TNT Won’t Be Revisiting Mob City

The six episode first season of Mob City is all there will be of the crime drama, according to TNT. Created by Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead), TNT has opted not to move forward with more episodes of the show which debuted in December and never caught on with viewers. There was a lot of buzz surrounding the series prior to its launch, but ratings remained soft throughout its six episode run.
 
“Mob City was created as a three-week television event and we are incredibly proud of the six hours we presented of this remarkable drama,” stated a TNT spokesperson said. “Although the ratings of the limited series haven’t warranted more hours we are eager to work with Frank Darabont again and were delighted to bring the vibrant world of Mob City to life.”
 
The series starred The Walking Dead alum Jon Bernthal and Milo Ventimiglia, Neal McDonough, Alexa Davalos, Jeffrey DeMunn, Gregory Itzin, Robert Knepper, Jeremy Luke, and Ed Burns.
 
The Mob City Plot:
 
Based on the critically acclaimed book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin, Mob City is set in post-war Los Angeles, home to glamorous movie stars, powerful studio heads and returning war heroes. But it’s also a city caught between a powerful and corrupt police force and an even more dangerous criminal network determined to make L.A. its West Coast base.
