USA Network’s Cancels ‘Complications’

Date:

The freshmen medical drama, Complications, from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix has been canceled by USA, The Project Casting has confirmed.

Starring Jason O’Mara, the Atlanta filmed production, centers around a doctor who gets involved in a gang war after the death of his daughter. The series was one of o two new summer offerings for USA Network. The other, the hit series Mr. Robot, was renewed for a second season hours before the show ever premiered.

The show’s creator believed the show as going to be renewed for a second season. “The world has changed so much, but one thing we’ve demonstrated is we have an audience that comes back every week,” he said. “It’s just so hard to get attention, and what I would want to do is take the audience base that we have now and really reach out and aggressively go after more viewers who maybe didn’t see season one.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, USA Network is headed towards a different direction.

Mr. Robot is part of a new creative direction for the network, once known for less serialized, blue sky programming like Burn Notice and Royal Pains. Despite its darker themes and heavily serialized storyline,Complications was not picked up for a second season by USA because of what sources call a strong drama pipeline that includes upcoming new series Colony and Queen of the South. 

Complications joins USA Network’s half hour comedy series Sirens, which got the ax earlier this year after two seasons.
