BREAKING. Drama shows Lie to Me with Tim Roth and Human Target with Mark Valley both cancelled as show shake-out for the year starts.

Two brilliant shows, Lie to Me (M-Net) and Human Target (M-Net, SABC1) just got cancelled. The bloodshed is starting as the American TV channels are announcing from Monday daily which TV shows got picked up for new seasons and what new shows are planned, as well as which ones are over and cancelled.

The Fox network in America that shows both Lie to Me (in its 3rd season) with Tim Roth and Human Target (in its 2nd season) with Mark Valley were not renewed for further seasons.

The new police drama Chicago Code starting in July on M-Net Series (DStv 110) has also been cancelled.

BREAKING. Lie to Me on M-Net renewed for a third season and another 13 episodes.

Lie to Me on M-Net has just been renewed in America for a third season and another 13 episodes.

The Fox network in America has decided to give the somewhat struggling Lie to Me a third season and another 13 episodes. So far only 10 episodes of the second season has been broadcast in America, with the second half of the second season starting in June, and the first half ending on M-Net in June.

Fox has also given the go-ahead for a second season and another 13 episodes of the new show Human Target with Mark Valley. I told you in February RIGHT HERE that M-Net has also snagged the broadcasting rights to Human Target. I asked M-Net earlier this week whether it has chosen a channel for the first season of Human Target like M-Net Action (DStv 106), but no decision has been made yet, I've been told. It does however look likely that Human Target will be going out on the main M-Net channel, and will be scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.
