Fox Reduces MINORITY REPORT's First Season

At just over a few weeks into the show, FOX has cut MINORITY REPORT's run short.

The network has announced that their new drama, starring Tony nominee Stark Sands (KINKY BOOTS, JOURNEY'S END), has been cut from 13 episodes to 10. The Monday night show has seen low ratings ever since its season premiere in September. Barring an unexpected surge in ratings, Variety reports that FOX will probably cancel the show after the tenth episode.

Set in Washington, D.C., it is 10 years after the demise of Precrime, a law enforcement agency tasked with identifying and eliminating criminals...before their crimes were committed. To carry out this brand of justice, the agency used three precogs - "precognitives" Dash, ARTHUR and Agatha - who were able to see the future. Now, in 2065, crime-solving is different, and justice leans more on sophisticated and trusted technology than on the instincts of the precogs.

Precog DASH (Stark Sands, "Inside Llewyn Davis") - driven by his terrifying, but fragmented visions - now has returned in secret to help a brash, but shrewd, police detective, LARA vega (Meagan Good, "Think Like A Man" franchise, "Californication"), attempt to stop the murders that he predicts.

As they navigate this future America, they will search for Dash's missing twin brother, ARTHUR, and elude others who will stop at nothing to exploit their precog abilities. Also complicating matters is Dash and Arthur's ingenious, but reclusive, foster sister, AGATHA (Laura Regan, "Mad Men," "Unbreakable"), who just wants Dash to return home.

A drama of crime and conspiracy, this is a timeless story of connection: two lost souls, Dash and Vega, who find friendship, purpose and redemption in each other.
