ABC has canceled its long-running soaps All My Children and One Life to Live.
The final episode of All My Children will air this September. One Life to Live will air through January 2012. The network will replace the soaps with two new shows, The Chew and The Revolution.
“All My Children and One Life to Live are iconic pieces of television that have made an indelible mark on our culture’s history,” Brian Frons, president of daytime at Disney ABC/Television Group, said in a statement.
“Each of the shows has touched millions and millions of viewers and informed the social consciousness. It has been a privilege to work with the extraordinary teams who brought the residents of Pine Valley and Llanview to life each day, and we thank the cast, crew, producers and most especially the fans for their commitment to the shows through their history.
“[Audiences] are telling us there is room
for informative, authentic and fun shows that are relatable, offer a wide variety of opinions and focus on ‘real life’ takeaways. A perfect example of this is The View, and that factored into our decision. The Chew and The Revolution are in the same vein and will be great additions to the lineup, withThe View serving as an ideal foundation from which to launch these programs. They will also provide enormous opportunity for the creation of ancillary businesses and growth.”
