NBC cancels ‘Providence’
Wedding episode was family drama’s finale
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — The fate of “Providence” no longer hangs in the balance — the NBC series is officially canceled.
The two-hour wedding episode that aired last month was the series’ swan song, NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker said Friday.
“I want to thank the entire cast of that show, and in particular (star) Melina Kanakaredes, for four great years,” Zucker said.
The executive had wavered about “Providence,” a family drama in which Kanakaredes played a physician. He decided in October to cancel the series, which had slipped among younger viewers, but said a month later he was reconsidering the move.
“I’m not afraid to admit I may have made a mistake, and we’ll see,” Zucker said then.
But keeping the series wasn’t the right move, he said Friday. The time slot it held could be used to launch a fresh drama with growth potential.
“Given that we’re not going to have many places to put on new dramas, it made sense to end ‘Providence’ now,” Zucker said. “But I tell you that we looked at it very closely.”
