A behind-the-scenes uprising at has prompted a mass exodus in the CBS drama's writers' room.

According to The New York Times, five of All Rise 's original seven writers - including the show's three highest-ranking writers of color - will not be returning for Season 2 after clashing with showrunner Greg Spottiswood (who is white) over the series' depiction of race and gender.

One of those five scribes, Sleepy Hollow vet Shernold Edwards, exited the show in November after realizing "we had to do so much behind the scenes to keep these scripts from being racist and offensive."

Among the examples Edwards cites is a Season 1 episode - written by Greg Nelson, who is white - which featured a gang of Latin American teenagers in Los Angeles preying on citizens with machetes. A Latin American scribe on staff objected to the storyline on the grounds that it rang false, and co-star Lindsay Mendez refused to appear in the episode. In the end, Spottiswood agreed to excise the machete subplot after he learned of Mendez's concerns.

Former Revenge showrunner, Sunil Nayar, similarly tendered his resignation as co-showrunner after his efforts to have All Rise accurately reflect the experiences of Black people and other people of color fell on deaf ears, per the Times.

"It became clear to me, when I left the show, that I was only there because I'm the brown guy," Nayar told the paper. "Greg hired me to be his brown guy." ( David Makes Man EP Dee Harris-Lawrence replaced Nayar as co-showrunner last December.)

Warner Bros. the studio behind All Rise, conducted a workplace review last year and ultimately decided to keep Spottiswood in place as showrunner, although they paired him with a corporate coach, a Black woman.

"As soon as we became aware of concerns in the All Rise writers' room, we took steps to conduct a review of the work environment," a Warner Bros. rep said in a statement to TVLine. "The findings did not reveal conduct that would warrant removing series creator, Greg Spottiswood, from the Executive Producer role. We identified areas for improvement, and implemented procedures and protocols in response to the findings, which are resulting in the steps necessary to move forward with the series' leadership in place.

"As with all of our series, we have open communication with our cast, staff and crew to ensure a safe and respectful work environment for our entire workforce," the statement continued. "In late 2019, despite significant efforts made by the Studio to retain Mr. Nayar, he asked to be released from his duties as executive producer/co-showrunner, a decision we ultimately supported. With respect to the writing staff departures, we greatly valued everyone on the team, including Ms. Edwards, and our ultimate goal was to retain them. We are extremely proud of the show and the contributions of the entire writers' room."

In his own statement, Spottiswood said, "I acknowledge that I can have a rhetorical, professorial tone in the room, and that can be perceived by some as condescending, and that I can be defensive in creative conversations and debates. I remain strongly committed to improving my communication style and skills, and to being a more inclusive leader - ensuring that writers and artists are not just heard, but feel listened to, respected, safe and valued."

Finding the right customers for your business is crucial to its success. When you concentrate on the people who are most in need of or interested in your product or service, there is mutual benefit: You allocate your resources to the right efforts, and your customers spend their money on what they actually need. It is important to identify your target audience, so that you can maximize the effectiveness of your marketing. This post will go over the definition of a target audience, and provide some guidelines for identifying and understanding yours.

What is a Target Audience?

A target audience is a specific group of consumers that will be the most receptive to your products, services, and promotions. The specificity of the group is based on factors like age, location, income, and more. For example, if you are a physical therapist, your target audience might be athletes who are recovering from injury; senior citizens looking to maintain mobility; or middle-aged men and women with back pain.

Niche Market vs Target Audience

Niches are smaller and more specific groups within a target audience. While every business should have a target audience, not every business needs to have a niche market. Some businesses find their niche market by actively seeking one out; others stumble upon it naturally. Some niche markets are so lucrative that they become a business's target audience. Others simply continue to be the group in which a business specializes while at the same time serving their larger target audience.

Why is a Target Audience Important

It is important to have a target audience because the language, channels, and information you use to communicate with and appeal to one demographic may not be as effective with another. Also, you are better off thoroughly meeting all of the needs of one specific group than meeting only some of the needs of a lot of different groups. Having a target audience gives you direction in your marketing, facilitates more consistency in your messaging, and allows you to deepen your connection with your customers.

How to Define Your Target Audience

Defining your target audience allows you to efficiently market to the people you know you can impact. Here are three steps to take that will help you define your target audience.

Identify Problems and Needs

The first step in defining your target audience is to put yourself in your customers' shoes. Identify what problems and needs they have for which your business is the solution. Think specific needs. Do they need fast service or 24 hour customer support? Do they have kids and need special accommodations? What daily activities do they perform that you can make easier for them?

Profile Your Current Customers

To define your target audience, take a look at your current customers. What do they have in common? Repeat and loyal customers can give you great insight into the types of people you should target. Look at broad and narrow similarities. If your customer base is really diverse, you might need to give your business some more time for patterns to develop. Or, you can segment your customer base into a few different types of customers and do some experimentation to see if you can gather any information.

Observe Your Competition

Another way to define your target audience is to observe your competitors. Scroll through their business website, social media feeds, and identify their best selling products or services. Get a feel for who they are targeting, and see if that demographic fits your business. If it does, you may be able to learn a thing or two about your target audience. If it doesn't, you can learn how to further distinguish your business from theirs.

Understanding your Target Audience

Identifying your target audience is not the same as understanding it. After all, being an expert in your field doesn't exactly equate to being an expert on your target audience. It is important to learn as much as possible about your target audience-their lifestyle, habits, preferences, needs, dislikes, favorites, and more-and to constantly be updating that information so that you can provide superior service. Here are two ways to better understand your target audience.

Immerse Yourself

The best way to understand your target audience is to immerse yourself in it. Host and attend events where you can converse and interact with them. Use social media to engage with your customers and followers, familiarize with their jargon, and understand what's important to them. You can learn a lot about your target audience members not just in how they interact with your business, but also in how they interact with each other and with other businesses.

Look at the Data

Consumers don't always know what they like. In fact, we may think we have one preference, only to find that our actions are in line with a different preference. This is why you should use Google Analytics or other analytics platforms for your website and marketing activities. Data will identify behavior patterns of your customers and business website visitors. You can see which pages they frequent or which channels they're coming in. This provides you with a solid understanding of your target audience, that you can preferences, that you can leverage for marketing success.

Identifying your target audience is an essential part of marketing your business. With this knowledge you can connect with the right people, and enhance the quality of those engagements. Start defining and understanding your target audience so that you can make the most of your precious time-and theirs.

The seventh season of "Ray Donovan" ended with a cliffhanger finale on January 19. By the first week of April, Showtime had announced that the show was canceled with no eighth season in production.

The seventh season finale will now serve as the series finale.

"Perfect Harmony" premiered in September 2019, and its first season came to an end in early 2020. But by June of this year, NBC had decided to axe the musical-comedy series, making the season one finale the whole series finale.

In January 2019, History announced its drama series would come to an end with a sixth and final season. The last episode aired on February 5, 2020.

In November 2019, Netflix surprised fans by announcing it was making a sequel series called "Vikings: Valhalla." The show will be made by creator Michael Hirst and "continues the storytelling of his beloved epic 'Vikings' saga."

In November 2019, ABC announced the cancellation of "Fresh Off the Boat," saying the already-filmed sixth season would be its last.

Earlier in 2019, the show's star Constance Wu issued an apology after she tweeted about her disappointment that the show had been renewed for a sixth season (because it prevented her from working on a different project).

The final episodes will premiere in February 2020.

"I thought we had a chance of maybe going another season - every season, I thought for some reason the show would end - but I think the network just thought it was a good time [to wrap things up]," showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told TVLine.

The 10th and final season came to a close on April 3, 2020.

CBS canceled "God Friended Me" just 12 days before the second season finale aired.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS told the show's producers about the cancellation far enough in advance that they could "craft an ending for the series."

Adding to the list of original shows canceled by Netflix, "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj" was axed after its sixth season had aired on the streaming service in June 2020. Minhaj tweeted the news on August 18, saying: "What a run. ['Patriot Act'] has come to an end."

"I got to work with the best writers, producers, researchers, and animators in the game," Minhaj continued. "My two babies were born and grew up with the show. TY to [Netflix]
and everyone who watched. Now it's time to return these screens to Best Buy."
