'Flack' Gets Revived at Amazon

The dramedy starring Anna Paquin was canceled in March — just a week before its second season was set to premiere — as part of a shift in strategy at Pop's parent company, ViacomCBS, which wants to own more of the programming it airs. The critically acclaimed Florida Girls and comedy Best Intentions, which had yet to air, were also shut down in March.

The saga of a cancelled series getting revived has offically begun yet again, and this time, it is Pop TV series Flack that we are talking about. The show, that was cancelled at Pop TV is now being revived at Amazon.

The dramedy starring Anna Paquin was canceled in March — just a week before its second season was set to premiere — as part of a shift in strategy at Pop's parent company, ViacomCBS, which wants to own more of the programming it airs. The critically acclaimed Florida Girls and comedy Best Intentions, which had yet to air, were also shut down in March.

Amazon will have rights to the two existing seasons in the United States and Canada. The streamer hasn't set a premiere date yet.

Flack stars Paquin as Robyn, a sharp and witty PR professional who's an expert at her craft but a complete self-saboteur in her personal life. The dramedy also follows Robyn and her fellow flacks as they figure out how to make the best of bad situations and somehow manage to get out unscathed.

The second season will see Robyn putting her life back together and focusing on repairing her relationship with her sister after her myriad addictions got the better of her at the end of season one. She faces a new and unexpected revelation, however, when she finds out she's pregnant.

Deadline first reported the news.
