Not One But Three Shows Get Cancelled After Only One Season

Channel NBC has decided to ax not one but three shows from their line-up which include comedy The Abby, and dramas The Village and The Enemy Within. “The next season’s schedule is fluid, we want to give those shows a chance to fulfill their run and we’ll take another look at them then,” NBC Co-Chairmen George Cheeks said on NBC’s May 12 upfronts call. “Remember we program 52 weeks a year so there are a lot of slots.”

Overall, the decision to ax these series is certainly not surprising as neither of the above-mentioned series was a critical or commercial success. These series were also available on Netflix. After this cancellation, this lot of shows join their counterpart, AP Bio, which was canceled only a few days ago.

Shot outdoors in front of a live studio audience, a first for a multi-cam comedy, Abby’s centers around an unlicensed, makeshift establishment in Abby’s (Natalie Morales) backyard, the perfect gathering place for locals to find camaraderie and sanctuary.

The Village, from Universal TV and 6107 Productions, was a sprawling ensemble drama series done in the mold of NBC hit This Is Us. It revolved around the residents of an apartment building in Brooklyn where those who reside there have built a bonded family of friends and neighbors.

From Ken Woodruff, The Enemy Within was described as a fast-paced thriller set in the world of counterintelligence. It centers on Erica Shepherd (Carpenter), a brilliant former CIA operative, now known as the most notorious traitor in American history and serving life in a Supermax prison. Cast also included Raza Jaffrey and Kelli Garner. Woodruff executive produced with Mark Pellington and Vernon Sanders.
