TNT & TBS Scripted Programming Development Axed by Warner Bros. Discovery

In a pivot after the merger of both companies, Warner Bros. Discovery has cut all scripted programming development at both TBS and TNT.

According to the report from Variety, the WarnerMedia cable channels will no longer develop any additional scripted content. This isn’t entirely a surprise as both channels’ original slates had shrunk over the past few years, but both networks both had marquee scripted shows, such as The Last OG and American Dad on TBS, and Snowpierecer on TNT.

The future of its current slate of scripted is currently unknown, although Miracle Works and Chad both have additional seasons set to air and American Dad just got renewed for two additional seasons last year from TBS. Meanwhile, Snowpiercer has been renewed for a fourth season, while TNT’s only other scripted show, Animal Kingdom, is ending in June.

This is yet another shift in the decision-making of the company post-merger. CNN+ was immediately axed just shortly after its launch and now there’s talk of moving some HBO Max releases to theaters as well. There’s also a supposed overhaul of DC Entertainment coming, so expect more changes to come in the future..
