'Six' Cancelled At History
It is being reported that History has cancelled Six after two seasons. The Navy SEAL drama is currently in the midst of its sophomore run, with four episodes remaining until its now-series finale in early August.
The show premiered early last year and had a solid debut outing, airing eight episodes that delivered strong ratings for the cable network. Season 2, however, has not fared as well. Viewership through its first six episodes if off by nearly half compared to Season 1, making it difficult to warrant a third season pickup.
Inspired by true events, Six takes place in the high stakes world of the elite Navy Special Operations unit known as SEAL Team Six. Its members are tasked with the covert mission of eliminating a Taliban leader in Afghanistan, but the mission goes awry when they discover that a U.S. citizen is working with the terrorists.

'Claws' Renewed For Season 3
TNT announced today that Claws has been renewed for a third season. The comedic drama, which is midway through its sophomore run, has continued to build on its strong performance from a year ago. Season-to-date, ratings are slightly up compared to its freshman numbers.
Claws stars Niecy Nash as the owner of the Nail Artisan salon in South Florida, where the five diverse manicurists who work there are doing a lot more than just pedicures. Trying to make ends meet in a tough economy, the women are lured into a life of crime when they start laundering money from illegal pain medication for a nearby pain clinic.
Look for Season 3 of Claws in 2019.
FX Renews 'Pose'
FX announced today that Pose has been picked up for a second season. The good news comes with two episodes remaining in the musical drama's freshman run, which has proven to be a solid addition to the cable network's summer lineup.
Co-created by Ryan Murphy, the hour-long series focuses on the juxtaposition of different segments of life and society in 1980s New York, including the rise of high society, the downtown social and literary scene, and ball culture.
Through its first six episodes the show has garnered decent, consistent viewership and plenty of praise from critics, who have applauded its creativity, performances, and overall energy.
Look for Season 2 of Pose in 2019.
Starz Renews 'Sweetbitter'
Starz announced today that Sweetbitter has been renewed for a second season. The good news comes a month after the book-based drama concluded its six-episode freshman run.
Based on Stephanie Danier's best-selling 2016 novel of the same name, the series follows Tess, a 22-year-old woman who recently moved to New York. When she starts working at one of the city's top restaurants, it's not long before she becomes intoxicated by the establishment's staff, nightlife, and fast-paced lifestyle.
Look for Season 2 of Sweetbitter in 2019.
'Queer Eye' Renewed For Season 3
Netflix announced today that Queer Eye will be returning for a third season. The reality series, which is an updated version of the 2003 original, has been enjoying a successful resurgence since its return to television earlier this year.
Queer Eye, or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as it was originally known, ran for four seasons on Bravo before it was cancelled in 2007. 10 years later, Netflix confirmed it was creating a revived edition of the lifestyle-focused series featuring a new 'Fab Five' with expertise in fashion, culture, grooming, design, and food and wine.
Netflix has ordered another eight episodes for Season 3 of Queer Eye, matching its Season 1 and 2 orders. Look for a premiere in 2019.
'Ransom' Renewed For Season 3
CBS announced today that Ransom has been picked up for a third season. It's an interesting move for the network; one that seems to indicate that it will continue support original programming on Saturday nights.
The internationally-produced suspense drama premiered as a mid-season entry early last year, receiving little fanfare in its Saturday time slot. And while it appeared CBS was just burning off its episodes on the least cared about day of the week, the network ended up renewing the show for a sophomore run this spring - also on Saturday nights. With consistent viewership and little competition, CBS seems happy to continue the series in 2019.
Another 13 episodes have been ordered for Season 3, matching the lengths of its first two seasons. Look for a return next Spring.
