Freeform swings axe on ‘Single Drunk Female’ & ‘The Watchful Eye’

Single Drunk Female

US cablenet Freeform has swung the axe on a pair of scripted series, cancelling comedy Single Drunk Female after two seasons and mystery thriller The Watchful Eye after its freshman run.

Created by Simone Finch, Single Drunk Female hailed from 20^th Television and followed Samantha Fink (Sofia Black-D’Elia), a young alcoholic woman who is forced to move back home to live with her overbearing mother Carol (Ally Sheedy) as she tries to get her life back on track.

The show, which debuted its second season in April, had also been showing on US streaming service Hulu.

The Watchful Eye, meanwhile, launched its first season on Freeform in January. Created by Julie Durk, it was produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and ABC Signature. The show followed Elena Santos (Mariel Molino), who takes a job as a live-in nanny for a wealthy New York family, and soon discovers that everyone in the building has dark secrets.
