ABC’s “Eastwick” will cease production after its 13th episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The network meanwhile has expanded its first-season order for “The Forgotten” by five episodes, but is apparently ditching "Forgotten" showrunner Lukas Reiter (“Close to Home,” “The Philanthropist”).
“Eastwick” was stronger in 18-49 than “The Forgotten” at the start of the season, but now “Forgotten” is the healthier of the two:
1.9 (2.0) (1.9) (2.0) (1.9) (2.0) (2.6) The Forgotten
1.5 (1.8) (1.6) (1.7) (1.8) (2.3) (3.0) Eastwick
"Forgotten" continues to define “bubble show.” The only primetime shows delivering worse ratings than "Forgotten" and "Eastwick" for ABC this season are “Hank,” “Supernanny” and “Ugly Betty.”
