666 Park Avenue Cancelled
Supernatural thriller show scares – or possibly bores – off audience
US TV network ABC has cancelled new supernatural chiller show 666 Park Avenue , starring Lost’s Terry O’Quinn.
Despite a recent order for two more scripts – which usually to a network commissioning extra episode – 666 Park Avenue will now not survive beyond its initial 13 episodes. Its most recent episode on ABC was watched by a mere four million viewers.
The show was a kind of American Horror Story lite with O’Quinn as the supernatural owner of a posh but spooky apartment block, who would offer tenants deals which saw them attain their greatest wishes… but at a terrible cost.
It’s not a huge loss, to be honest. ITV2 has the rights to show the series in the UK, though there’s no news on when it might air. Wonder if they get any money off now?
