John Krasinski's Some Good News won't be rebooted as a ViacomCBS show

The New York Times

The announcement last year that Krasinski had struck a deal with ViacomCBS to turn his pandemic web show into a weekly series that he won't star in generated some backlash that the deal undercut the altruistic spirit of the show. Krasinski tells The New York Times that plans for any adaptations have been dropped. “ViacomCBS and I were trying to figure out a way to make it into an actual weekly news show,” he says, “but in the end we both agreed not to move forward and keep it in its original format.”
