Syfy has opted to cancel Deadly Class and Happy! both of which were on their first season.
The former, an adaptation of Rick Remender’s comic book series, starred Lana Condor, Benjamin Wadsworth and Benedict Wong. Produced by the Russo brothers, the series revolved around an orphan who becomes a student assassin at King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts. Co-production partner Sony Pictures Television will now be shopping the show in an attempt to find it a new home. The show ran for one season.
The latter series will be shopped around by studio partner Universal Content Productions. Happy!, which ran for two seasons on Syfy, is based on Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. Christopher Meloni and Patton Oswalt starred in the series featuring a corrupt ex-cop-turned-hit man named Nick Sax and a tiny blue unicorn named Happy.
The first season of Happy! is streaming on Netflix.
