But that doesnt mean ABC is completely through with more serialized fare, as the anthology series American Crime has managed to keep its lifeforce going for Season 3, which has been officially ordered for the upcoming fall season.
Thanks to a focus on keeping things fairly non-sensationalized, American Crime hasnt been quite the headline maker as the similarly-named American Crime Story over on FX, but thats part of what keeps it so narratively solid.
American Crime was created by the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley.
Looking past the ratings, American Crime has been one of ABCs most critically lauded shows in years, with almost universally positive acclaim for the two-year drama.
