'A Town Called Malice' Cancelled at Sky Max/Now After One Series

The sun is setting on Sky's Spanish crime drama 'A Town Called Malice' after just one series. Sky has informed producers Vertigo Films and Rogue State of its decision to cancel the show, which has come as a surprise to some given preparations were underway for Series 2. Sky backed 'A Town Called Malice' with its full marketing heft, but the show has not performed as hoped. The drama's ratings were lower than expected and Sky insiders are blaming the competitive environment for scripted content.
