MTV’s campus rape-themed series Sweet/Vicious has scored critic and fanbase love, but lasted just one season before the network cancelled it.
Speaking at the ATX Television Festival last weekend, executive producer Stacey Sher explained how there’s still hope the show may continue.
“MTV took a really long time. It killed us slowly and not so kindly, but they said to us, ‘If you can find a studio that will partner, we will go forward,’ which ultimately didn’t happen. We found four studios, and all we really need is a network now, and we’re still incredibly hopeful.
They’ve been very gracious, and have said they’ll make it very easy for us because they were very proud of the show and many people there cheerlead the show. They had a lot of regime changes, which was challenging.”
The series followed Ophelia (Taylor Dearden) and Jules (Eliza Bennett) who take vigilante action against the perpetrators of sexual assault.
