7 Little Johnstons, Killer Confessions & 4 More Cancelled By Discovery

June 23, 2016 by RenewCancelTV 6 Comments

Is There 7 Little Johnstons Season 3? Cancelled Or Renewed?

Discovery has cancelled reality shows 7 Little Johnstons, Killer Confessions, The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead, Unusual Suspects and Hollywood & Crime (with The Little Couple in cancellation limbo), according to THR.

The news comes as LMNO, the production company behind the terminated shows, has issued a $7 million lawsuit against Discovery, accusing the company of conspiring with a “criminal extortionist” to get its hands on the shows in question.

In a statement, Discovery confirmed the cancellations while stating it will fight the lawsuit:

“Discovery is a global content company committed to operating with integrity in all our business practices and we expect our business partners to live up to that same standard. We understand that LMNO has issued a complaint against Discovery and while it’s not our practice to comment on ongoing litigation, we will vigorously defend against LMNO’s lawsuit.”

We have worked with LMNO Productions for more than a decade on a number of series and specials that have aired across many of Discovery’s global networks. Together, our companies have enjoyed great success. At this time, we have decided to terminate certain of our contracts with LMNO, based on the results of a lengthy review of long-standing production agreements which revealed procedures and practices that did not respect Discovery’s contractual rights. We believe that at the heart of any enterprise is trust and mutual respect between commercial partners.”

LMNO claims Discovery’s cancellation of The Little Couple is a “smokescreen” to continue the series on its own:

But LMNO says this was a “smokescreen” as Discovery “secretly began shooting new episodes of The Little Couple on its own more than a month ago as part of its scheme to take the show.”

Deadline further reports on the lawsuit:

The suit is replete with high drama. LMNO claims that it’s been the victim of an extortionist accountant who’d been embezzling from the company for years and falsifying the records to conceal his crime. When confronted, the suit claims, he attempted to extort $800,000 from the company, and when LMNO Productions president and CEO Eric Schotz refused, he turned the company’s financial records over to Discovery, which then launched an audit of LMNO’s books. According to the lawsuit, “Discovery’s actions were all designed to drum up the pretense of a contract dispute, so that Discovery could claim to ‘terminate’ the contracts and distance itself from LMNO. On June 17, 2016, Discovery did exactly that: sending notices of termination on six different series.”

The fallout leaves The Little Couple in limbo; 7 Little Johnstons cancelled after two seasons; Killer Confessions and The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead both axed after one season (the latter slated to premiere July 18, 2016); Unusual Suspects dead after eight seasons, plus Hollywood & Crime.

The Little Couple had already been renewed for Season 9, to premiere later in 2016. With Discovery reportedly filming new episodes on its own, the show which follows Bill Klein and Jen Arnold may not be cancelled indefinitely.

Indeed, Discovery may ultimately decide to continue all six shows, just not with LMNO. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor developments…

RIP.

    I don’t care what channel The Little Couple is on, it should stay on TV. There is no huge drama, no falseness to the show……simply a great show with a family that loves each other and shows respect for each other. Will and Zoe are two of the cutest, sweetest, and smartest kids I’ve seen. I (and thousands of others) genuinely) care about this family. They need to remain on TV!!!

    The little couple is the most wholesome show on tv these days-Please keep it on-the other shows cancelled are no way can be compared to THE LITTLE COUPLE-no drama,family fun just a normal couple who have had sickness and have stuck together thru it all-We need more shows like this instead of the TRASH that’s on now.Please bring back THE LITTLE COUPLE

    Love the Little Couple! A nice, decent, productive family is what we all see, not that they are “little people” but that they are people overcoming challenging odds and succeeding. We all love following their triumphs and struggles with their lives and their adorable children. The Duggars were those people, as well….and TLC canceled them ~ stupid move!!!! DON”T CANCEL THE LITTLE COUPLE. And bring back The Duggars….stop making them all culpable for one kid’s mess.
