Freeform decided to start the weekend with some bad news regarding two of its flagships: Single Drunk Female and The Watchful Eye. Are you ready to know more?
Here we go!
According to Deadline, Freeform decided to cancel the darkly humorous irreverent comedy series Single Drunk Female after its second season and the intriguing show The Watchful Eye after just one season. And we are going to miss them!
Single Drunk Female follows 20-something alcoholic Samantha Fink (Sofia Black-D’Elia) who, after a public flame-out at a New York media company, is forced to seize the only chance she has to sober up and avoid jail time: moving back home with her overbearing mother, Carol (Ally Sheedy).
Back in Greater Boston, Samantha sets out on a path to move past her worst self and figure out her best self. Kinda.
For its part, The Watchful Eye stars Mariel Molino and is a Hitchcockian contemporary thriller that follows a young woman as she is thrust into a world of old money and deadly secrets. It follows Elena Santos, a bright, savvy young woman hired as the live-in nanny to a wealthy widower and his young son.
When Elena moves into The Greybourne, a landmark Manhattan apartment building, she quickly learns about the complex politics among its wealthy inhabitants and a history riddled with mystery and tragedy. Luckily, Elena is more than equipped to handle anything that comes her way on her own terms.
