These days, watching teen dramas feels a little like taking a trip to the library. Studios have always loved established IP, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that so many of today’s biggest YA shows are based on books. There’s Netflix’s Heartstopper, Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, the recently canceled but still wildly popular Shadow and Bone, and the upcoming We Were Liars, to name just a few. Even Paramount+’s School Spirits was adapted from a not-yet published graphic novel. In recent years, Hollywood has also begun tapping into a new kind of literary source that just might hold the key to the future of teen dramas: BookTok.

There’s always been a place for weirdness in the young adult TV sphere. From the original Roswell to recent hits like School Spirits or the tragically short-lived Astrid and Lilly Save the World, the genre has never been afraid to take big swings. Heck, prior to its rebranding, The CW’s entire ethos could basically be summed up as “super weird teen dramas” like Riverdale and Stargirl. When done right, YA shows that embrace chaos and don't take themselves too seriously can be great — or, at the very least, highly entertaining.

The 26-year-old actor was introduced to Hallmark fans in season two of The Way Home in the role of Adult Jacob Landry. Spencer made his Adult Jacob debut on the February 25 episode of the show in a moment that fans had been eagerly anticipating.

See Spencer‘s 10 Fun Facts below…
One thing about me is I love a game. Video games, board games, card games, billiards. I find on a long shoot it’s a great way to kill some time playing a mental game like password or 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. I worked at a metal fabrication factory operating the laser cutter.

Paramount has decided to not move forward with a second season of “Wolf Pack,” Variety has confirmed.
Based on Edo Van Belkom’s book series and created by Jeff Davis, the show follows two teens whose lives are changed when a California wildfire awakens a supernatural creature. Season 1 aired in Jan 2023 alongside the “Teen Wolf” movie. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rodrigo Santoro, Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard, Chloe Rose Robertson and Tyler Lawrence Gray starred.
Sources say Paramount hoped the audience behind the series would have grown from Season 1 to Season 2, but due to the dual Hollywood strikes, the likelihood of that happening was cut short since production was stopped. Season 2 would’ve arrived roughly two years after Season 1 debuted.
The series serves as the latest Paramount+ original to be canceled following “Joe Pickett,” which ended after two seasons in October 2023. Along with the rest of last year’s cancellations including “iCarly,...

The streaming gods have smiled on Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
The Disney+ series based on author Rick Riordan’s best-selling books opened to a good-sized audience in the week before Christmas. The first two episodes, which debuted the evening of Dec. 19, drew about 572 million minutes of watch time, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. With a combined run time of 80 minutes, that works out to about 7.15 million complete runs (or “views” as currently defined by much of the industry) of the two episodes in the United States.
Disney had earlier said that the first episode had earned 13.3 million views worldwide — equivalent to a little more than 505 million minutes — over its first six days. The Nielsen figures for the premiere put Percy Jackson ahead of Disney+’s last two Marvel premieres, Secret Invasion (461 million minutes) and season two of Loki (446 million), in total viewing time.
Prime Video’s Reacher moved up to the overall No.

Reacher began its second season with big viewing-time numbers, cementing its status as one of the most popular shows on Amazon’s Prime Video.
The series based on Lee Child’s novels had 1.69 billion minutes of watch time for the week of Dec. 11-17; season two’s first three episodes debuted Dec. 15 (viewing time for the week also includes the eight episodes of season one).

Season two is on a weekly release pattern after the opening three-episode salvo.
The 1.69 billion minutes for Reacher put the series in second place overall in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week. Netflix’s movie Leave the World Behind repeated as the overall No. 1 title, edging up to 1.95 billion minutes of viewing from 1.92 billion the previous week.

Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish teased an increase in licensing deals across the entertainment giant’s content amid a rapidly expanding streaming ecosystem.
“We continue to look at streaming expansion, and in that regard, we think there is an opportunity to lean more into licensing,” Bakish said during the company’s third quarter earnings call. “That’s really about going after incremental markets, focusing our contribution on — call it Hollywood content — content that we’re already creating for Paramount+ in our markets and doing deals with partners where they take that content [and] ingest it [onto] their platforms.”
He continued by noting that “leaning in incrementally to partners” is “quite compelling from an expansion standpoint” for Paramount Global and its subsideries, including streamer Paramount+.
“With content at the core, Paramount’s combination of advertising, subscription and licensing revenue streams continues to provide attractive growth opportunities and diversification,” Bakish said. “This is particularly...

Is Paramount+ cleaning house?
It seems that every scripted series that doesn't have Taylor Sheridan's name attached is getting the pink slip.
The latest series to get canceled is Joe Pickett, which recently wrapped its sophomore run on the service.
We get it: The streaming bubble has burst.
Amid the SAG-AFTRA strike and coming off the WGA strike, some controversial decisions have been made across the whole breadth of the business.
But this latest cancellation from Paramount+ hurts, mainly because the series didn't waste a single scene.
Paramount+ recently caught heat when it promoted the season finale as the series finale before walking the footage back.
These things happen.
It happened with Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on Max, which went on to get renewed, so maybe it was a mistake.
But it doesn't get away from the fact that we're losing a gem of a series that delivered on many fronts.

Peyton List is waiting for the writers strike to end so she can get back to work on the sixth and final season of the Netflix series Cobra Kai – and once that’s done, she’ll be getting back to work on the Paramount+ series School Spirits! Paramount+ confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they have ordered season 2 of the show, with filming expected to take place in 2024.
Based on a graphic novel by Nate and Megan Trinrud and Maria Nguyen, School Spirits sees List taking on the role of Madison, a student who dies at her school and is unable to leave as she tries to discover who killed her.
The first season ended on a cliffhanger, so I’m sure viewers are glad to hear the story will continue through another batch of episodes. The Trinrud siblings will be overseeing those episodes with showrunner Oliver Goldstick.
