‘Rescue HI-Surf’ Canceled By Fox After One Season


Fox has opted not to renew freshman drama series 'Rescue HI-Surf' from producer John Wells for a second season.

The cancellation comes more than a month after Rescue HI-Surf ‘s Season 1 finale, which aired March 31, and a year after Fox revealed its big expectations for the series last spring — giving it a very early seven-episode back order and assigning it the post-Super Bowl slot. Rescue HI-Surf developed a loyal following but, possibly hurt by the fact that there is no well known, promotable star in the cast, it was not a breakout the way fellow freshman Fox drama Doc was, earning an early 22-episode renewal. The first red flag came in November, two months into Rescue HI-Surf ‘s run, when Fox did a very rare last-minute switch of its Super Bowl lead-out program, replacing the freshman drama with the Season 3 premiere of game show The Floor.
