Statement: Change is Coming
Broadcast: Walt Disney Television has announced that Tamron Hall isn’t going anywhere as they confirm the renewal for the second season of Hall’s talk show. Tamron Hall has been a big hit ever since its premiere back in September with her moving interviews in-depth discussions. In fact, it’s become one of the highest-rated new talk shows in the past 5 years and with the way things are looking she may very well hold that record for 5 more years. Hall has certainly climbed the ranks to earn her crown. As a broadcast journalist, Hall was previously a national news correspondent for NBC news, day-side anchor for MSNBC and host of the program MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall. Though she may be best known for her work on her News magazine show, Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall. After her decision to leave NBC she decided to take on her next chapter with daytime television. Fans can get ready for season 2 of Tamron Hall sometime in 2020-2021.
Some may be bummed to find out that ABC has officially cancelled the French American crime drama television series, Reef Break. The 13-episode run on ABC came to a close after Disney Television Studios’ decision to reevaluate its overseas strategy. The show starred Poppy Montgomery as Cat Chambers, a thief-turned-fixer for the governor of a stunning and seductive Pacific Island Paradise. With Montgomery and Ken Sanzel as executive producers, the show failed to attract an audience and ended up being one of 2019’s flops.
