Wilson Chapman editor“Tom Swift” has been canceled by The CW after one season, Variety has confirmed.The news comes less than a month after the series, a spinoff of “Nancy Drew,” premiered on May 31.
Sources close to the project tell Variety the decision came down to ratings, as the show failed to find an audience via linear TV or streaming.
The five episodes of the series that have aired so far drew 0.1 ratings in the 18-49 demographic.The news also comes a little over a month after The CW canceled a sizable amount of their originals, including “Charmed,” “Dynasty,” “Rosewell, New Mexico,” “4400,” “Legacies,” “Naomi” and “Batwoman.” In January, it was announced that Nexstar Media Group is in negotiations with the channel to acquire a sizable stake in it, after years of being predominantly owned by WarnerMedia.
Produced by CBS Studios and Fake Empire, “Tom Swift” stars Tian Richards as the title character, who was first created for the 1910 book “Tom Swift and His Motor Cycle.” Originally portrayed as a teen inventor, the series reimagines Swift as a Black, gay billionaire who is thrust into conflict with a mysterious global cabal following the sudden disappearance of his father.
