AMC has scrapped two highly-anticipated series after they had already begun filming:
Two of AMC's television projects have been cancelled before they can even premiere. On Thursday, a report from Variety revealed that the network is no longer moving forward with the second season of 61st Street, or the first season of Invitation to a Bonfire. 61st Street had already filmed the entirety of its second season, while four of the six episodes of Invitation to a Bonfire had been shot before this decision was made.
What is Invitation to a Bonfire about?Invitation to a Bonfire is a six-episode psychological thriller set in the 1930s at an all-girls boarding school in New Jersey, and stars Tatiana Maslany , Freya Mavor , Pilou Asbæk and Ngozi Anyanwu . It is an adaptation of Adrienne Celt's novel of the same name.
What is 61st Street about?Originally billed as a two-season even series when it was picked up by AMC in 2019, 61st Street follows Moses Johnson, a promising, black high school athlete who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system. Taken by the police as a supposed gang member, Johnson finds himself and his lawyer Franklin Roberts in the eye of the storm as police and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong.
