Kings Moved to NBC Summer Schedule

In a development that will probably not shock anyone, NBC is moving struggling drama Kings off the schedule until June. The Hollywood Reporter said the low-rated retelling of the biblical story of King David will return June 13 and run through July 25.

A move to Saturday nights did nothing for the show’s ratings, so after four Saturday airings it’s taking a lengthy break. At this point, you probably do not need me to tell you things don’t look good for this show. But for the record, things don’t look good for this show. NBC’s new Saturday night regular lineup will be reruns of Southland, Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
