Overview

  • Fox has officially canceled 'Rescue: HI-Surf' after just one season, confirming the March 31 finale as the series endpoint.
  • The show, co-produced by Warner Bros. Television and John Wells Productions, will not be shopped to other networks or platforms.
  • Despite a strong 4.7 million viewer premiere boosted by an NFL lead-in, the series averaged 2.8 million viewers and ranked mid-tier among Fox dramas.
  • High production costs, driven by on-location filming in Hawaii, contributed to the network's decision not to renew the series.
  • Originally developed at Max, the series followed the personal and professional lives of lifeguards on Oʻahu's North Shore, known for its dangerous coastline.
