ABC cancels ‘The Wonder Years’ reboot, which was shot in Atlanta

Fred Savage, who starred in the original series, was a director and executive producer on the new version but was fired last year following a misconduct investigation.

It’s been a brutal year for broadcast TV in Atlanta. CBS’s effort to re-do the film “True Lies” into TV series form didn’t work and lasted just one season. Fox retired its medical series “The Resident” after six years. The CW, under new ownership, has largely bailed on domestic scripted series and killed off three series shot in metro Atlanta: “Naomi,” “DC’s Stargirl” and “Gotham Knights.”

The only remaining scripted shows on broadcast television shot in Atlanta are ABC’s popular cop drama ‘Will Trent” and NBC’s upcoming new thriller “Found,” which finished shooting before the writers’ strike began.
