Has ABC canceled 'Pan Am'? Series star Karine Vanasse sent a vague tweet about the future of the series.
"Well, we received THE call, #PanAm is only coming back for one more episode after Christmas," she said on Twitter. "But up to the end, we'll give it our all!"
The series, set in the 1960s, followed a group of young stewardesses and pilots as they traveled the world as part of Pan American World Airways. Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie, Kelli Garner, Mike Vogel and Michael Mosley round out the cast.
The show debuted to solid numbers, the premiere was watched by more than 11 million viewers, but subsequent episodes dropped sharply in total viewers. The most recent episode was watched by 5.6 million viewers.
ABC left the series off its midseason schedule, replacing it with 'GCB.' The network is still maintaining the show has a shot at a second season. "Pan Am' is not canceled -- it's shooting and airing 14 episodes and is still in contention for next season," a rep for ABC told AOL TV.
"Nothing has changed," another ABC rep said. "We are not canceling 'Pan Am.' We are still in production and will continue to be in production finishing the original 13 episodes plus one more additional one. We have one more original episode this coming week, Dec. 4 and then will return in January with new episodes, airing all of them. 'Pan Am' is still in contention for next season. We won't know about that until our upfront announcement in May."
'Pan Am' is one of two network period dramas to launch in the 2011 season. The other, 'The Playboy Club,' was canceled after three episodes.
