WICKED CITY Officially Cancelled, First Cancellation of '15-'16 Season

It's the end of the road for anthology drama, WICKED CITY.

ABC has just announced the cancellation of their first foray into the increasingly popular drama anthology genre. Led by GOSSIP GIRL's Ed Westwick and Erika Christensen (PARENTHOOD), the show is getting the ax just three episodes into its debut season. The network will immediately cease production on WICKED CITY, which has filmed seven episodes already.

This marks the first cancellation of a regular network show this season. Speculators say MINORITY REPORT (Fox), BLOOD & OIL (ABC), and THE PLAYER (NBC) are looking like the next to go, but the networks have yet to weigh in.

BroadwayWorld's Matt Tamanini recently interviewed Westwick and Christensen about WICKED CITY, so see what they had to say here!

WICKED CITY follows a unique case set in a noteworthy era of L.A. history, starting with a murder case from 1982 centered on the rock 'n' roll, cocaine-infused revelry of the Sunset Strip. Alliances are formed to solve a serial murder case.

The show stars Ed Westwick as Kent Grainger, Erika Christensen as Betty Beaumontaine, Jeremy Sisto as Jack Roth, Taissa Farmiga as Karen McClaren, Gabriel Luna as Paco Contreras, Karolina Wydra as Dianne Kubek, Evan Ross as Diver Hawkes, Anne Winters as Vicki Roth and Jaime Ray Newman as Allison Roth.
