A few weeks ago, ABC cancelled its new crime drama Wicked City after only three episodes. It was announced that the five unaired episodes of the series would be available to stream sometime in the future.
Now, one of the show’s executive producers, Laurie Zaks, has revealed they are editing the unaired episodes for foreign platforms. And apparently, those episodes are currently airing in New Zealand.
Wicked City‘s cancellation wasn’t entirely surprising. The series, which starred Ed Westwick as a Sunset Strip serial killer, received very low ratings upon its October 27th premiere.
While the remaining episodes will be available at some point, there has been no update as to when or where they will be streamed.
Recently, Zaks tweeted, “Don’t know yet when or what platform it will air in US will keep fans posted.”
What do you think? Did you watch Wicked City? Why do you think it was cancelled? Would you watch the remaining episodes when they become available?

Should’ve finished the season then waited to see how the views were. Honestly, the promotion for this show could’ve been better. I didn’t even know it existed until I saw it on Hulu.
I’m upset. I just saw its cancelled I thought maybe they were holding out to air a new episode because of the holidays. We enjoy it and we’re really into it. They need to finish out the season then decide what to do. It’s not fair to the fans.
What the…cancelling after 3 episodes is like a restaurant closing the week after a grand opening. Give a series a chance. No wonder cable is eating network programs ratings! Good acting and appeared to be an interesting storyline.
First thing on ABC that I had any interest in watching and they cancel it. What genius decided to debut a new show during the World Series and then pull the series because of low ratings.
I loved it. I DVR’d it to watch once the kids were in bed but I was really into the story. I hate when stations cancel shows mid season.
What the heck. This show was so freaking good. How you just going to cancel like that. Omg. That show was about to be dangerous with betty and Kent.
Yes, I would watch Wicked City for years! I loved that show so much!
ABC sucks! They not supposed make the story line hanging like this!! I’m pissed!! Now I wondering about the plot and what’ll be the ending?!!

It was the best series since the wire. So dissapointed. I hope another network will pick it up. I bought it on ITunes and they just returned my money.
Very pissed this show was canceled….typical for ABC to finally have a good show then cancel it with no notice
I think it was a very intriguing show. One of a kind really. I like that it was based in the 80’s even though I’m not fond of the style then! It’s a big disappointment that it’s been cancelled.
Sell wicked city to netflix! The show was awesome!
