‘Dear Edward’ Canceled By Apple After One Season

Apple has opted not to order a second season of its freshman drama Dear Edward.

The series was created by Friday Night Lights and Parenthood executive producer Jason Katims based on the novel of the same name from Ann Napolitano. It stemmed from Katims’ overall deal at Apple Studios (he has since moved to Imagine Television) and reunited him with Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton.

Dear Edward tells the story of Edward Adler (Colin O’Brien), a 12-year-old boy who survives a devastating commercial plane crash that kills every other passenger on the flight, including his family.
