Really? Totally went over my head ! Mind you it’s not of interest to me and I don’t watch much on Netflix anyway!

Yes, that's what 'optioning' is all about.

A studio pays a certain amount for the 'option' of dramatising a book. If the option is not taken up within a certain time period, it expires and can either be renewed or another studio can option it. Or not.

Thanks that explains why we’ve heard nothing, there were also rumblings about a Miss Haversham film if I recall, presume that won’t see the light of day now either.

I thought it had a cult following? surprised they cancelled it so quickly if so.

Yes I thought so but wasn’t sure if I was correct because the fanfare was a tad over egged and some people made it seem like they had actually purchased the full rights ( which has been done by some unscrupulous companies to stop a rival making a film they have no intention of making themselves.)

They produced so little with a NF team behind them, so they aren’t going to produce anything on their own. Pretty sure they got rid of most of Archewell production staff months ago, before the NF announcement that the deal is over.

Stop lying 🤥

Can we please leave this stupid argument now!
its getting tired and boring.

See there you go again saying I never created a thread. But I have. Again you should say I have never created a Meghan thread and then you will be right.

Until then simply saying I never created a thread is a lie.

Enough

You refused to produce any thread link- because you have none!!!!!!!

I have been very patient you, even though you got caught out lying about starting Meg threads and had the audacity to accuse me of lying. You been proved to be making it all up!

You never started a thread, all you do is post aggressive comments and look for attention.

Do not contact me again. No one believes a word you have to say.

I don't think it had much to do with the original. Different city, different cast (not sure whether the old cast dic cameos). TBH, I could never understand the hype around it - it was fortunate that there were 9 (I think) series to go at over lockdown. The bits I saw were a bit shit, but I'm quite particular about legal dramas.

*Did cameos. Let's hope there weren't any dic(k) cameos!!

Absolutely, but I still say good luck to her; after all somebody's got to bring some money in and it doesn't appear Harry's capable of doing it

Of course it's not clear what she'll actually be doing yet and how big her part will be, but hopefully it'll pay for Harry's court cases and the security they seem to expect

I can see why it flopped if it had no bearing to the original (which I’ve never seen) reboots never seem to really work apart from one in my opinion, Dallas! The reboot was fantastic I was gutted when it was cancelled 😞

Might have made it more interesting though! 🤣

Sadly I’m not sure it will puzzled , if industry insiders are to be believed, you don’t get big bucks for cameos ( unless you are Marlon Brando!) apparently all Meghan has been offered is her own wardrobe, changing room and stylist .
this of course could be incorrect but I’m inclined to believe it , let’s not forget Kate blanchets unpaid and uncredited cameo in hot fuzz!

Dang, they could have had a lawsuit over a frozen todger, and had Elizabeth Arden to sponsor the episode!

🤣 sounds more interesting!
im sorry without James spader pointing and gesturing it’s not a legal show to me! 🤣

Is it pantomime season yet?

No it’s scarier than that…

I'm just back from a month in the USA and I can say it seems the country is hurting. There's not the usual bonne vie. People are restless and unsure about the future like the UK.

It's just dawned on me that this was Meghan's role in 90210 😀

I guess not everyone can be Dame Judy Dench....

You 'pointing out' and 'hardly seeing' doesn't necessarily mean you're right though. Just a thought.

The facts speak for themselves.

None of Meghan's commercial projects have been a great success, or any other sort of success.

Just because people might like gossiping about you does not mean they're going to invest their time or money in watching a show just because you're in it. That has been shown time and time again.
