Where Should the Actors Who've Been Written Off or Killed Off or Had Shows Canceled Sign Next? | |  | | | | | | | Anyone who's been keeping an eye on the free agency action this summer knows things are straight-up bonkers.
Stars abandoning franchises. Heroes turned into villains. Surprise retirements. Ridiculous amounts of money getting thrown around. HBO renewing then canceling Vinyl after one lackluster season...
We're speaking, of course, about this summer's television free agency market. Much like the sports world, TV is in the off-season (depending on how you feel about Seinfeld reruns and pre-October baseball).
So with all of the shows wrapped up in time for last week's Emmy noms and fall programming still just a twinkle in Les Moonves's eye, we're taking stock of who's available on the television free agency market. Perhaps their character was unceremoniously killed off or written off the show—or the whole darn show was canceled, leaving an entire cast and crew searching for greener pastures. Or their character was left possibly dead on a cliffhanger finale with their two-season contract up and ready for negotiation.* We're going to play the super-agents to these wayward stars and put them in the best possible role/series to showcase their now-in-demand talents. Even if those shows are a figment of our imagination that sees Matt Saracen helming a Gilmore Girls reboot companion series. Yes, we are going in. All in. Show us the syndication!
