Scoop: 'Privileged' inching closer to pickup?

Tagged:

Joannagarcia_lThere’s new evidence to suggest that The CW may be close to doing the right thing (read: season 2 renewal!) where Privileged is concerned.

A source close to the show confirms that the network has decided to run repeats of the cult fave on Fridays at 8 pm/ET throughout the summer. Why would The CW waste an hour of its schedule on a show that had no future? It’s simple: They most likely probably wouldn’t.

“It’s definitely a positive sign,” acknowledges a Privileged insider, who
quickly adds that there’s still no official word about a pickup.
Indeed, a CW rep insists no decision has been made about the show’s future.

Still, with this new development coming so closely on the heels of a report that the show may be back as a midseason replacement, momentum has clearly shifted in Privileged‘s favor.

The promising word of mouth has even trickled down to co-star Sharon Lawrence, who plays
mom to Joanna Garcia’s Megan. “I heard it may have a life,” she told me
earlier today, “which is great!”

Anyone else think it’s great? I’ll go first: I do! Okay, your turn…

    LOVE this show. Snappy dialogue, adorable characters, good-lucking men — what’s not to love? Sort of gives me that Gilmore Girls feeling…..

    I absolutely love Privileged! Please bring it back! Joanna Garcia is delightful, and the entire supporting cast is great.

  • Shawn

    Can you show this same type of love to the Game and Everybody Loves Chris. There aren’t too many shows of color anymore and these are two of the best. I would hate to be limited to watching Tyler Perry crap if they got canceled.

  • Courtney

    You know, I was pretty torn mid season this past year because I absolutely adored Privileged but also really liked Reaper. But after watching the first few episodes of Reaper, I just really miss Privileged and hope it gets renewed!
