NBC Cancels REVERIE

"Reverie" has been cancelled by NBC, according to Variety.

The drama series starred Sarah Shahi and it premiered in May and ran through August - over the summer stretch when viewership levels are lower than they are during the Nielsen season.

From Mickey Fisher, the creator of "Extant," this grounded new thriller follows Mara Kint (Shahi), a former hostage negotiator and expert on human behavior, who became a college professor after facing an unimaginable personal tragedy. But when her former boss, Charlie Ventana (Dennis Haysbert), brings her in to save ordinary people who have lost themselves in an immersive, highly advanced virtual reality program in which users can live out their wildest dreams, she finds that in saving others, she may actually have discovered a way to save herself.

The cast also includes Sendhil Ramamurthy, Kathryn Morris and Jessica Lu.
