Showtime has cancelled Guantanamo ahead of its planned premiere.
Per Deadline, the cabler has opted not to move forward with the drama series:
The pay cable network originally picked up the high-profile project from The Weinstein Company a year ago with a 10-episode series commitment. Created by Daniel Voll, it had Oscar winner Oliver Stone poised to direct the two-hour opening episode in his first foray into scripted TV.
I hear the TWC’s participation in Guantanamo has not been settled yet but Showtime has made a decision not to move forward with the series. It is unclear whether it will be shopped elsewhere. I hear Showtime’s decision was made before TWC’s sale to Lantern, which recently closed.
RIP.
