TNT Cancels 'Mob City'

It was an interesting experiment, but the accelerated, limited series approach to TNT's Mob City ultimately didn't work out.

TNT has canceled Mob City, its low-rated noir drama from The Walking Dead TV series creator Frank Darabont. The six-episode limited series aired in December and just never found a proper foothold, struggling to find viewership at a time of the year in which not a whole lot of people were watching TV.

“Mob City was created as a three-week television event and we are incredibly proud of the six hours we presented of this remarkable drama,” a TNT spokesperson said. “Although the ratings of the limited series haven’t warranted more hours we are eager to work with Frank Darabont again and were delighted to bring the vibrant world of Mob City to life.”

Sounds like a rejection letter from a book publisher. Of course, given the expense of the series relative to its performance, this decision makes an unfortunate amount of practical sense.
