The Abandons
Netflix has cancelled a pair of series including “Sons of Anarchy” creator Kurt Sutter’s recent western series “The Abandons” and the comedy series “The Vince Staples Show” which was axed after two seasons.
“The Abandons” was set in 1850s Oregon and starred Lena Headey, Gillian Anderson, Nick Robinson, Lucas Till and Ryan Hurst. It mostly made headlines for Sutter exiting the project over creative differences after Netflix saw rough cuts of the first episodes. [Source: THR]
