Canceled: ABC kills 'Last Resort' and '666 Park Avenue'

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has cut loose two of their big new fall dramas, "Last Resort" and "666 Park Avenue."

Both were good shows ("Last Resort" being the better of the two) but had trouble finding audiences.

"Last Resort," about members of a U.S. nuclear submarine crew in a standoff against their own military, starred Andre Braugher and Scott Speedman. "666 Park Avenue," about a haunted apartment building in Manhattan, starred Terry O'Quinn, Vanessa Williams and Dave Annable.

Both shows had 13-episode orders and that's all they'll get. ABC will air all 13 episodes in their original order and in their original timeslots, so there's that.

New Fall Season: '666 Park Avenue' is a creepy destination

666 Park Avenue
Sundays at 10 on ABC

Finding a great apartment in New York City is hell. At least that's the quite literal message of this macabre new ABC drama, "666 Park Avenue."

The premise of the show, debuting Sunday at 10, is that the tenants of an exclusive Upper East Side apartment building sell their souls to the devil in exchange for the fulfillment of various dreams or desires.

This doesn't bode well for the unsuspecting midwestern couple, played by Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor, who score gigs as co-managers of the building in exchange for a beautiful free apartment and a bit of hob-nobbing with the mysterious married couple who own the place.
