AMC Cancels Conspiracy Thriller Rubicon

The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog is reporting that AMC has canceled its original conspiracy thriller series Rubicon, which had a short run this past summer.

In a statement from the network, "Rubicon gave us an opportunity to tell a rich and compelling story and we're very proud of the series. This was not an easy decision, but we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a phenomenally talented and dedicated team."

The series stars James Badge Dale as Will Travers, an analyst who cracks codes for a living at a New York City-based federal intelligence agency, who is thrown into a story where nothing is as it appears to be.

In stark contrast is AMC's latest original series, The Walking Dead, which is so popular it has already been renewed for a second season.
