Description: Inspired by true events, HOUDINI & DOYLE draws heavily on the rich history of the period.

Why Was It Cancelled? This show never drew decent ratings during its Spring run on FOX, but then it did not receive much in the way of promotion either. It came as a partnership with the British ITV network, but it did not draw much of an audience across the Atlantic either. The show received mostly negative reviews and apparently the two networks decided it was not worth pursuing a second season, allowing this one to become yet another one-season-and-out casualty of the Too-Much-TV era.
