It’s one-and-done for the musical drama series Soundtrack at Netflix. The Internet TV network has canceled the series after one season, Deadline has confirmed.
Soundtrack (fka Mixtape) had previously gone to pilot at Fox before it was picked up to series by Netflix.
The series, which starred Jenna Dewan, Callie Hernandez and Madeleine Stowe, hailed from Quantico creator Josh Safran; Annapurna Pictures; 20th Century Fox TV, which produced the original pilot; and its cable/streaming division Fox 21 TV Studios.
Netflix had ordered a 10-episode first season in July 2018 and it premiered on December 18, 2018.
Written by former Smash showrunner Safran, Soundtrack was described as a romantic musical drama that looked at the love stories connecting a diverse, disparate group of people in contemporary Los Angeles through the music that lives inside their hearts and minds.
Safran executive produced with Annapurna’s Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle as well as Ali Krug.

RuPaul’s Drag Race may be on hiatus, but if a lip sync extravaganza is what you crave, Netflix can offer you a quick fix in the form of Soundtrack, a new musical drama from the mind of Smash‘s Josh Safran.
Now streaming, the series premiere introduces viewers to Nellie (Graves‘ Callie Hernandez), a young artist whose musician boyfriend just got his big break. Levi is on the precipice of stardom, so when he makes special dinner reservations for their anniversary, Nellie is sure — or at least her friends are sure — that he’s going to propose. But anyone...

Netflix’s new musical drama “Soundtrack,” from “Smash” executive producer Joshua Safran, is a deeply frustrating entry to the genre. Originally pitched as “Mixtape” for broadcast network TV, “Soundtrack” uses a vague framework of “Love songs are good” to have its characters lip-sync existing songs — by artists ranging from Demi Lovato to Joni Mitchell —at sporadic moments throughout the series. In two intertwining timelines, romantic leads Sam and Nellie — played with verve by Paul James (“Greek”) and Callie Hernandez (“Under the Silver Lake”)— circle each other and express their frustrations to the tune of Imagine Dragons and St. Vincent. Their concerned mother figures Antoinette (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and Margot (Madeleine Stowe) pace across the screen to Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton. Nellie’s father, Frank (Campbell Scott), fittingly embraces classic dad rock, while Sam’s struggling cousin Dante (Jahmil French) prefers The Weeknd.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Soundtrack,” streaming now on Netflix.
Veteran television writer and producer Joshua Safran says music is actually his “No. 1 passion.” Having grown up playing music well before he studied film and television, Safran has had a longtime love of musicals. He was able to combine the mediums in 2013 when he joined then-NBC musical drama “Smash” as showrunner, but now has taken it to another level by creating “Soundtrack” for Netflix.
“‘Smash’ taught me a lot. It taught me how to shoot a musical sequence. That show was the top of the line creative team. One thing I did not know when I started was how to ensure that you are always telling a story through song that was not already being told through the script,” Safran tells Variety.

While you awesome Ology readers are right in the middle of Degrassi's twelfth season, you may have completely forgotten the time we trekked to Toronto in order to pow wow with the entire cast for the second leg of Season 11 (in which case: shame on you). So in honor of Showdown kicking off its second leg of drama Tonight at 10pm, we thought we'd take a look back at our favorite moments with our favorite television cast, from Munro Chambers' thoughts on Eli and Clare's destiny, Jessica Tyler's fancy rapping skills, Christine Prosperi's foxy dance moves, and everything in between. Every Degrassi video interview is below: video footage all over the Canadian set with Munro, Jessica, and Cristine as well as Annie Clark, Luke Bilyk, Melinda Shankar, Justin Kelly, Shanice Banton, Aislinn Paul, plus our super fun blooper reel with guest stars Chloe Rose, Olivia Scriven, and Jahmil French.

As the high schoolers return to Degrassi, a few new faces are joining the student body: Campbell Saunders (Dylan Everett), Becky Baker (Sarah Fisher), Luke Baker (Craig Arnold) and Mike Dallas (Demetrius Joyette).
In the exclusive clip above, newcomer Dallas, who's already captain of the hockey team, gets a ride to school with brothers Adam (Jordan Todosey) and Drew (Luke Bilyk). He plays hard and parties hard and has always been the golden boy.

With the new tv show Undercovers premiering next month, starring the already oft-mentioned Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who I know best at Freema Agyeman’s (#1 on my ‘Wifey List’) sister on Dr. Who, and pretty-boy extraordinaire Boris Kodjoe, I thought I’d focus on what seems to be, in a good way, a proliferation of Black men on tv shows lately. Although these guys are supporting characters, they’re playing some pretty intense roles and putting forth some great comedic and dramatic performances. Though none of these are network shows like Undercovers, they are often better (and sometimes better performing) than those.
