The freshman spy drama is gone after pulling terrible ratings.
NBC have announced they've pulled the plug on freshman series 'Allegiance' after airing just five episodes of the drama. While eight episodes of the series had already been filmed, the show's cancellation is effective immediately, so it looks like the remaining three episode wont be seeing the light of day.
Hope Davis starred in 'Allegiance'.
'Allegiance' starred newcomer Gavin Stenhouse as Alex O'Connor, a CIA analyst who is unknowingly investigating his own family. Alongside Stenhouse the series also starred Hope Davis and Scott Cohen as O'Connor's parents, as well as Margarita Levieva and Kenneth Choi. It had been based on Israeli television series 'The Gordin Cell'.

'Allegiance' had occupied the network's 10pm time slot on Thursdays, which will now be taken over by family drama 'The Slap' which stars Zachary Quinto, Thandie Newton and Peter Sarsgaard. Based on the Australian series of the same name, 'The Slap' follows events after an adult is accused of hitting another family's child, Uma Thurman also stars.
