ABC is postponing the launch of Cashmere Mafia because not enough episodes were filmed ahead of Monday's start of the WGA strike.
So far only 7 episodes of the Lucy Liu-starring dramedy are in the can of an original 13 episode order. One of the immediate knock-on effects of the strike is that networks are looking to hold back episodes of primetime programming so that new-run episodes can be shown well into the New Year in the event of a protracted work stoppage.
It is understood that Cashmere's debut will be replaced on November 29 with an expanded two-hour season finale of Dancing With The Stars; a permanent replacement has yet to be named.
