'Underground' Canceled By WGN America, John Legend Vows It Will Find New Home
After two highly acclaimed seasons, WGN America's groundbreaking slavery drama Underground has been canceled by the network. The shocking cancellation comes after the show has constantly gained viewers and achieved notoriety as a quality series to watch. However, the move seems to come as the network shifts from original scripted programming after the network was purchased by the conservative broadcasting company Sinclair Broadcast Group earlier this year. Despite networks like OWN and BET opting not to pick up the series, John Legend, one of the show's executive producers, hinted that the show might find a second life while expressing pride in the show itself. "Content wins," he tweeted. "We're not reliant on a particular network to make great content. We're so proud of our show and the audience that supported!" #BringBackUnderground
