Four months after Netflix canceled One Day at a Time, Vulture has learned the sitcom is getting a new life on the CBS Corporation–owned cable network best known as the American home of Schitt’s Creek. Pop has green-lit season four of the Sony Pictures TV–produced comedy, ordering 13 episodes for a 2020 premiere in what appears to be the first-ever example of a streaming series shifting to cable.
Initially, industry speculation centered around the possibility of ODAAT moving to CBS Corp.’s streaming platform, CBS All Access. But at the same time that some were touting All-Access as a home for ODAAT, Pop execs were making a strong push to land the show. It soon became clear that All-Access was out of the running, since Netflix had no intention of letting Sony out of a contractual clause that blocked the studio from selling ODAAT to another streaming service for several years.
For their part, Kellett and Royce said they believe Pop will prove to be a perfect fit for their series. “We’re both Schitt’s Creek fans, so when we heard Pop [was pursuing the show], we said, ‘If that’s the type of content they’re doing—strong stories of love and acceptance—then yeah, great, we’re thrilled,’” Kellett said. Added Royce, “We really seem to fit in with their brand, with their philosophy of the network.
As for Sony, finding a way to keep ODAAT alive was a priority for the studio as soon as Netflix pulled the plug. “It’s really important to us,” Sony Pictures Television president Jeff Frost told Vulture. “The same day we heard from Netflix, we started reaching out to everyone we could reach out to.
