David E. Kelley’s Mystery Drama ‘Avalon’ Not Moving Forward at ABC

The mystery drama “Avalon” from David E. Kelley starring Neve Cambell is no longer moving forward at ABC.  The show received a straight-to-series order in February and was based on a short story by Michael Connelly.

The series took place in the city of Avalon on Catalina Island, where L.A. Sheriff’s Department Detective Nicole “Nic” Searcy (Campbell) heads up a small office. Catalina has a local population that serves more than 1 million tourists a year, and each day when the ferries arrive, hundreds of potential new stories enter the island. Detective Searcy is pulled into a career-defining mystery that will challenge everything she knows about herself and the island.

Steven PasqualeRoslyn Ruff (Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector), Alexa Mansour (The Walking Dead: World Beyond) and Demetrius Grosse were also set to star.

Executive producers are Ross Fineman (Fineman Entertainment) and Barry Jossen & Tana Jamieson (A+E Studios).

Dana Calvo (Good Girls Revolt) had been set as showrunner and executive producer.

The series was produced by A+E Studios and 20th Television.
