NBC is no longer digging The 1970s.
The Peacock network has abruptly pulled the plug on its in-the-works music-themed limited series exec-produced by The Voice‘s Adam Levine, TVLine has confirmed.
Deadline reports that the project’s swelling budget was partly to blame for the premature cancellation, while The Hollywood Reporter notes that Hayden Christensen was in talks to play one of the lead roles, but would only sign on the dotted line if the project received a straight-to-series order (something NBC balked at).
The 1970s was to explore the decade from the POV of the independent music companies that launched some of the era’s biggest stars.
