Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, MTV, Medium, Cancellations, Renewals
The showrunners at Medium are feeling quite large today.
One day after receiving a cancellation notice, the cast and crew of the NBC series were given a reprieve. The Patricia Arquette vehicle will now be heading over to CBS.
Being booted by the Peacock might have actually been the best thing for the show. Medium will now get a plum spot right after Ghost Whisperer on Fridays. Although that position is currently occupied by Flashpoint, the police drama is expected to return sometime midseason.
