ABC Cancels John Stamos-Led Drama, MEMBERS ONLY

ABC has officially cancelled their newest drama before its midseason launch, MEMBERS ONLY.

Starring John Stamos, the ABC Studios/CBS TV Studios show was supposed to be David O. Russell's television directorial debut. However, Russell left the show in February, a month after it was picked up. Producers included Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly, as well as executive producer/screenwriter Susannah Grant.

The pilot was the only licensed episode thusfar, and it had no premiere date.

Members Only is described as "an upstairs/downstairs drama set at an exclusive Connecticut country club, centered on the club's leisure-class members and the working-class employees that make the place tick." Stamos will take on the role of the husband of Mickey, played by Natalie Zea, a "fast-talking hedge-fund billionaire whose marriage to Mickey has bought him what his money never could: membership."
