In an effort to refocus on its scripted content, AMC has cancelled nearly all of its unscripted fare including Small Town Security, Freak Show and the recently renewed Game Of Arms.
The only current unscripted shows that remain are Walking Dead companion series Talking Dead and Comic Book Men.
An AMC spokesman said in a statement:
Scripted originals are at the core of the AMC brand. Iconic shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead have driven AMC’s evolution into a must-have television network. We are proud of our efforts in unscripted programming and the unique worlds we have been able to introduce, but in an environment of exploding content options for viewers, we have decided to make scripted programming our priority.”
Per THR, producers of the abandoned shows will now have the option to seek other homes for the projects, with AMC’s full blessing.
