The four major U.S. networks have just unveiled 31 new shows for 2012-2013, which means that many won’t be back. For instance, CSI Miami, A Gifted Man, and Desperate Housewives won't return for another season.
But a few shows, like Pan Am may live on, thanks to new outlets for original programming.Online video platforms such as Netflix and DirecTV which offer studios a chance to keep shows going. With detailed data on viewing, they can better tell which programmes can survive on smaller budgets with fewer, dedicated fans.
As already mentioned, one of these shows will probably be Sony Picture Television's airline drama Pan Am that has been aired on ABC:
Allegedly Netflix is also talking to CBS about resurrecting the drama Jericho and to Fox regarding ordering more episodes of Terra Nova. Platforms like Netflix benefit by picking up cancelled shows because they already have been heavily marketed and come with a built-in audience.
Google, Yahoo, Apple and YouTube might also start looking for cancelled TV shows.
