History has carved out quite a presence in the world of original scripted series this past year, between the Emmy wins of 'Hatfields & McCoys,' the breakout success of 'The Bible' and a season 2 renewal for 'Vikings,' and now the historical network has added yet another buzz-worthy mini-series to its development slate. History has officially announced 'Sons of Liberty,' a new Revolutionary War drama following some of America's most integral figures, but will the drama prove as monumental as history itself?
With 'Django Unchained' largely in the rear view mirror, and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' currently shooting, Jamie Foxx has pulled a fast one on fans today by announcing his commitment to a new TV project.

New word from Jason Bateman suggests we might have to wait awhile...
Late last night we heard rumors that former '30 Rock' star Alec Baldwin had entered negotiations with NBC for a late-night talk show of his own, potentially filling the slot currently occupied by 'The Voice' host Carson Daly's own series 'Last Call.' Now, NBC has reportedly renewed 'Last Call' with Carson Daly for a 13th season, but does it put to bed any future with Alec Baldwin?
NBC's other major late-night force 'SNL' has very much stepped up its game in the last few outings, with this past Saturday's Melissa McCarthy-fronted turn proving almost as entertaining as her original stint in 2011.

Check out the latest 'SNL' promos to find out!
Just the other day we had heard that The CW was eying a unique strategy to keep its lesser-rated series afloat, considering reduced renewal orders . Several CW series remain in limbo for the moment, but now it seems another scripted series has bitten the dust.

Few 'Dexter' fans would argue that the past season brought with it a major upturn in quality, bringing Deb up to date on her brother's dark secret, but also through Dexter's mysterious new love interest Hannah McKay ('Chuck's' Yvonne Strahovski).

Though the rumor had presented before, yesterday saw the revelation that 'Breaking Bad' and AMC were seriously considering the possibility of a Saul-centric spinoff of the acclaimed drama, to see actor Bob Odenkirk reprising the slippery lawyer character of Saul Goodman in a new context. Opinions on the possibility have run the gamut, but what does Odenkirk himself have to say about a 'Better Call Saul' spinoff? Or about the 'Breaking Bad' finale itself?
While HBO had the fortune of pairing 'Girls' and 'Veep' together in their first seasons, the second go around saved the Emmy-winning political comedy for last with a season 2 premiere of April 14. Julia Louis-Dreyfus will return as our favorite put-upon Vice President Selina Meyer, along with the remainder of the staff from 'Veep' season 1, but who are the new faces in the cast?
