TV: Sad Days For ABC’s ‘Happy Town’
I think it’s about time to delete “Happy Town” off my DVR before I get too committed. First the under-performing ABC mystery drama was yanked off the schedule right after the start of its midseason run. Now it’s being dragged off the network’s summer lineup too, where it was being burned off on Wednesday nights, reports Live Feed. The show will be removed from the schedule, where it drew about 2.2 million viewers and a 0.6 adult demo rating this week (Jimmy Kimmel’s Twilight special and “Castle” repeats will air instead). The final two episodes will air on a Saturday night in July. But that’s it, “Happy Town,” that’s your last chance.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
