Sin City Saints is an American TV series starring Malin Åkerman, Andrew Santino, and Keith Powers. It debuted on Yahoo! Screen on March 23, 2015. Its eight-episode first season was directed by Bryan Gordon and Fred Savage. The series follows a fictional Las Vegas basketball franchise. Its executive producers are Bryan Gordon, Mike Tollin, and Chris Case. On January 5, 2016, the series was cancelled due to the Yahoo! Screen closure because of low viewership in the following year.
Yahoo! Inc. announced its first original long-form programs, the comedies Sin City Saints and Other Space, in April 2014 at the 2014 Digital Content NewFronts. By early October, production on Sin City Saints had begun at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. Eight episodes were released simultaneously on Yahoo! Screen on March 23, 2015.
Mike Hale in The New York Times called the show "a comedy less coherent than the halftime scoreboard video at an NBA game", where "[p]lot points and jokes feel as if they came from index cards grabbed at random." Keith Uhlich in The Hollywood Reporter felt the "manic, mostly unfunny half-hour sports comedy" featured "sub-Tracy and Hepburn bickering ... that barely elicits a smirk, let alone busts a gut", and called the casting "problematic.... Both Akerman and Santino are irritatingly one-note."
On October 21, 2015, Yahoo CFO Ken Goldman announced during a Q3 Earnings Phone Call that their original programming lineup last spring resulted in a $42 million dollar writeoff, including season six of Community and Other Space.
