‘Gattaca’ Series Adaptation & Mandy Patinkin Comedy ‘Seasoned’ Scrapped At Showtime Along With Two Development Projects
deadline.comShowtime has scrapped a number of greenlit originals including the series remake of Gattaca from Homeland co-creators Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa and Seasoned, a comedy starring real-life husband and wife Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody.
It is also not moving forward with two development projects – Sweetness and Split. Sweetness comes from Nick Stoller and Promising Young Woman Oscar winner Emerald Fennell and is a female-driven anthology project.
It comes out of Stoller’s overall deal with Sony Pictures TV, which will shop elsewhere. Not much is known about Split. The move comes after Showtime merged with Paramount+ on the streaming side and follows the cancelation of other series ahead of their debut including Three Women, which moved to Starz, and Ripley, which moved to Netflix.
It is the latest cull as part of a cost-cutting drive across Paramount, following the move to pull a raft of series from its Paramount+ service including Grease: The Rise of the Pink Ladies, The Game, Star Trek: Prodigy, Queen of the Universe and Inside Amy Schumer.
