Bad Boys"-derived TV drama starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba as a pair of mismatched LAPD detectives, will return for a second season. “We’re thrilled 'L.A.’s Finest' has resonated with our subscribers in such a major way. When I first saw the pilot — a show about two strong women learning to trust and support each other and still getting into plenty of trouble — I knew I’d follow them anywhere,” said Katherine Pope, head of Spectrum Originals. “Kudos to Gabrielle and Jessica, as stars and executive producers, along with creators Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis and everyone else involved, for helping us launch our first original series and making the decision to greenlight a second season incredibly easy.”
Renewed: ‘Russian Doll’

Netflix has renewed hit series “Russian Doll” for a second season.

The streaming giant announced the renewal during the annual Code Conference: “We learned when we had a catalogue of foreign films and not what traditionally Hollywood makes, you realize people have eclectic tastes.

The series stars Natasha Lyonne who also co-created the series.
Renewed: 'Love, Death And Robots'

Netflix has given a second season renewal to Tim Miller and David Fincher's "Love, Death and Robots".

Cancelled: 'The Good Place'

Michael Schur, creator of "The Good Place", announced via Twitter that the show will come to an end after the upcoming fourth season. “After 'The Good Place' was picked up for season two, the writing staff and I began to map out, as best we could, the trajectory of the show," wrote Schur.

“Given the ideas we wanted to explore, and the pace at which we wanted to present those ideas, I began to feel like four seasons — just over 50 episodes — was the right lifespan. At times over the past few years we’ve been tempted to go beyond four seasons, but mostly because making this show is a rare, creatively fulfilling joy, and at the end of the day, we don’t want to tread water just because the water is so warm and pleasant. As such, the fourth season will be our last.”
Renewed: 'Lucifer'

It's a case of good news, bad news for fans of "Lucifer" with Netflix announcing plans to renew the supernatural series for a fifth season — which will be the final one for the show, which was resurrected by Netflix after its cancellation by Fox, where it aired for three seasons. “We are so incredibly thankful to Netflix for resurrecting our show last season, and now letting us finish the story of Lucifer on our terms,” reads a statement from co-showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich. “Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!”
