NBC Shuts Down Production on SEAN SAVES THE WORLD

NBC has halted production on freshman comedy SEAN SAVES THE WORLD, a rep for the show has confirmed.

Back in November, NBC ordered five additional installments (on top of the original 13-episode order), bringing the episode total up to 18. Now, the series will be done after the 14 episodes that have been completed. (12 episodes have aired. The two unaired episodes don’t have an airdate as of yet.)

Are you bummed out by NBC cutting SEAN SAVES THE WORLD short?
