American Crime Cancelled After Three Seasons

John Ridley’s anthology series American Crime has been canceled after three seasons. The series was created by executive producer John Ridley and starring Regina King, Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Lili Taylor and Richard Cabral. Each season of the series explored different issues such as race, class, and gender, and those who are affected most by them in American society. Michael J. McDonald also served as executive producer. The series was produced by ABC Studios.While the critics praised the show and was an awards season player, the ratings were just not there for the show. The season finale of the show drew just a 0.4 in the adults 18-49 demographic, which may have signaled the end of the shows run.
