NBC Cancels Vanessa Hudgens-Led POWERLESS After One Season

After yanking the final three episodes of its freshman comedy POWERLESS from the programming line up, Deadline reports that NBC has officially canceled the series. The show premiered with a mere 3.1 million viewers in Live+Same Day and ratings continued to decline as the season progressed.

About the show: In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don't need superpowers to be a hero. Danny Pudi, Christina Kirk and Ron Funches also star.

Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, Len Goldstein, Marc Buckland and Dean Lorey are executive producers of "Powerless." Buckland served as the director of the pilot. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and is based on the characters from DC.
