TNT Pulls the Plug on Monday Mornings

10 May 2013 1:52 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

Speaking of Morbidity & Mortality… TNT has opted not to renew the hospital drama Monday Mornings for a second season — news that comes on the heels of the cabler’s longer-running Southland getting the hook.

Jennifer Finnigan, who played Monday Mornings doc Tina Ridgeway, was among those who shared the bad news on Friday afternoon, via Twitter:

Sadly, @tntweknowdrama has decided to cancel #MondayMornings . Some things just don't make sense. Thanks to all the fans. So grateful for u!—

TNT’s headline is looking all kinds of right this week. Michael Bay? Good. Apocalypse? Good. Action? Good. Drama? Good. We’re ready and so is the network. They’ve given an official 10-episode series order to The Last Ship.

The Last Ship has all the elements of a big Hollywood blockbuster, from its epic storytelling to its top-notch cast headed by the perfect leading man, Eric Dane,” said TNT’s head of programming Michael Wright.

Now that’s a name that sound ring some bells. The Private Practice and Burlesque star is headlining the new series from Bay, producer of the Transformers big screen franchise.

The Last Ship is one of two pilots at TNT that were awaiting a series order, reported Deadline. Legends, the second one, hasn’t received official word yet.

The series with the green light is based upon the William Brinkley novel of the same »

TNT has ordered up ten episodes of Michael Bay's new post-apocalyptic action drama series called The Last Ship, and it looks awesome! The network released a trailer for it that you've got to check out. I was actually really surprised by how good it looks.

Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) stars as Captain Tom Chandler, a career Navy man who lords over the Nathan James, while Tracy Middendorf (Boardwalk Empire) plays his wife Darien. Adam Baldwin (Chuck) plays Slattery, the ship’s second-in-command who occasionally clashes with  Chandler over the best course of action, and Rhona Mitra(Strike Back) is Rachel Scott, »

TNT is hoping you'll come aboard "The Last Ship."

First Trailer for Michael Bay’s Other Ship-Based TV Show The Last Ship

7 May 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Besides killer robots from outer space and ‘splosions, Michael Bay seems to have a thing for boats. The director of the “Transformers” franchise is already a noted producer on the Starz Channel show “Black Sails” (see a new poster and two promos for that here), but he’s also a producer on the show “The Last Ship”, a post-apocalyptic, virus-kills-the-world show that has just landed a full 10-episode first season order from TNT. For some reason I’ve never heard of this show until now, even though it’s totally something I’m naturally down for. I’m not sure who the bad guys are, though, since it’s a show set on a ship. What, other ships? Aliens? Infected people? The crew of a naval destroyer is forced to confront the reality of a new existence when a pandemic kills off most of the earth’s population. “The Last Ship »
