Turns out the hotel may not have been so grand afterall. ABC is reportedly cancelling its new drama series Grand Hotel after just one season, according to Deadline.
- The series debuted back in June and ran for 13 episodes on ABC, ending its first and only season on September 9.
- According to Deadline, ABC’s President of Entertainment Karey Burke hinted at this cancellation in August, saying “We’re going to wait until the end of its run. It’s a show we like a lot. It’s a show that I wish the ratings were a bit stronger but we’ll make that decision after its run.”
- Grand Hotel starred Demian Bichir and Roselyn Sanchez and was executive produced by Eva Longoria.
- The series was written by Brian Tanen and was set in a Miami Beach hotel and focused on the family who owns it, the staff who run it and the secrets they all keep.

- Mack’s review of the series after its pilot episode in June may have pointed toward the series heading to this kind of unfortunate fate.
