Well this isn't exactly good
news. I guess it's time to just give up hope.
It's frustrating to hear things go this way. But the last paragraph of the
Variety piece makes a good point, albiet a moot one.
Reps for 20th and Showtime declined comment. One person familiar with the studio's thinking, however, said fans of the show shouldn't write an obit for "Arrested" just yet, noting 20th is the studio that revived "Family Guy."
There had been talk on Aint it cool regarding Hurwitz moving on to other projects, most notably a film project produced by Ronnie Howard and Brian Grazer and more importantly
Imagine Entertainment.
More than likely, it's in Hurwitz best interest to move on to other things. Either way, it seems like the
death rattle and
nails in the coffin are finally solidifying now.
But at the same time, how much would the series be impacted by the departure of Mitchell Hurwitz? Anyone? Brian?
