Reality competition series “Legendary” has been canceled at HBO Max after three seasons.
The news comes just one day after Variety exclusively reported the cancellation of “FBoy Island,” another fan-favorite unscripted project at the streamer.
The series took place within the New York ballroom scene, following different houses of vogue dancers as they competed in balls and fashion showcases in order to achieve “legendary” status. Among the cast were Mc Dashaun Wesley and DJ MikeQ as well as celebrity judges Law Roach, Jameela Jamil, Leiomy Maldonado and Megan Thee Stallion. Season 1 premiered in 2020, while Season 2 came in 2021 and Season 3 premiered in May of this year.
Like with “FBoy Island,” the end of “Legendary” points to a larger story within the continued impact of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. CEO David Zaslav brought with him not just a stacked unscripted slate from across the Discovery brands, but also a rather brutal cost-cutting spirit.

Exclusive: The reality cancellations are coming thick and fast at HBO Max.
The streamer has canceled voguing competition series Legendary after three seasons.
It comes after it emerged that FBoy Island was canceled after two seasons.
Similar to the Nikki Glaser-fronted dating series, Legendary is a relatively expensive show for a streaming service that pulled out of original unscripted orders earlier this summer. At the time, the streamer noted that while it wasn’t ordering any new unscripted originals, it would consider renewing existing shows but FBoy Island and Legendary are more expensive than the David Zaslav-run company would like to spend on unscripted shows.
It’s also a blow for diversity in unscripted programming as Legendary was one of the most inclusive reality shows on air and praised by GLAAD.
Legendary features a group of voguing houses, each featuring five performers and a leader called the house mother.

The clock, as Zedd and Alessia Cara like to say, was ticking.
Jason Sudeikis noticed it — how could he not, when shortly after his cast and producers gathered on stage to accept their second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, he turned to thank the Academy and uttered the immortal words: “Wait, we just got here! And we’re down to 30 seconds.”
But it wasn’t just winners crowned near the end of Monday’s brisk and bizarre ceremony that faced the teleprompter’s wrath. Matthew Macfadyen took note of the night’s swift dismissal music by raising his golden statue slightly and smiling in wistful remembrance of an honor lost as he was still receiving it. “There it goes,” he said, before squeezing in a few more loved ones’ first names.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jewel has signed on as a new judge for the reality competition series for a cappella groups, joining Shawn Stockman, Ben Folds and returning host Nick Lachey. NBC recently greenlighted a fourth cycle of The Sing-Off which is set to air as a holiday strip over several nights later this year. The Sing-Off did solid business for NBC when it aired as a week-long strip in December 2009 and 2010, part of the network’s holiday programming. But when NBC slated it as a two-hour regular weekly series in fall 2011, it fizzled. Now it’s reverting back to that original format. The program showcases the country’s top a cappella groups who have dreams of walking away with the top prize – a recording contract and $100,000. The Sing-Off is produced by One Three Media (a Hearst/Mark Burnett company) along with Outlaw Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television. Mark Burnett...

Jim Carrey's appearances at the MTV Movie Awards are the stuff of legend. Who could forget the time he showed up dressed as a Jim Morrison-esque hippie when he won for Best Male Performance in 1999, drinking and smoking all night?
The funnyman is back again this year, and supervising producer Jane Mun promises that this appearance will live up to Carrey's rep for unpredictable hilarity.
"Jim Carrey is the most-nominated MTV Movie Awards star," Mun shared with MTV News. "Jim Carrey always comes to play. And he will be playing this Sunday!"
The actor would only give some outlandish hints about what he'd be wearing for his latest appearance.

Thanks to "The Twilight Saga," Taylor Lautner has a bit of a reputation for shirtlessness. At tonight's MTV Movie Awards, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is up for eight tubs of Golden Popcorn, including Lautner's nods for Best Male Performance and Best Kiss with Kristen Stewart.

"Um, I don't know," Mun teased. "I can't spill the beans. You guys will have to see Taylor in a whole different light. He's amazing."

HollywoodNews.com: Many people think that Katy Perry and Russell Brand fell in love when they were filming “Get Him to the Greek,” but their relationship began quite some time before then. In a new episode of “The VMAs: Revealed,” we see exactly how the two first met.
Vma producer Jane Mun shares that filmmaker Nick Stoller set up a shoot at the 2008 VMAs to get cameos for his Alduos Show spinoff. She said, “They wanted hot young female artists to be part of the movie. So, Christina Aguilera was performing, they got her, Pink and Katy Perry,” reports MTV.
