ROYALS, THE (E!) - The cable channel has canceled the series after four seasons. "E! will not be moving forward with another season of 'The Royals,' which launched in 2015 as the network's first original scripted series," said the network in a statement. "Over four seasons, 'The Royals' took viewers behind the palace gates on a scandalous journey filled with twists and turns.

Lionsgate nevertheless plans to shop the series elsewhere, with its co-venture Pop among the targets. (Deadline.com)
TREADSTONE (USA) - The network's small screen take on the "Bourne" franchise has been ordered directly to series.

Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz of Push It Productions will executive produce alongside the studio's Barry Poznick. The series launches Friday, October 5 at 11:00/10:00c. (Deadline.com)
UNTITLED LAVENDER & ULIN PROJECT (NBC, New!) - Writers Meredith Lavender and Marcie Ulin and director Craig Brewer are set to team for a new drama at the network about "gifted musician Madison, who fears her life in the music business is over after an epic breakdown on stage goes viral. With a new boldness she teams up with her musical prodigy sisters to form a band that might be more than what they bargained for. Thrust into a world that is far more cutthroat and challenging than they ever imagined, they try to balance their individual ambitions, dreams and secrets while trying to survive the roller coaster that is fame and success." DiVide Pictures' Milo Ventimiglia and Russ Cundiff will also executive produce the 20th Century Fox TV-based project, which has a script commitment plus penalty. (Deadline.com)
