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?
Dang! I was so enjoying this show. Disappointed that is replacement is Shark Tank reruns!
I loved the series. why ? why?why? I definitely want to see the remaining episodes. maybe you should continue the series on Netflix as an exclusive series. forget about ABC
I can’t believe it. I loved the series.
I am sooo upset!!!! This is why I hesitate to start a new series! Every time I fall in love with a show it gets cancelled!! What a waste!
I was really enjoyed watching this show and I’m extremely disappointed that it will not be continuing. ABC should have gave it more of a chance and it’s unfortunate we’ll only get to see 8 episodes. This is why I never begin a series on a channel like this, they always cut the good ones short. I’m sure ABC needs more time for all there terrible reality shows though so I understand.
Cant beleive ABC would do this! Show was very entertaining and interesting!!! Why why
I have too many commitments during prime time so watch all my favorites on demand at a later time. One of those programs was Wicked City. Is no regard given to people like me in program ratings context?
Well this figures. The first network show I’ve watched and really enjoyed in years and they cancel it after 3 episodes. They cancel a show that’s well written with good actors and keep the rest of the high octane crap they produce on the air. Well, back to Netflix and premium channel series I go.
Wicked City would be much better on a premium channel without all the network censorship anyway. Who knows, maybe another channel (HBO, Showtime, etc.) will pick it up and make it the way it should have been made in the first place? Fingers crossed.
I Agree !!
Bring Back this Show It Is Awesome…….I looked for it tuesday And I am saddened its cancelled…
I rarely watch network tv. But I watched wicked city and really like it. It was very different. Well written, acted. Hate that it was cancelled. This show should have been given a little more time. I think it would have taken off. Most Network TV is so boring. The reality junk leaves me cold. . .
Wow I am very disappointed. I really enjoyed wicked city.
We really liked this show. I’m beginning not to like ABC as they are always cancelling their show tv programs shortly after they start. Revenge was cancelled without a ending. At least do endings when you cancel a program.
Very disappointed, I loved this show. Can you move it to a new time or see if another network can pick it up? All the reviews are positive and that should speak volumes that it has potential so try again a new time slot or see if a new network would pick it up but if not can you please release for us fans to stream it asap!!
This makes me so angery! I was really into this one! to my surprise when I googled what happened ini this week’s episode I found out it was canceled! How could u do this to me abc? U fail.
So fed up with the big executives deciding what to cancel , cancel all the reality shows give us back a show worth watching. I enjoyed this show glad we will be able to see the final episodes but would like It back
