ABC has decided to end the drama series Alaska Daily, led by Hilary Swank, after just one season. The cancellation is not unexpected, as the show failed to establish a significant fan base or gain popularity.
The series, created by Tom McCarthy, revolves around Eileen Fitzgerald (played by Swank), a highly skilled and acclaimed investigative journalist. Eileen leaves her prominent life in New York behind after a major setback and joins a daily newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska. Her goal is to seek personal and professional redemption.
As a reporter for the local newspaper, Eileen delves into a cold case involving missing indigenous women, which lacks substantial information and requires a fresh perspective. Her investigation leads her into the dark underbelly of the city, uncovering dangerous secrets that many would rather keep hidden.
In addition to Hilary Swank, the cast of Alaska Daily includes Jeff Perry, Matt Malloy, Meredith Holzman, Grace Dove, Pablo Castelblanco, Ami Park, and Craig Frank.
The series is created and executive produced by Tom McCarthy, while Hilary Swank, Melissa Wells, Bert Salke, Kyle Hopkins (Anchorage Daily News), Ryan Binkley (Anchorage Daily News), and Peter Elkoff, who also serves as the showrunner, are also executive producers. Alaska Daily is produced by 20th Television, a division of Disney Television Studios.
Today, ABC announced the cancellation of three series, including Alaska Daily, Big Sky, and The Company You Keep. The fate of Rookie: Feds, the only remaining drama series on the network, is still undecided but may have a better chance of continuation following these recent developments.
