BREAKING. Cancelled, cancelled, renewed: The Finder is gone, Alcatraz is gone and Touch gets a second season.

Two shows M-Net acquired but haven't started broadcasting yet just got cancelled, and a third one thankfully got renewed for a second season despite low-erish viewership.

Alcatraz which will finally start on 29 May on M-Net won't go anywhere in the buzz stakes anymore - it just got cancelled - like Terra Nova did on M-Net. Ditto for The Finder which will start on 21 June on M-Net Series (DStv 110) - that show is also a gonner.

M-Net haven't yet started showing Touch, the new mystery drama from Kiefer Sutherland, but that at least got a reprieve and a second season.

BREAKING. M-Net Series adds Bones spin-off, The Finder, to the channel's line-up starting 21 June at 20:30.

M-Net Series (DStv 110) has acquired the broadcasting rights and has added the new drama The Finder, which will start on Thursday, 21 June at 20:30 for a first season of at least 13 episodes.

The Finder with Geoff Stults is a spin-off from Bones on Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180) of which the 4th season just started this past Sunday at 20:30.

In The Finder, the eccentric Walter Sherman and his friends find things - from missing objects to people.

Other new shows set to start on M-Net Series in June include the second season of Pretty Little Liars from 9 June at 21:30which is now moving to M-Net Series and away from Vuzu - another indication that M-Net is dismantling its initial idea of having all youth shows on Vuzu.

M-Net Series also has the first season of the racy MTV show I Just Want My Pants Back from 9 June at 18:30, the first season of NYC22 starting on 20 June at 19:30, and the third season of Hawthorne starting on 24 June at 17:30.
