When ABC cancelled Body of Proof, word was that cable channels like USA, TNT, and WGA America were interested in picking up the show for a fourth season.
ABC network president Paul Lee even said, "I would love to see Body of Proof find a good home for itself. I love Dana Delany."

Unfortunately, a new home couldn't be found and Body of Proof is staying cancelled.
Creator Matt Gross broke the bad news, writing, "Valiant effort from #abc studios to sell #bodyofproof to another net, Sad to report...

Among the many projects being juggled by Marvel Studios is an adaptation of its comic Runaways, about a group of teenagers who go on the run after discovering their parents are in a crime syndicate.
According to a report last October, it had been halted in favour of high-priority blockbusters such as Thor, Captain America, The Avengers and Iron Man 3.
British writer Drew Pearce penned the screenplay, while Peter Sollett (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) is set to direct. So, with Thor and Captain America now released and production in full swing on The Avengers, is the project starting to pick up speed again?
Pearce gave an update on its progress at last weekend's Empire Presents... Big Screen film festival, telling The Playlist: "Basically, The Avengers came along and everything else at Marvel got put on hold for a year. But the script is there, we're good to go.
