The way he writes this article makes it sound like the very worst of the rumors swirling around Star Trek: Discovery (which I pray are lofty exaggerations at worst). Needless to say, however, that show doesn't fit the bill at all, since it's already slated for streaming.

Inhumans would be my guess.
That's actually a good guess. I remember seeing it promoted nearly a year ago at the upfronts, and then nada.

Sounds amazing.
Yeah, I don't see it anywhere, not even on the A&E website, haha.
My gut is telling me Inhumans, and trying to sell it to Netflix. Then Netflix shuddered and said, "The Buck stops here."
Twin Peaks.
Indeed. It is supposed to be a television show, so it can't be the streaming Star Trek show.
Shonda would be powerful, but the show got expelled to the summer so not that influential.

Inhumans seems too easy to be the answer.
Considering how bad "The Catch" was, I'd say "Still Star-Crossed" seems most likely.
Dark horse answer? This.
It depends on how he treats reboots and revivals.

It says first season, and I think Inhumans is intended to be a mini-series, not a series. I could be splitting hairs though. Also, I don't think most think of Inhumans as a drama series. Also, I can't imagine they'd be pushing the theatrical release of the first two episodes if they thought it was that bad.

He does make a point of mentioning that it could be cable, which is sort of unusual since Ausiello mainly deals with broadcast network stuff (though it might just be a red herring).
I'm trying to think of what it could be if it is cable...I'm assuming it has to be a period piece or a sci-fi/fantasy show that would cost a lot already and then go way over budget...
Twin Peaks has "influential Powers That Be" and had budgetary problems early on, but it's the third season so it doesn't really fit (it's also one of the most hyped shows in years, so there's no way they'd consider dropping it when it's set to drive subscriptions like crazy.) EDIT: Also, what JeffZero said.
I'm also thinking it could maybe be "I'm Dying Up Here" because if Vinyl could cost $100 million, then so could that (and the trailer looked awful).
On the other hand, Showtime had no problems airing Dexter or Roadies, so I doubt they'd only just now start to care so much about quality that they'd consider dropping a high profile stinker just to avoid having one more grace their channel.
Maybe The Terror on AMC, Will on TNT, Snowfall on FX, Knightfall on History, or The Mist on Spike?
Perhaps it's Counterpart on Starz? Sci-fi thriller with JK Simmons and Morten Tyldum?
Honestly, cable doesn't seem likely to me. It's probably Still Star-Crossed or Inhumans.

I don't think Inhumans has filmed anything other than (maybe) the theatrical pilot, yet, has it?. Certainly not enough to qualify for "most episodes coming in way, way, way, way, way over budget."
Still Star-Crossed would be my bet.
I do wonder about The Mist. Even outside the quality, given the shift of the network from Spike to Paramount I would think they'd possibly be more inclined to try to ditch the old content as it attempts to forge a new identity.
That being said, Still Star-Crossed still sounds like the most likely suspect.

One of the comments suggests the Seth Macfarlane thing (Orville). And it could fit, especially as it's Seth's first live action series and sci-fi can get costly.
But I'm with you, leaning towards Still Star Crossed or Inhumans. Can't think of a cable show that fits the bill either.

Could be Midnight, Texas the trailer looks awful and I can't imagine CGI tigers are cheap

90% though Still Star Crossed, that show had to be insanely expensive with it filmed on locations all around Europe. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp can get away with $120m vacation budget movies, unknown young TV actors cannot.

Just been reading the synopsis on Still Star Crossed, sounds like an absolute car crash, a straight laced period drama sequel to Romeo and Juliet? It's the sort of thing you'd usually find straight to video in the bargain bin at the petrol station.
Given how Inhumans is still filming I doubt that it's that. Probably some network show being dumped in the dead of summer.

I was reading Star Crossed and I thought you guys were talking about that CW show for some weird reason.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Still Star Crossed is a pretty good guess. Never would've thought of that.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
These blind items could say that a musical comedy over on the ION network is in trouble and some of you would still say it's Inhumans.
Like, I'm with you, but it feels like we're plugging in an answer until we get it right.

It'll definitely be interesting seeing the reactions of people seeing Hamilton-style black actors being inserted into 14th century Italy as nobles.

I don't even really understand why the producers had to take that weird non immersive route - just put the setting in 13th century Moorish Europe in the courts of Islamic caliphates or earlier in the courts of Babylon or Egypt or Mali or the million other empires where a diverse cast would make sense and people could learn new things about ancient history that is rarely covered in TV/movies.
Fair point, I thought it was some comedy-drama thing. But then again, I have intentionally avoided the show.
And with this we learn that Shonda can't either. Not completely anyway.
Does inhumans have enough episodes in the can to be able to say 'nearly every episode' over budget? I would have thought they're maybe only two or three episodes in by this point.
It's not Inhumans. IMAX is covering a large potion of the budget, at least for the first couple episodes that premiere in theaters.

Inhumans and Star Trek are probably out because of timing (and ST not being network/cable).
The leading contenders that fit the criteria seem to be Still Star Crossed, Orville and Midnight, Texas. With SST being so long delayed that seems the odds on favourite.

Z: The Beginning Of Everything Renewed For Season 2 By Amazon
Interesting to see this living on whilst Good Girls Revolt got cancelled. The power of being produced internally at Amazon.

Half the people turn the tv off right after Big Bang, wow.
And then some turn the TV right back on when Mom is on. Lol. Joel McHale can't catch a break.

Hopefully the Sky Atlantic numbers are better, this show deserves more interest!
Damn, this ain't good. I can't say I'm floored about the show, but it has been alright these two episodes and I would like to see more from it.
I didn't even know this show was on. Did they like market this at all in the states?

The first link got me excited. The second link grossed me out and tainted the first link.
What I wouldn't give for The Expanse to have premiered on AMC.
...why? Do people want all these revivals? Maybe I just wasn't as enamored with that show as everyone else. Bailed on the final season.
Only time I think of this show is from Big Bang Theory when someone from Roseanne guest stars. I'm sort of surprised that John Goodman hasn't been on there at least once.
Maybe he isn't dead. Maybe that was just another twist in her story
According to the article, Roseanne wrote a blog post a few years ago saying the ideas she had for a new season, one of them was him having faked his death
