Graceland Canceled at USA Network After Three Seasons

blog

USA Network has pulled the plug on “Graceland,” Variety has learned. The action drama, which debuted as a summer series in 2013, will not return for Season 4.

Created by Jeff Eastin, the series followed a group of undercover agents from various law enforcement agencies who live together in a Southern California beach house, known as Graceland. Aaron Tveit starred alongside Daniel Sunjata as a rookie agent who’s assigned to the house right after he graduates from FBI training.

The NBCUniversal cabler show, which hailed from Fox 21 Television studios, also starred Vanessa Ferlito, Manny Montana, Brandon Jay McLaren and Serinda Swan.

Eastin took to Twitter to thank his fans Thursday afternoon, after learning of the cancellation.

For the most recent season, it averaged a 0.55 rating in adults 18-49, a 0.66 rating in adults 25-54 and 1.5 million total viewers, according to Nielsen’s “live-plus 3” estimates.

A source close to the show tells Variety though USA was very pleased with the show creatively, the ratings just didn’t warrant a renewal.
