Despite getting a straight-to-series, 13-episode order, the show wasn’t coming together creatively in the way that executives had hoped, sources tell EW.
Hieroglyph, which was slated to debut in 2015, centered on a notorious thief (Beauty and the Beast’s Max Brown), who is plucked from prison to serve the Pharaoh while navigating palace intrigue, seductive concubines, criminal underbellies and even a few divine sorcerers.
The cast also included John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings), Reece Ritchie, Kelsey Chow, Condola Rashad, Caroline Ford and Antony Bunsee.
