Christina Hendricks' crime comedy-drama series Good Girls AXED after four seasons

Christina Hendricks’ crime-dramedy series Good Girls has been axed.

The NBC series, which also stars Retta and Mae Whitman, is mid-way through it’s fourth season and will come to an end after the five remaining episodes air.

Several other shows have been canceled by the network in the recent past, including Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Manifest, both of which were given the axe earlier this month.

Good Girls followed a trio of financially challenged mothers who perform a robbery at their local grocery store in order to alleviate their troubles.

After the crime is performed, their unofficial leader, portrayed by Hendricks, slowly grows to enjoy a lifestyle on the other side of the law, which draws her and her friends deeper into criminal ways.

Other performers who were regularly featured on the program included Matthew Lillard, Reno Wilson and Manny Montana.

Good Girls also boasted a formidable list of recurring actors, including David Hornsby, Ione Skye and Ethan Suplee, among several others.

Stacked cast: The Mad Men star was featured alongside Retta and Mae Whitman while working on the program

Kathleen Lee Perkins, best known for her work on series such as Episodes and You’re The Worst, was originally set to star in the series before its 46-year-old lead stepped in and filled the role.

Good Girls was created and executive produced by former Grey’s Anatomy writer Jenna Bans, who also helmed the screenplay for several of the show’s episodes.

The series as a whole received generally positive critical reception, with many critics pointing out that although the show’s plot was unbelievable at times, the performances of its cast were generally strong.

The show did not perform strongly when its episodes were originally broadcast, although it was NBC’s second most-watched show on digital platforms.

Good Girls’ production team was hopeful that they would be able to continue the program’s story with a fifth season, although Deadline reported that NBC did not see a way to make things work financially. 

Efforts were also made to move the series over to Netflix, which holds the series’ streaming rights, although they ultimately proved to be unfruitful.

Done for good: Efforts to move the show to Netflix ultimately failed, and its production team will not be shopping the series around following its upcoming finale

The series previously held a high position within the service and regularly topped its charts. 

The program’s studio, Universal Television, will not be shopping Good Girls around to any other networks. 

The teams behind the other three shows that were recently axed by NBC, namely Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Debris and Manifest, are all looking for ways to continue their stories.
