ABC has canceled the drama shows “Alaska Daily,” “Big Sky,” and “The Company You Keep”. ABC has ended the show Alaska Daily, which starred Hilary Swank, after just one season.
The news doesn’t come as a big surprise, since the first season of the show didn’t do well and didn’t attract many viewers. LeeDaily says that “Alaska Daily,” “Big Sky,” and “The Company You Keep” have all been dropped by ABC. In the “Alaska Daily” series, Hilary Swank played Eileen Fitzgerald. She was described as
“a fiercely talented and award-winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.”
Jeff Perry plays Stanley Cornik, Matt Malloy plays Bob Young, Meredith Holzman plays Claire Muncy, Grace Dove plays Rosalind “Roz” Friendly, Pablo Castelblanco plays Gabriel Tovar, Ami Park plays Yuna Park, and Craig Frank plays Austin Teague.
McCarthy made the show, was in charge of it, and was in charge of the pilot. Executive producers were Swank, Melissa Wells, Bert Salke, Kyle Hopkins, and Ryan Binkley of the Anchorage Daily News. Peter Elkoff ran the show and was the chief producer. The name of the company was 20th Television.
The Anchorage Daily News tweeted on May 13th, “ABC has canceled the drama series ‘Alaska Daily,’ which starred Oscar winner Hilary Swank and told the fictionalized story of an Anchorage newspaper.”

The drama only ran for one season. When it was first announced in 2021, the Oscar-winning group made it a big deal for ABC to buy the show. In the series, Swank was joined by Tom McCarthy, who also won an Oscar. Nielsen Live+7 numbers through the end of April showed that 5.3 million people watched the show and that adults 18–49 gave it a 0.4 rating.
“Big Sky” ran for three seasons before it was pulled from the air. The third season of the drama show, called “Deadly Trails,” started in September on a television network. The show was based on the books by C.J. Box.
