BREAKING. M-Net moves Under the Dome from Friday 26 July to Tuesday; dumps Vegas; creates a Last Resort impossible choice with SET.

You're reading it here first. 

With boffo ratings in America coupled with rave reviews for Under the Dome, M-Net is immediately dumping Vegas from its Tuesday schedule at 20:30 and will be moving the hit new drama series from Stephen King and Steven Spielberg from Friday 26 July at 20:30 where it would have started, to Tuesday 23 July at 20:30 on M-Net (DStv 101).

M-Net is throwing the cancelled Vegas away which will now burn off the remaining episodes on Fridays at 20:30. Under the Dome which has been getting great viewership and is beloved by TV critics in America, will now start 3 days earlier than planned in South Africa and on a much better day.

Instead of starting on 26 July, Under the Dome will now start on Tuesday 23 July at 20:30 when more potential viewers are home than on a Friday night.

Under the Dome's new starting date and timeslot on M-Net also instantly creates more drama on another front: an impossible choice for South African viewers.

Tuesday 23 July also happens to be the date when the great drama series Last Resort starts at 20:50 on Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 127) set aboard an American nuclear submarine which defies orders.

With both Under the Dome and Last Resort which are both great must-watch TV series - and with both series' pilot episodes playing out like nailbiting big screen movies in terms of action, plot and special effects - DStv viewers without a PVR face a dilemma.

Viewers will make a tough choice on which high quality drama series to watch or will have to start studying those schedule to find the repeat of one of the shows.

BREAKING. Last Resort picked up by Sony Entertainment Television; great submarine drama set to start on 23 July at 20:50.

 

You're reading it here first. 

I can exclusively reveal that the excellent Last Resort has been picked up by Sony Entertainment Television (DStv ccc) and break the news that the American submarine island drama will start on SET on Tuesday 23 July at 20:50 for a first season of episodees.

In November 2012 I reported that pay-TV broadcaster M-Net actually picked up the broadcast rights to Last Resort which would have started in January 2013 on M-Net (DStv 101). Then ratings started to fall for the subbmarine drama which had an unwinnable crazy timeslot in America - shown too early and up against massive entenched shows.

M-Net quietly removed the show from M-Net's schedule line-up and Last Resort remained in limo. 

The good news is that this terrific drama - at least two episodes are like amazing movies in their own right, including the pilot episode - is now coming to Sony Entertainment Television after I asked Sony yesterday about it. 

In the drama an American nuclear submarine, the USS Colorado, goes rogue, their is an ongoing mystery as to why and lots of political intrigued, as well as on the island, Sainte Marina, which they're temporarily calling their own where the local inhabitants are not too pleased.

Last Resort is a great and compelling drama series with Andre Braugher as Captain Marcus Chaplin and Scott Speedman as executive officer Sam Kendal.

Exciting new drama series Last Resort would have been on M-Net and would have started in January. Now the show might be cancelled and now it's not.

You're reading it here first. 

Bummer: The exciting new drama series Last Resort about the crew of an American nuclear submarine who goes rogue and ends up at their own island would have started on M-Net on 2 January, but will now not be seen on the channel at all.

Two weeks ago Last Resort was not picked up for any further additional shows; Last Resort has not been cancelled outright technically yet, but the production was informed that there won't be any additional episode orders for now.

The cast and production all remain under contract and the actors have not been let out of their contract options and Last Resort will definitely see at least 13 episodes in America.

M-Net moved, and moved Last Resort off of the channel. The show is actually good, exciting and has great visual effects - especially the pilot episode plays like a riveting movie.

I asked M-Net whether Last Resort might just have been moved to later in the year and another month, or whether the show is off of the channel permanently. I'm told that Last Resort, as it stands, will not be airing at all on the channel.

VIDEO. First TV trailer for the brand-new TV drama, Last Resort, in which the crew of a nuclear submarine charts a new and dangerous course.

Here is the very first, brand-new trailer for the upcoming new TV drama series, Last Resort, with Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher about the nuclear submarine, USS Colorado, which disobeys a direct order to annihilate Pakistan with nuclear ballistic missiles.

The renegade crew of the USS Colorado defects, inhabits a new island, Sainte Marina, and makes it the world's first new nation with nuclear weapons.

The family members of the USS Colorado are still left in America. The rest of the world is unsure of how to react and America wants to destroy the island. Last Resort, at first take, comes across as a bit of Terra Nova, meets Lost, meets The Event, meets SeaQuest DSV (before it went off the rails).
