The fight to save One Day at a Time has hit some snags, but it’s not over quite yet. While the canceled Netflix sitcom remains a longshot to survive, producer Sony Pictures Television has had conversations with multiple outlets about ways to keep the series alive — and has now fielded an official pickup offer from at least one platform. Two people familiar with the matter tell Vulture streaming network CBS All Access, whose interest in acquiring One Day was reported a few weeks back, has now submitted an official bid to procure at least one more season of the series from Sony. All Access made its proposal despite being aware Netflix’s deal with Sony allows it to veto any move to a streaming network for at least two years after cancelation.

But just because Netflix has the right to kill any such move doesn’t mean it must do so. With that it mind, Vulture hears One Day executive producer and living TV legend Norman Lear personally reached out to Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos to ask him to help keep the show alive, presumably by waiving the company’s veto rights, two sources tell Vulture. As of Tuesday, however, it appears Netflix is unwilling to budge and allow One Day to shift to the much, much smaller CBS All Access. (Reps for Sony, CBS All Access and Netflix declined comment.) Nonetheless, sources close to the situation say Sony and CBS All Access are still trying to figure out a way forward, though again, any deal would require Netflix’s blessing. (And as of Tuesday, Netflix has not offered a definitive “no,” though there’s zero indication it’s inclined to say “yes,” either.)

If Netflix does refuse to give up its right to kill a deal from a rival streamer, however, there may still be some options left for Sony and the show’s creative team. Netflix’s contract with Sony only lets it veto potential streaming buyers; cable and broadcast platforms could still do a deal without Netflix’s approval. To that end, Vulture hears the CBS-owned cable network Pop TV has also made inquiries about the possibility of picking up a fourth season of One Day, though any such bid would be a longshot. Because of its smaller footprint, Pop likely couldn’t afford to pick up the show from Sony unless it had another partner, either from another country (Schitt’s Creek is produced with a Canadian network) or even another cable or broadcast outlet in the U.S. Pop’s early discussions with Sony were put on hold once CBS All Access got into the game, but if that deal completely collapses, there’s at least a chance Sony could try to figure something out with Pop and another player. Meanwhile, another network with a CBS association — the CW, which is co-owned by CBS Corp. and WarnerMedia’s Warner Bros. TV — is also understood to have put out feelers about One Day. Like Pop, it would also not be able to afford the show without some sort of partnership. What’s more, CW doesn’t currently air half-hour sitcoms, making it hard to see how the show would fit on the network’s schedule as-is.

So, where does this leave the future of One Day at a Time? As of right now, still very much in limbo. The CBS All Access proposal is the most serious indication of legitimate interest in keeping the series alive. But as expected, Sony’s contract with Netflix remains a significant stumbling block. What’s more, even if Netflix agreed to let the series jump to another video-on-demand service, Sony and All Access would still need to agree on the right financial terms. As for other, non-streaming players, those are more likely plays contractually — but perhaps far greater reaches financially. The most likely scenario would involve multiple linear networks, perhaps cable and broadcast, partnering to make the show financially feasible.
