Netflix, who is already developing Eli Roth's original series "Hemlock Grove" and is in talks with 20th Century Fox TV about possibly picking up recently cancelled "Terra Nova", may also be eying another freshman drama that is facing cancellation: ABC's "The River".
Deadline reports that the streaming giant has had conversations with "The River" producer ABC Studios about the possibility of continuing the thriller/horror series on Netflix. Sources stress that the talks are exploratory at this point in the context of a larger conversation between ABC Studios and Netflix.
Deadline stresses that "The River" is not canceled, but its performance on the network did not meet expectations.
