666 Park Avenue and Last Resort will give fans closure

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue will not leave viewers hanging.

Despite ABC pulling the plug on the freshman dramas last week, the brains behind both shows tell TVLine that they were given enough time to turn their respective swan songs into series finales.

“We have time to tweak,” confirms Last Resort creator Shawn Ryan, adding that Episode 13 will indeed function as a full-fledged series finale.

666 exec producers David Wilcox and Matt Miller, meanwhile, tease that their Sunday spookfest “is building to a powerful and surprising series finale, where all your questions will be answered. We hope fans of the show continue watching all the way to the end of Jane and Henry’s incredible journey to the dark side.”

Oh thank God 666 Park Avenue won't end on a cliffhanger!

Is that Scott Speedman?

I'm just glad that we'll get answers.

good!

I'm so happy for this. 666 was finally getting interesting...and confusing.

I'm sad about 666..I think it could have gone somewhere really interesting but thank goodness for closure!

I think it was reported that one of the sets of 666 was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy and since it was cost prohibitive to rebuild, ABC may pull the plug on the whole series. Looks like that was true.
montygail 21st-Nov-2012 11:15 pm (UTC)
You're right, it was. I think it was hanging onto a thread of hope for some sort of renewal and then that drove a nail in the coffin.

I wish another network could have picked up 666 Park avenue. I really liked that show. It's good they're going to give fans of the show closure.

i never even saw these shows, LOL!!!!!

NOOOOO I didn't know Last Resort was cancelled. =(

Personally, I'm really sad about the demise of Last Resort. It was such a promising premise that was simply too ambitious for that network and time slot. I enjoyed every single episode and I only wish it had aired on a different channel like HBO or Showtime. I really commend them for the numerous strong, nuanced female characters and can only wish more shows followed in a similar path.

I'm relieved we'll at least be given some semblance of closure. It would have been extremely frustrating for ABC to have simply pulled the show off the air or for the final episode to have ended on a cliffhanger.

i like your review i'm gonna check it out. i loved pretty much every episode of the shield and it's the same creator.
smelltheflowers 22nd-Nov-2012 04:28 am (UTC)

Well, all I can obviously speak to is my own personal enjoyment of the show, but I truly hope you like it :)

I feel as though it would have been so much more successful as a mini-series, particularly on a network like HBO. It's a shame it wasn't really given a chance and was hindered from the outset by the inevitable restraints imposed on it by its time slot, network, etc.

i'm sad about 666 park avenue. at least they're giving us closure for the series.
showmesara 21st-Nov-2012 08:27 pm (UTC)
Glad I didn't pick up 666. Last Resort lost me after episode 5 or something, so I'm only sad that I won't have Scott Speedman on my some more

I only watched a few episodes of 666 so I didn't get really invested in it, but I do like that they're going to give closure. I might watch the remainder of the series just to see what happens. I just hate that a lot of shows that get cancelled in the first season end with ridiculous cliffhangers (FlashForward, I'm looking at you).
williammiller 21st-Nov-2012 09:33 pm (UTC)
It started out pretty slow but these last couple of episodes have been really good.
josiefier 21st-Nov-2012 08:32 pm (UTC)
Well that's some relief.
darkwarrior 21st-Nov-2012 08:36 pm (UTC)
It's a bit of a shame, 666 wasn't great but it was interesting. Its one thing I hate about American tv, they very rarely give a show a time to grow. Unless its an amazing blockbuster right off the bat or the personal project of someone up high, it just gets shuffled off.
ooh_mrdarcy 21st-Nov-2012 08:50 pm (UTC)
Fucking ABC. 666 was finally becoming really interesting, too. It seems that when a show is too good, or about to get awesome, ABC will always cancel it (e.g. Pushing Daisies). At least we'll get closure.

yup and i'm still mourning pushing daisies tbh
stellar_ball 21st-Nov-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
Freaking ABC. First you take away my The Unusuals, and now 666.
williammiller 22nd-Nov-2012 07:13 am (UTC)
Don't even get me started on The Unusuals.
manu19 21st-Nov-2012 08:58 pm (UTC)
kinda sad for the 666 cast but i'm glad we are getting some what an answer + it always seemed more like a miniseries to me anyway tbh
sad_1985 21st-Nov-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
I'm glad. I'm still pissed that Ringer had no ending :(
electricknight 22nd-Nov-2012 04:31 am (UTC)
I'm still holding out they'll do something with it.
blanketinapark 21st-Nov-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
I hope Vanessa Williams finds another show quickly! that woman is too good to be off tv for too long. Should have brought her into Desperate Housewives sooner. She was fantastic in that.
I'm also upset Autumn Reeser is gone from my tv again. Fucking ABC for cancelling No Ordinary Family :(
williammiller 22nd-Nov-2012 07:13 am (UTC)
She needs to find a part besides the bitchy woman tbh. She's basically played the same role in the past three shows she's been in.
bellatrixella 21st-Nov-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
thats nice.... im still upset about how point pleasant just left us hanging...
secura 21st-Nov-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
the writing in last resort was absolutely atrocious, dear lord.
masquerade_07 21st-Nov-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
I'm gonna miss my bb Speedy. </3
williammiller 21st-Nov-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
I'm sad 666 was canceled. It should have been The Neighbors instead.
westamp 21st-Nov-2012 09:38 pm (UTC)
To be honest, I'm not a fan of the gal in 666 (Rachel somebody). She was on that pathetic Charlie's Angels. Yep, she's a show killer.

If she stayed on Grey's it would be canceled as well.
musicpsych 21st-Nov-2012 10:09 pm (UTC)
I'm glad they're giving the shows closure!

I won't be watching whatever ABC replaces them with. Too many times, ABC, too many times...
ladyserenity84 21st-Nov-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
I really enjoyed both of these shows. :( Sad to see them go, but glad that they're getting closure.
deadtree 22nd-Nov-2012 12:18 am (UTC)
neither one is a surprise. Genre shows on network tv are such a self-defeating cycle. People are afraid to watch because they don't want to be involved with characters or stories that are going to get cancelled, so the ratings suck and the shows get cancelled :\ I'm glad these are at least getting closure though. If a show is really leaning toward cancellation the network should have them go ahead and create an ending for it.

Prayer circle for TOQ to appear on Person of Interest now./
awwwpeas 22nd-Nov-2012 02:56 am (UTC)
maybe it's best for 666 to be short and sweet. dragging out supernatural stuff with no answers can sometimes lose my interest.
poisoncity 22nd-Nov-2012 03:43 am (UTC)
:[ Aw, Shawn Ryan. All your stuff keeps getting canceled!
prophecypro 22nd-Nov-2012 05:01 am (UTC)
Last Resort was a show I thought was gonna be really good but it kinda dissappointed me.
chantonii 22nd-Nov-2012 10:57 am (UTC)
LOL poor Rachael Taylor.
lloydsgurl 23rd-Nov-2012 04:53 am (UTC)
last resort should have been a summer mini-series, like harper's island or something.
