No Season 2 for the Hilary Swank drama.
May 12, 2023
Word is out that Alaska Daily has been cancelled by ABC after one season. Coming six weeks after its freshman finale, the news is not surprising as the drama struggled to find a sizeable audience over the course of its 11-episode run.
The series stars Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a recently disgraced reporter from New York who leaves her high-profile career behind looking for a fresh start at a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska. There, she begins a journey to find personal and professional redemption.

Another good show bites the dust! I really loved this. I hope one of the streaming networks will pick it up, but with the writer's strike happening now, there's probably zero chance of that happening. Maybe I'll just stop watching television all together and start reading again.

Sad to hear this. My wife and I watched every episode and really looked forward to watching each episode. I had been following the ratings and suspected this might happen. Seems like the good ones we like never make it. All the younger generation seems to focus on reality shows.

Awful news after a great first season! We need more stories like this, treated with respect and calm, where people matters...

Awful news! My husband and I really loved this show! Brought something not talked about, out into the open. ABC you do have adult viewers and this show was for caring, thinking, mindful adults. But perhaps it’s easier to cater to mindless teens and young people. Perhaps you need to get some new Programmers!

Swank just had twins. This might have been a mutual decision.

One of the best new shows, just shows how politics in Alaska and a lack of caring about indigenous people can get lost on TV just as people get lost in the real world.
Some streamer needs to pickup this show.

My husband and I love this show. We think the subject matter is always interesting and eye opening. The show covers subjects that SHOULD be covered more often.

I wasn't going to watch this series but ran out of things to watch one week. I binged-watched most of this series until the last few episodes and I liked it. I did realize this series was going to be borderline whether it would be renewed and it wasn't:(

Once again, a serious drama about thinking and caring adults has been canceled after only one (excellent) season. I wish that programmers would realize that not everyone wants a diet of mindless fluff 24/7.
