Debra Messing's 'Mysteries of Laura' Canceled After 2 Seasons

Debra Messing‘s crime drama The Mysteries of Laura has been canceled by NBC after two seasons on the network.

The series had a strong launch back in fall 2014 and stayed strong throughout its run, but the network reportedly has a strong lineup of new pilots that it had to make room for, according to Deadline.

Because The Mysteries of Laura is produced by Warner Bros., there is not extra incentive for NBC to keep it on the air.

Debra starred alongside Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, and Janina Gavankar in the series.
