Remember how much we enjoyed Deputy Season 1 Episode 13?
Well, hold onto that thought because it's all you've got.
It seems that even coronavirus quarantine viewing couldn't stave off the ax from one of the most improved freshman shows on the broadcast lineup.
That's right, guys, Fox has whacked Deptuty.
Deputy starred Stephen Dorff as a hotshot deputy who suddenly becomes sheriff of Los Angeles County based on a 150-year-old clause naming the longest-serving deputy as sheriff in the case of the death of the sitting sheriff.
The series also starred Brian Van Holt, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Yara Martinez, Mark Moses, Shane Paul McGhie, and Danielle Moné Truitt.
It's unpleasant news for those of us who stuck with the show despite early less-than-impressive reviews because the series really found its groove in the back half of its freshman season.

Fox is asking Deputy to turn in its badge and gun: The Stephen Dorff-led freshman drama won’t return for a second season, TVLine has learned.
Deputy starred Dorff (fresh off an acclaimed turn on HBO’s True Detective) as Bill Hollister, a throwback lawman who finds himself named the new sheriff of Los Angeles County thanks to an arcane law in the county charter. Yara Martinez (Jane the Virgin) co-starred as Bill’s surgeon wife Paula, and Arrow alum Bex Taylor-Klaus was a standout as Bill’s deputy/driver Brianna Bishop.

“Deputy” has been canceled after just one season at Fox, TheWrap has learned.
The Stephen Dorff-led police drama will not return for a second go at the network, with last month’s season finale now serving as the show’s final episode.
The series, which debuted in January as a midseason replacement, centered on Dorff’s Deputy Bill Hollister, a career lawman who becomes acting sheriff of Los Angeles County when the previous sheriff suddenly drops dead.

According to Jessie Mendoza at StarTattle, “Deputy” is a new TV drama that’s both gritty and exciting. It’s a police drama for modern-day viewers that’s actually made with some classic Western spirit mixed with a large dose of authenticity. The first episode involved the L.A. County Sheriff dying rather suddenly. When he does, an old Wild West rule kicks in and Bill Hollister (Stephen Dorff) gets stuck with the job whether he likes it or not (and he really doesn’t). He seems to have little in common with the underlings on his team who are not only highly-skilled but more

Carol Riley has it in for Bill Hollister and anybody else who gets in her way, but if she thought it was going to be an easy sell to Bill's team to shove him out the door, she's going to have to rethink that position.
On Deputy Season 1 Episode 11, the deputies under Hollister got even closer when a member of the Japanese drug cartel brought a ferocious fight right to the Sheriff's Department.
Riley's timing couldn't have been worse deposing Bill's team to uncover dirt related to the Johnson case. She got nowhere.
Nothing that Riley said made much sense.
She's basing her entire run for Sheriff of Los Angeles County on a hunch that Bill operates like the good old boys club that came before him and uses personal feelings to drive his decisions, to boot.
She's got it all wrong.
It seems unfathomable that the woman didn't do some research into Bill pre-Sheriff.

It seems that not everybody is a fan of Bill Hollister as the Sheriff of Los Angeles County.
There was a lot of political maneuvering on Deputy Season 1 Episode 10, as a new character joined the ranks and tossed her hat into the ring as Sheriff.
When we talked with showrunner Kimberly Harrison at the Scad aTVfest, she said there would be an even bigger threat to Bill's future than Charlie and Jerry. That appears to be District Attorney Riley.
But at the same time Jaime Ray Newman introduced Da Riley, Charlie proved that she's not as Team Charlie as she originally seemed.
If you watch Deputy online, you know that Charlie hasn't been at all interested in fully working with Bill in his new role.
She seemed to think that it wasn't worth her time if he wasn't going to be sporting the badge beyond his initial appointment.
Jerry appealed...

Considering Fox's Deputy opens with Stephen Dorff's titular character Bill Hollister interfering with an Ice raid, it should come as no surprise that the freshman cop drama has tackled complicated issues. During its Feb. 12 episode, the seventh of the season, the spotlight turned to Dorff's sidekick Brianna Bishop, played by Bex Taylor-Klaus (whom The Hollywood Reporter chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg called the best and freshest aspect of the show in his review).

According to Beth Heyn at Heavy, the new Fox show “Deputy” premiered January 2, 2020 at 8 p.m. Et. The show’s star is Stephen Dorff who plays L.A. sheriff Bill Hollister. He’s kind of a modern-day Wyatt Earp who cares a lot more about catching lots of bad guys than he does about playing departmental politics. His style leans more toward driving a vintage Ford Bronco than traveling around the L.A. city streets in a new sheriff’s car or a Fed-style black Suburban. He’s just a cowboy boot-wearing kick-ass cop with an attitude and a no-nonsense approach to everything related

Fox is beginning to have a pattern with their programming.
Their shows are toplined with men and women who are damn good at their jobs but don't always take the conventional route to achieve desired results.
Deputy Season 1 Episode 1 introduces Bill Hollister, a fifth-generation lawman who throws caution to the wind in all aspects of his life.
Bill is like the Conrad Hawkins of law enforcement. Much like his counterpart on The Resident, Bill has a heart of gold, cares enormously about his job and how citizens view his department and uses whatever means necessary to protect and serve.
The first thing we learn about Bill on the job is that he defied regulations to warn illegal immigrants about an upcoming Ice raid. Can't we just watch a TV show and get entertained without a political agenda?
Thankfully, later in the show, Bill offered his reasoning for his hard-line stand against Ice,...

Deputy‘s Bill Hollister is a California lawman who loves horses, hates hypocritical higher-ups and wants nothing more than to protect the good people of Los Angeles County. But when Bill suddenly finds himself named sheriff, thanks to an arcane rule in the county charter, he’d better strap himself to his saddle: The adjustment from boots-on-the-ground sergeant to big boss is a rough one, indeed.

One of the better moments in “True Detective” Season 3 is when an aged Wayne “Purple” Hays (Mahershala Ali) looks at Roland “I’m a Feminist” West (Stephen Dorff) and begs his former partner to “stir some shit up with me.” It’s the kind of favor only former lawmen can ask of each other — one last ride, for old time’s sake, off the books — and it’s also the kind of scene that perfectly prepped Dorff for duty in “Deputy.”
Fox’s new cop drama feels like a natural continuation of the star’s work in Nic Pizzolatto’s beloved HBO series. Once again, Dorff is given a shield and a gun. Once again, he’s playing a good ol’ boy who doesn’t let bureaucratic red tape get in the way of justice. Once again, I can’t stop humming “Old Town Road” every time Dorff swaggers into frame,...

Fox describes its new David Ayer-produced cop drama as “a classic Western with a modern-day attitude and emotionally driven, visceral storytelling” that “brings a gritty authenticity” to genre. And if it weren’t for that grit, star Stephen Dorff tells TheWrap he wouldn’t have signed on to the series.
“I hate network TV and I would never want to be on a ‘CSI’-type show,” the “True Detective” alum said. “This show has got a lot more grit… If anything, I think it’s a more cable show, but it’s made for network television with the rules that we have to follow. But we’re pushing it and they’re letting us push it.”
(Here’s where we quickly point out Dorff did appear on Fox’s “Star,” a network drama. But obviously that Lee Daniels show wasn’t the kind of police procedural he’s dissing here.

As the curtain comes down on Mipcom, Entertainment One has sealed the first international deals on “Deputy,” the modern-day Western procedural that will be on Fox in the U.S.
Fox has acquired the show for its channels in Portugal and Turkey. In Belgium, Telenet has pre-bought the show.
Entertainment One is distributing and the series was its big scripted launch in Cannes. Several more deals are in the offing. Procedural drama is in demand in the international market and also in fairly short supply. Entertainment One, which is in the throes of being bought by Hasbro in a $4 billion deal, has several in its catalogue, including Nathan Fillion’s ABC series “The Rookie.”

Fox has picked up Deputy, a police drama starring Stephen Dorff, developed by Aquaman’s Will Beall and Suicide Squad’s David Ayer.
Deputy, an upcoming Fox TV police drama, is a modern-day Western offering that might evoke memories of the celebrated FX series, Justified. The police drama stars Stephen Dorff as an old-fashioned copper who’s been appointed to lead of one of the world’s largest constabulary organizations, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department.
The drama, which hails at eOne and Fox Entertainment, arrives with some serious creative personnel, notably Will Beall, who wrote the screenplay to the 2018 smash hit, Aquaman, 2013’s Gangster Squad, as well as TV’s Castle and Training Day. Additionally, David Ayer steps in as director for the pilot, bringing experience from films like Suicide Squad, Fury and Bright. Beall and Ayer will also serve as executive producers, joined in that capacity by Chris Long.

Fox just made its first new series pickups, ordering four of its six drama pilots to series. That includes cop/serial killer drama Prodigal Son, starring Tom Payne and Michael Sheen; John Slattery’s AI drama neXt; police drama Deputy, headlined by Stephen Dorff; and the Annie Weisman/Jason Katims sister drama; based on an Australian format.
The drama competition at Fox had been fierce virtually from the start with five of the six pilots emerging as solid contenders. The fifth in the group — soapy family drama Filthy Rich, headlined by Kim Cattrall, which is considered a suitable companion to Empire — remains in contention with deals being worked out.
The mass pickup of new drama series at Fox, which only ordered two new hourlong shows last year, is not good news for the network’s bubble dramas, Lethal Weapon, The Passage and Star.
Fox Orders Live-Action Comedy Series ‘Outmatched’ and Animated ‘The Great North’
I hear Fox’s sixth drama pilot, Tom Kapinos’ Lovestruck, is not going forward at the network. But the show, whose first season takes place over the course of single night at a wedding, reportedly had tested well and has been well received within 20th Century Fox TV, which is expected to shop it elsewhere, similarly to its 2018 Fox pilot Mixtape, which was picked up to series by Netflix.
Of the newly picked-up Fox dramas, one, neXt (plus Filthy Rich), comes from Fox’s former corporate sibling 20th Century Fox TV. The others come from other studios, Warner Bros. TV (Prodigal Son), Universal TV (Weisman/Katims) and eOne (Deputy), underlining the now-independent network’s commitment to work with all suppliers. All are co-productions with Fox Entertainment. The Fox drama lineup also includes top acting talent with Sheen, Slattery and Dorff.
The pickup of Prodigal Son makes it 3-for-3 for Berlanti Prods., with all three of the company’s broadcast pilots this season going to series, including the CW’s Batwoman and Katy Keene.
Prodigal Son passed one of the biggest tests for a pilot – recasting its lead, with Payne replacing originally cast Finn Jones after the pilot read. Payne and Sheen, who plays his father, proved a formidable duo, drawing praise for their acting — especially Sheen who has a showcase role as a notorious serial killer.
2019 Fox Pilots and Series Orders
Police drama Deputy has been praised for Dorff’s acting and the directing work of Bright helmer David Ayer. eOne secured Dorff in what might be the biggest talent deal so far this broadcast pilot season. Dorff will reportedly be paid north of $200,000 an episode. If the show goes to a second season, Dorff would become an executive producer. In conjunction with his casting in Deputy, Dorff made a feature script development deal with eOne to develop and star in a movie, which would be produced by Ayer and Chris Long’s Cedar Park Entertainment.
The four dramas join two comedies picked up to series today by Fox, Outmatched (fka Geniuses) and animated half-hour The Great North. and previously ordered straight-to-series animated comedies Bless the Harts and Duncanville.

Of the newly picked-up Fox dramas, one, neXt (plus Filthy Rich), comes from Fox’s former corporate sibling 20th Century Fox TV. The others come from other studios, Warner Bros. TV (Prodigal Son), Universal TV (Weisman/Katims) and eOne (Deputy), underlining the now-independent network’s commitment to work with all suppliers. All are co-productions with Fox Entertainment. The Fox drama lineup also includes top acting talent with Sheen, Slattery and Dorff.
The pickup of Prodigal Son makes it 3-for-3 for Berlanti Prods., with all three of the company’s broadcast pilots this season going to series, including the CW’s Batwoman and Katy Keene.
Prodigal Son passed one of the biggest tests for a pilot – recasting its lead, with Payne replacing originally cast Finn Jones after the pilot read. Payne and Sheen, who plays his father, proved a formidable duo, drawing praise for their acting — especially Sheen who has a showcase role as a notorious serial killer.
2019 Fox Pilots and Series Orders
Police drama Deputy has been praised for Dorff’s acting and the directing work of Bright helmer David Ayer. eOne secured Dorff in what might be the biggest talent deal so far this broadcast pilot season. Dorff will reportedly be paid north of $200,000 an episode. If the show goes to a second season, Dorff would become an executive producer. In conjunction with his casting in Deputy, Dorff made a feature script development deal with eOne to develop and star in a movie, which would be produced by Ayer and Chris Long’s Cedar Park Entertainment.
The four dramas join two comedies picked up to series today by Fox, Outmatched (fka Geniuses) and animated half-hour The Great North. and previously ordered straight-to-series animated comedies Bless the Harts and Duncanville.

Exclusive: Fox’s drama pilot Deputy is recasting one of the female leads opposite star Stephen Dorff. Bex Taylor-Klaus has been cast as Deputy Breanna Bishop opposite in the pilot from David Ayer, Will Beall and eOne. She replaces Jasmine Kaur, who originally was cast in the role.
As often is the case, the decision was made after the pilot’s table read when producers decided to take the character in a different direction. That led to the recasting of Kaur with Taylor-Klaus, who identifies as gender non-binary. Such changes are a normal part of the creative process and is why the networks still do pilots.
