Back in May, I was surprised that ABC picked up Stumptown for another season because it did not do that well in the ratings. That was then, today, the network cancelled the series that stars Cobie Smulders.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, they made the late decision reversal because of production delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, and creative differences with the way they were taking the show. They needed more time to come up with scripts that they big whigs approved of, and that would have delayed the show too long. Therefore, it was another casuality of COVID-19.
While ABC is no lonher movie forward with it, they are shopping around to see if someone else might be interested in it. Since it is part of the Disney family, maybe Hulu will save it.
