    The Saturdays

    The company was wholly dedicated to the band when it launched. It's a nice legacy brand to have on their site and if there were to be a reunion of any kind, they would be involved, so it makes sense for them to keep them on. They'd only take them off if the band's representation had changed...

    Star Trek

    Given all this talk about money saving, I fear we won't get both a Picard spin off and another show set in the 31st century. Hoping I'm wrong though.

    Star Trek

    I'm not convinced this was planned as the end. EDIT: "Principal photography has just wrapped, but there will be come additional filming on the season, a source tells Deadline." Guessing they're going to refilm scenes from the finale to make the ending more finite? I think similarly to Disney...

    The Traitors (BBC One)

    I can't imagine that casting will be much different given how much praise the show has had for this in particular. They will want this information to check that the content is ok and to ensure that they have a mix of people - not just wannabe influencers.

    I thought there was more to it too but...

    Desperate Housewives

    At some point, someone will try to do another series set on Wisteria Lane with a tenuous link to the original like Juanita returning to her childhood home with her own kids.

    Becky Hill - Only Honest On The Weekend

    Given their recent output, I don't. The creative struggle is real with both.

    Dua Lipa - 3rd Album

    Yeah, she's still leaving them to handle all the boring licensing admin on her songs dd. I reckon the split with TAP is simply down to the fact they saw an opportunity to cut out the middle man since her dad's background in PR and communications theoretically gives him the experience to be her...

    Becky Hill - Only Honest On The Weekend

    Here's hoping we return to the highs of 2019 and 2020 when she was releasing banger after banger every 3 months.

    Dua Lipa - 3rd Album

    As management, TAP wouldn't have been a driving force on the creative side. When an artist is unsigned, they might do some A&R to get material together and muster up label interest. This is kind of what they did for Lana, although she already had the songs: they put out Video Games and Blue...

    The Traitors (BBC One)

    It isn't entirely random though. The producers select the traitors based on personality. The UK version suggested that the interviews with Claudia were the decider but I am sure all the audition material and psychological evaluations played a huge role in choosing the traitors, so that they have...

    Mabel - About Last Night... (The Concept Album)

    Although it sounds similar to her in places, it's not Mabel. It's a Tik Tok singer called Raphi.

    Waterloo Road

    They've just kickstarted another block of filming, I think. The initial revival announcement said that there would be at least 30 episodes but apparently this series is split into 3 blocks of 7/8 episodes with each representing a term.

    The Saturdays

    They benefited from being male and One Direction mania. They also had far more money being invested in them. They were put together by Global Media (owners of Capital and Heart) and were their first attempt at A&R so there was a huge desire to make sure that there was a good international push.

    The Masked Singer UK

    Michelle Williams did both the UK and Australian shows last year after doing the US version a couple of years ago. She didn't win but repeat booking are a thing now. I wouldn't be surprised if some celebrities are being offered two editions straight off the bat.
