Last week, ABC cancelled Wicked City after three episodes had aired and cut the season episode order down to just eight installments. Though the drama had very poor ratings, the cast and crew are aware that the Tuesday night series did have some devoted fans.
While the cancellation is surely a disappointment to fans of the series, there is some good news. The cast and crew were in the middle of filming the eighth episode and were able to complete their work just yesterday. According to two of the executive producers, Laurie Zaks and Jon Cassar, ABC will be making the remaining five installments available for streaming some time in the future.
Zaks has also indicated that they were able to wrap up the show’s story in the eighth episode “with a great ending.” Here are some of their tweets:
The bad news is #WickedCity is cancelled. The good news is ABC is letting us complete 8 episodes so you can watch it all streaming

We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more. You can find other cancelled shows here.
What do you think? Do you plan to watch the remaining episodes of Wicked City online? Do you think you’ll be satisfied with the ending?
Let me know when I can see remaining series. I this was one show I really enjoyed. . What they put In that time slot sucks.
i wish Netflix would take the series
I so liked the first three episodes andwas shocked when it was cancelled i will Definitely watch the last episodes!
I was hooked after the first episode and had my dvr programmed for it. I can’t believe it would be canceled so soon and left up in the air like this.
Just started watching. It is very suspenseful and I binged watched the 7 episodes on demand. Look forward to number 8!!
I looked forward to watching wicked city , and was telling everyone to check it out just after the first episode….. Thanks a lot ABC for canceling my favorite new show!!
Can’t believe they cancelled Wicked City!! Had my DVR set up up to record series and got busy with holidays and just realized that there were no new episodes. Way to go ÀBC. Thanks again for cancelling another great show. You did this to a bunch of us about 3 yrs back with a great show called Missing with Ashley Judd. This show was amazing and just like that was also cancelled.. Just can’t figure out what heck happened?!
I really liked Wicked City & want to see the remaining Episodes!
Was wonder why we had not seen it. The actors are great. Hope FX will pick up. The American Horror Story is pretty violent and it stays on as others. Want to at lest see the ending stories.
Please don’t cancel! I am a faithful DVR fan because I am unable to watch live.
can’t wait to watch the final eight episodes love the characters and loved the show
Dam. Networks aren’t patient with shows anymore. It’s all about the quick fix. Cheers was at the bottom its first season…if they had the same knee jerk impatience, that show would have never became the powerhouse.
Please bring it back… soooooooooooooo good! !!! Was in my top 5…
Me too I loved the Cast
