Facebook Watch cancels Sorry for Your Loss and Limetown as it focuses on unscripted series

Deadline

Elizabeth Olsen's critically acclaimed Sorry for Your Loss, which ran two seasons, and Jessica Biel's Limetown, which premiered last October, won't be back as Facebook Watch focuses on developing unscripted series. Deadline reports Sorry for Your Loss will be shopped around. "Facebook Watch still has several scripted series in the pipeline, which will be released as planned," says Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "Going forward, the company will be pairing down significantly their scripted development efforts. Word around town is that Facebook is leaving the scripted business. Sources close to the situation indicate that Facebook is not closing the door completely on original scripted programming if the right project came along but its focus is shifting to unscripted fare where it’s had more success and better traction with Facebook users."
