TORONTO – The Canadian television production industry suffered another blow Friday with news that Vancouver-shot series King & Maxwell has been cancelled.
The decision by U.S. cable network TNT to pull the plug after one season comes only days after AMC cancelled The Killing, which was also filmed in Vancouver, and BBC America announced an end to the Toronto-shot series Copper.
King & Maxwell stars Rebecca Romijn and Jon Tenney as former Secret Service agents working as private investigators.

The series, like Copper, airs in Canada on Showcase.
A number of TV series remain in production in the Vancouver area, including Arrow, The Tomorrow People, Supernatural, Witches of East End, The 100, Once Upon a Time, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Falling Skies and Almost Human.
Toronto is playing host to Beauty and the Beast, Covert Affairs, Defiance, Lost Girl, Hannibal, Lucky 7, Nikita, Orphan Black, Reign and Suits as well as upcoming series The Strain and Working the Engels.
Being Human and the new sci-fi series Helix are in production in Montreal until December.
