After nearly two months since the start of the 2015-16 broadcast season, the first official cancellation has come in.
Following three low-rated episodes, ABC has opted to pull anthology drama Wicked City from its schedule, effective immediately, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Starting Nov. 17, repeats of Shark Tank will take over the drama's Tuesday at 10 p.m. slot. Production on Wicked City will conclude after episode eight, which is currently filming. It's unclear when (or if) the five unaired episodes will be broadcast.
They're using that slot for repeats of Shark Tank!? God they're stupid. Why not air a repeat of a new show to help build a fan base? They could easily use that slot to air repeats of Quantico or something.

Shark Tank repeats perform better than drama repeats and are easier to pick up in the middle rather than a drama with ongoing plots and threads. Its only for a few weeks. Fall/midseason finales are coming up and everything will be in repeats or holiday fare.
