Question: Has
In Justice been canceled? I just
read on the entertainment news
page that
Jason O'Mara has been cast in a new show. I quite like
In Justice. It's perfect for Friday night, and it would be a shame if ABC didn't give it more of a chance.
Answer: When stars of "on the bubble" shows like
In Justice take roles in pilots for the following season, these new roles are in what's called "second position." In other words, if
In Justice gets renewed (which seems unlikely, though it's not dead quite yet), he'd have to stay with his previous show and they'd have to recast his new role or otherwise rework that pilot. Kind of like what happened to
John Stamos when
Jake in Progress got a pickup (what a mistake) and
ER's producers had to rethink the cast-regular role they had planned for him.
