After NBC Pulls Plug on ‘Powerless,’ Co-Showrunner Sheds Light on Trump Inspiration, What Could Have Been

Powerless had two more episodes left in its first season, but NBC decided the show wouldn’t air in its regular Thursday slot, replacing it with Superstore reruns. The Peacock network hasn’t officially announced a cancellation or what they’ll do with the remaining episodes, but co-showrunner Justin Halpern took to Reddit to respond to fan questions in an impromptu Ask Me Anything forum.
