Wicked City is an American procedural drama television series created by Steven Baigelman for the broadcast network ABC. The series aired from October 27, 2015 to December 30, 2015, and focused on two LAPD detectives (Jeremy Sisto and Gabriel Luna) as they search for a pair of romantically-linked serial killers (Ed Westwick and Erika Christensen) terrorizing the Sunset Strip. The main cast also includes Taissa Farmiga, Karolina Wydra, Evan Ross, Anne Winters, and Jaime Ray Newman.
On November 13, 2015, after airing only three episodes, ABC announced Wicked City had been cancelled, pulling the series from its fall schedule and stopping production following the completion of the eighth episode. It was the first network television cancellation of the 2015–16 season, due to weak ratings and low viewership. The remaining episodes were made available by Hulu on December 22, 2015, with the finale being released on December 30, 2015.
In 1982 Los Angeles, police detectives Jack Roth (Jeremy Sisto) and Paco Contreras (Gabriel Luna) are partnered up to investigate a series of murders on the Sunset Strip. The detectives enlist the help of journalist Karen McClaren (Taissa Farmiga), photographer Diver Hawkes (Evan Ross), and Jack's mistress and undercover cop Dianne Kubek (Karolina Wydra) in order to identify and capture the Hollywood Slayer (Ed Westwick) and his lover (Erika Christensen).
