Sam Esmail's 'Metropolis' series has been cancelled.
As writers remain resolute in pressing home their demands with the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike with no perceivable end in sight, more big-budget productions continue to take the hit. The latest to join the growing list of affected projects is Sam Esmail's ambitious TV series, Metropolis.
The TV series was first announced to be in development in 2016 with the Mr. Robot creator attached as executive producer as part of his deal with Universal Content Productions. UCP shouldered the financial responsibilities with support from Anonymous Content, but amid several unfavorable factors, it has become implausible to move ahead with production.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Pre-production on the series had been caught in a state of uncertainty for the past several weeks. The incomplete production drafts of the scripts, coupled with the commencement of the writers' strike had caused delays in finalizing budgets and crucial aspects of pre-production.
