If you were a fan of the hit series “Underground,” well sad news below. The show creator, Misha Green has confirmed the show still has not been picked up by another network since the WGN network did not renew the period series.

“Underground,” which told the story of the Macon 7, who were runaway slaves on their quest to freedom; was a story of triumph and resilience. A story about slavery that still needs to be told and heard. Of course a network would choose not to pick it back up. Yes, I understand that period pieces are often more expensive to film considering costumes, set design and other expenses to create such a period in time. But there are enough resources out here to pull together and make it happen if people really wanted to. 

John Legend, one of the executive producers even sought out Oprah and her OWN network to help fund the continuation. However, they cited not have the funds due to their own big production of “Queen Sugar.”

Hopefully, someone will see the importance of “Underground,” and quickly get it back into production. In the meantime take a look at the message Misha Green posted:

Ludacris has teamed with MTV  to recreate their very own version of the popular series “Fear Factor.”

The show will be a 12-episode reboot, hosted and executive produced by Luda.

In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, he said, “I am excited to kick off my partnership with MTV, starting with the relaunch of ‘Fear Factor,’ which will be even more insane and ludicrous than what you remember.”  “This will be the first of many great projects together.”

“MTV is about celebrating youth culture, and with the reinvented ‘Fear Factor,’ we are putting the power in our audience’s hands to face and overcome their biggest fears,” said MTV president Chris McCarthy. “We are thrilled to partner with Ludacris, one of the biggest global stars who has a rich history with MTV, to energize this franchise for a whole new generation.”

Ludacris also returns to the big screen as part of The Fate of the Furious.

Last year, HBO secured a runaway hit with new series “Insecure,” featuring up and coming talented actress Issa Rae from the hit Youtube series, “Awkward Black Girl.”  Insecure was rated as one of the top new shows last year.  With all of its success, Issa revealed that the new season will start on July 23rd.
