NBC, Fox, ABC and CBS all unveiled their Fall 2021 TV schedules at this week’s “upfront” presentations to advertisers – conducted virtually, due to the pandemic – showing of which new series will be added to lineups and which old favorites are returning. This also meant revealing the broadcast TV shows that won’t be making it back for the 2021-2022 season in the process.
But then there are the straggler series, the ones that networks have yet to make a decision on, even though their slates are set.

CBS has put in development H-Town, a drama series from writer Samantha Corbin-Miller, Jeffrey Kramer’s Juniper Place Productions and CBS TV Studios.
Written by Corbin-Miller, H-Town is based on the Echo Media/Sphere Media Plus Canadian cop drama series 19-2. In the U.S. version, when two Houston detectives from opposing sides of a multi-generational family feud are paired as partners, they find themselves surprisingly drawn to each other even as they investigate a case that may have far-reaching ramifications for both their families.
An English-language 19-2 series aired on Canada’s Bravo and CTV for four seasons, from 2014-2017. It was nominated for 37 Canadian Screen Awards, winning 5, including Best Dramatic Series, and also was nominated for Best Drama Series International Emmy Award. (You can watch a trailer below). That series was based on a French-language Canadian police drama of the same name. Both versions...
