Axe falls on 'Reunion', 'Threshold'

Struggling freshmen series Reunion, Threshold and Hot Properties have all been cancelled, Variety said today.

Reunion has failed to register for FOX in its Thursday, 9pm slot, despite having The O.C as its lead-in. Production will wrap after its initial thirteen episode order, although exactly how the ongoing mystery will resolve - the series premise entailed a slow reveal over twenty episodes - is unknown.

Production on sci-fi series Threshold will also wrap after thirteen episodes. The show recently dipped to just 6.5 million viewers for CBS in its new Tuesday night slot, although the show has posted encouraging numbers for Sky One in the UK.

Meanwhile, ABC is expected to ditch Sex and the City-style comedy Hot Properties next month. Less Than Perfect and new comedy Crumbs are likely to take over the Friday, 9.30pm slot.
