“Woke” has been canceled by Hulu, Variety has confirmed.
The series aired its second season on the streaming platform in April. The comedy series had originally premiered on Hulu in Sept. 2020. Both seasons consisted of eight episodes each.
Inspired by the life of artist Keith Knight, “Woke” starred Lamorne Morris as Keef, a Black cartoonist on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changed everything. With a newfound consciousness, Keef navigated the new voices and ideas challenging him, all without setting aflame to everything he’d already built. The series combimed live-action with animated sequences, with Keef seeing and hearing inanimate objects talking to him as he becomes more aware of racism in his everyday life. Along with Morris, “Woke” also starred T. Murph, Blake Anderson, Sasheer Zamata and Rose McIver.
The show was developed by Marshall Todd and Knight. They also served as executive producers alongside Maurice “Mo” Marable,...

Jerry ‘let’s blow some shit up’ Bruckheimer has been trying to get an adaptation for the novel Apaches up and running since 1997 when he bought the rights.
The novel was written by Lorenzo Carcaterra and tells the story of a group of 6 NYPD cops that after being pensioned-off decide to continue fighting crime even without the law behind them. They target an evil drug cartel baroness known as Lucia using all their expertise to bring her empire down.
The project has gone through many writers in the past including Marshall Todd, John Ridley, John Fusco and David Klass. It seems now Jerry Bruckheimer has finally found the two writers he thinks will bring the project full circle.
Sean O’Keefe and Will Staples have reportedly been hired to adapt the renegade cop story. I can only assume with both writers cutting their teeth by writing the videogames Pursuit Force and Lair,...

Apparently power producer Jerry Bruckheimer has been attempting to adapt Lorenzo Carcaterra's novel Apaches since 1997 when Disney beat out Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers in a huge bidding war for the property. While writers like Marshall Todd (Bad Boys II), David Klass (Walking Tall) and many more have given it a shot, it sounds like no one cracked it. Now Bruckheimer is letting another writing duo take a stab at it as Variety reports Sean O'Keefe and Will Staples will try to adapt the gritty crime story about a group of retired renegade cops who take it upon themselves to deliver justice in New York City. The writing duo of O'Keefe and Staples has generated significant buzz after two of their scripts (World's Most Wanted and an adaptation of another novel, The Cruelest Miles) were picked up for production. They are also responsible for delivering The Murder of King Tut...

The six friends - one of whom has mafia rather than cop connections - set themselves against an Arizona-based drug cartel baroness known as Lucia, both sides using their cross-country connections to strike against one another.The plan is to base the new script only loosely on the novel,...
