It's probably just being delayed 7 months from its usual June start, and the reported reason is they want to pair it with their new drama, You, which just started filming this week.

When UnREAL was renewed for a second season midway through its first season, the press wrote about it as if Lifetime was giving the show an early renewal. The truth was that Lifetime renewed the show on what was literally the last day the contracts with the actors and producers were still good.
From Deadline's article about this: "Martin is not involved in the projects as he is under an exclusive deal at HBO."
Assuming it's still stuff from the same hack, the only ABC show they have left to release is Steve Harvey's Funderdome.
The most recent one was the 24th highest grossing movie of 2015, making $312 million on an estimated $61 million budget.
"Amazon did just invest in Amy Sherman-Palladino’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, giving it a two-season order, but it also went through the pilot season."
"Truth & Iliza will air weeknights at 10 p.m. on Freeform, starting on May 2."
Freeform currently has 8 scripted shows, and 7 of them started with 10 episode orders, so this is standard for the channel. If the ratings are good* it will probably get more along the lines of 20-22 episodes a year (with half airing in the winter, the other half in the summer, perhaps).
Two short seasons will lead to two more years of Emmy nominations, instead of just one. At least six episodes are needed a season to count as a series.
"The last crop yielded series orders for The Tick and I Love Dick (as well as, uh, Jean-Claude Van Johnson), which means your vote does count"
In 2011, she starred as one of the leads in VH1's series Single Ladies. She did not return for season 2, and Dash tried to make it seem as though she was leaving the show because she didn't want to be in Atlanta away from her kids.
Her past history suggests she has a major source at Sony, and she regurgitates whatever spin they send her way.
My favorite part of Deadline's Nellie Andreeva's months-long campaign for the show to get picked up was when she wondered if Cruel Intentions: the Musical, which had a 4-show engagement in November at an L.A. dinner theater with less than 200 seats, would "give the TV adaptation a boost."

The showrunner of this series is Jon Harmon Feldman. He wasn't involved with making the pilot. He was the showrunner of Blood & Oil; the showrunner of Dirty Sexy Money's second season (he wasn't involved with the first season); the co-creator of No Ordinary Family who isn't Greg Berlanti; and the creator of Tru…
Since I'm unfamiliar with the video game, the title mostly makes me think of the Lifetime series: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Shailene Woodley has failed to make "clay eating" a thing; she's failed to get people to not flush the toilet every time they go; and she's failed to get people to watch the Divergent movies. And now she's gonna fail in her attempt to keep Bernie Sanders running for president.
Whenever my grandmother would see a black cat, she would literally go around the block the other way or whatever she had to do to keep it from crossing her path.
She won an Emmy for that.
