Overview

  • ABC allowed cast contracts to expire on June 30, effectively ending Doctor Odyssey after its May season finale.
  • Joshua Jackson said he was “bummed out” by the cancellation and acknowledged producers may recast the series without him.
  • Co-creators Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken remain in talks with ABC about Doctor Odyssey’s future while Murphy focuses on several other series.
  • Three former props crew members filed a lawsuit alleging months of unchecked sexual harassment on set and accusing 20th Television and Disney of ignoring complaints.
  • High production costs and the expired renewal window have prompted insiders to doubt any near-term revival on ABC or another network.
