Is Amber Riley Leaving 'Glee'

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 10 May 2012 02:13:12 PM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

Has Amber Riley called it quits on "Glee"? After starring on the hit Fox show for three years, she tweeted what seemed like a goodbye message:

?That's a wrap on Amber Riley! Just closed a chapter in my life, the only thing I've known day in and day out for three years. I'm going to miss the whole Glee family, seeing them everyday! I have so many brothers and sisters now. But I am looking forward to a much needed and deserved summer vacation! School's Out Glee Kids! Let's play!?

That tweet was followed-up by this, sending somewhat of a mixed message to fans:

We're guessing she means stay tuned to the show's season finale to find out where Mercedes is going after graduation, but there's still no official word about her fate on the show.

Last year, Riley hinted to E! Online that she was contemplating leaving the show behind.

"I may not be coming back for a fourth season," Riley told E! Online. "Who knows? Whatever happens this third season is what happens, and I think everybody's OK with it...I love my job to pieces, but when it's time to go, it's time to go and, hopefully, there are greater things on the horizon."

Tell us: Would you be sad to see Mercedes go? Or is it time for a new class to take over?

DirecTV Announces Original Drama Series

Taking a page out of Netflix's book, DirecTV is coming out with its own original series. The network picked up "Damages" and "Friday Night Lights" previously.

The original series, titled "Rogue," is a drama centered on an undercover cop who takes on a gangster after her son is killed in a shooting, with Thandie Newton playing the lead role, according to a press release.

DirecTV has ordered 10 episodes of the drama, which gives Newton her first title role in a series. Her previous credits mostly include film ('"he Pursuit Of Happyness," "Crash" and more), but she made appearances on "ER" from 2003-2009.

"'Rogue' is a powerful drama which represents a new model for the entertainment industry by opening up maximum creative opportunities to assemble a stellar international cast led by Thandie Newton and topline writing and creative talent,? said Nick Hamm of Greenroom Entertainment, which is producing the series along with independent studio Entertainment One Television (eOne).

"Rogue" is set to air in Summer 2013.

Fox Renews Touch, Cancels Alcatraz and The Finder

Although Fox's Upfront presentation isn't until next week, the network has already come forward with some bittersweet news. They've renewed the Kiefer Sutherland drama Touch for a second season, but Alcatraz and The Finder have both been axed.

J.J. Abrams's supernatural action series Alcatraz might not be dead and buried yet; the show is reportedly being shopped around at other networks, so there is a chance it could be revived. Unfortunately, Bones spinoff The Finder is most likely done forever. If you're a fan, be sure to catch the finale Friday night for one last goodbye to the series.

'Cougar Town' Officially Moving To TBS

This isn't just time to open a bottle of wine. It's time to break out Big Carl and call all your neighbors over for an impromptu party.

"Cougar Town" has been picked up by TBS, where the comedy's fourth season will air in early 2013. According to TV reporter Josef Adalian, the next season of the show, which stars Courteney Cox as the ringleader of a group of wine-loving friends and neighbors, will consist of 15 episodes.

The network has also picked up the rerun rights to the 61 episodes in the show's first three seasons. In other words, much wine will be drunk on TBS starting early next year. ABC's loss of the lovable Crew (which also includes Busy Philipps, Ian Gomez, Dan Byrd, Brian Van Holt and Christa Miller) is TBS' gain.

"'Cougar Town' is a smart, whimsical sitcom that draws its humor from likable, relatable characters" Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TBS, said in a statement. "We are thrilled to have 'Cougar Town' moving to the TBS neighborhood as the network continues to expand its slate of original comedy series."

In a nice bit of cross-promotion, "Cougar Town" actor Josh Hopkins has booked a guest appearance in the fourth episode of the upcoming TBS comedy "Men at Work," which debuts May 24. Hopkins also had a job lined up on the NBC pilot "Lady Friends," in case "Cougar Town" was canceled. Presumably, he'll have to give up that gig now that the Cul-De-Sac Crew is going to keep chugging pinot noir on TBS.

There's only one thing to say to this news: Cheers!
