Other than The Walking Dead, AMC doesn't have any other unqualified hits that would be guaranteed renewal on broadcast network television. In fact, the cable network's second highest performer is the prequel, Fear the Walking Dead, which always runs a distant second to the original, in the Nielsen ratings race. Suffice it to say, the network could use a big hit. Enter the Dietland TV show. Does this new series, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and UnREAL executive producer Marti Noxon have more staying power than the average dieter? Will Dietland be cancelled or renewed for season two on AMC? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

AMC is rounding out its cast for Dietland, its 10-episode straight-to-series darkly comedic drama based on Sarai Walker’s novel. Campbell Scott (House of Cards), Alanna Ubach (Coco, Girlfriends Guide To Divorce), Kelly Hu (Arrow), Marc Blucas (Underground), Ami Sheth (Blindspot) and Jen Ponton (30 Rock) are set in recurring roles opposite leads Julianna Margulies and Joy Nash.
