ViacomCBS has acquired John Krasinski's Some Good News program and plans to air a version of it across its television and digital platforms.

Deadline said Krasinski will executive produce, but not host the show. It will be produced by Comedy Central Productions.

"Could not be more excited and proud to be partnering with CBS/Viacom to be able to bring Some Good News to so many more people," Krasinksi said in a statement to Variety.

Last Sunday, he announced the show -- which highlighted positive stories from around the world -- would be taking a break.

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star Whitney Way Thore splits from fiance

My Big Fat Fabulous Life star Whitney Way Thore is a single woman.

The 36-year-old television personality confirmed her split from her fiancé, Chase Severino, in an Instagram post Thursday.

"This is a really weird and uncomfortable thing to have to 'announce' on social media, but as I get more questions and hear more rumors, I figured it was time. Chase and I are no longer engaged," Thore wrote.

Thore confirmed reports that Severino is expecting his first child with his pregnant girlfriend.

"After experiencing a lot of ups and downs and still living apart, Chase reconnected with a woman with whom he has had a long history. Chase recently told me this information and the fact that it had resulted in a pregnancy," she said. "Chase will be a father in October."

Thore said she's focused on the future as she moves on from her relationship with Severino.

"I'm not interested in anything hateful being directed toward anyone. I would ask for privacy for all involved as we move on and focus on the future," she said.

Severino confirmed the news in a post on his own account.

"I don't even know where/how to start. I am very excited to announce I am expecting a child in the fall," the expectant father wrote.

"I have nothing but love and respect for Whitney and our time together. Thank you for always supporting us. As we now go our separate ways, I ask for privacy for Whitney, myself, and the mother of my child who wishes to remain anonymous," he said.

Rumors of a split surfaced this month after Thore and Severino unfollowed and deleted photos of each other on social media. Thore and Severino then followed each other again amid the speculation.

Thore and Severino announced their engagement in December after Severino proposed during a trip to Paris, France, in October. The couple had a whirlwind romance.

Thore came to fame after appearing in a 107.5 KZL "Fat Girl Dancing" video, which went viral online. She has starred on the TLC series My Big Fat Fabulous Life since 2015.

ABC cancels 'Single Parents' and 'Bless This Mess'

ABC has canceled comedies Single Parents and Bless This Mess after two seasons.

Liz Meriwether (New Girl) co-created Single Parents with J.J. Philbin and co-created Bless This Mess with series star Lake Bell.

Meriwether compared the cancellations to the Red Wedding episode of Game of Thrones on Instagram and uploaded on-set photos from Bless This Mess.

"Two shows canceled in one day? I get the message, ABC! This is my broadcast Red Wedding. But seriously, folks, thank you so much for watching these shows. We loved making them. We loved writing them. I feel so grateful to have been given the chance to work with so many incredible people. Thank you, thank you," Meriwether said.

Bell also discussed Bless This Mess being canceled on Instagram.

"I got pooped on by 7 different species of animals, got stabbed by Jim O'Hare while dressed like a buck, smushed my face in @daxshepard's buttcheeks while he ran around sweating, got catapulted into a freezing pond with non-potable water and many many more... and, I'd do it all again," Bell said about her experiences on the show alongside on-set photos.

Single Parents star Taran Killam said he was bummed on Instagram that the show will not be continuing.

"Bummed to not be telling more stories with these characters but overwhelmingly grateful to be given the opportunity to do it in the first place," he said along with a photo of the cast.

ABC additionally canceled The Goldberg's spinoff Schooled after two seasons, Emergence after one season and the reboot of Kids Say The Darndest Things with Tiffany Haddish after one season.

The network renewed American Housewife, The Bachelor, Black-ish, The Conners, Dancing with the Stars, The Goldbergs, A Million Little Things, Mixed-ish, The Rookie, Shark Tank, Stumptown, 20/20, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Which cult animated series was been revived by Adult Swim?

Adult Swim announced on Twitter Friday that the network will air a new season of Tuca & Bertie in 2021. Netflix canceled the animated series after its first season premiered May 3, 2019.

Adult swim confirmed the season would have 10 episodes in a press release. They retain the option to produce further seasons.

Since Netflix canceled the series, its creators and production company Tornante have been looking for another home. Lisa Hanawalt created the series. Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong are the lead voices and executive producers.

"I've been a fan of Adult Swim shows since my teens," Hanawalt said in the press release. "I'm thrilled to bring my beloved fowl to the party."

Tuca (Haddish) and Bertie (Wong) are two bird women who are neighbors and friends. The animated series has fun with animal puns and inappropriate behavior, usually on Tuca's part.

Like Bojack Horseman, which Tornante also produces and which Tuca & Bertie executive producer Raphael Bob-Waksberg created, Tuca & Bertie also delves into poignant themes. In the case of this show, Bertie deals with the trauma from a sexual assault.

Steven Yuen, Nichole Byer, Reggie Watts, Richard E. Grant, David Wain and Awkwafina also did voices for Tuca & Bertie.

Adult Swim also changed their header image on Twitter to a graphic announcing Tuca & Bertie returning in 2021. Adult Swim is home to the animated series Rick & Morty, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies, Lazor Wulf and Final Space.
