FX’s ‘The Bridge,’ set in El Paso-Juarez, cancelled after 2 seasons

The FX drama “The Bridge,” set in El Paso and Juarez, has been cancelled, according to multiple media reports.

The show, which won a 2013 Peabody award, starred Demian Bichir and Diane Kruger.

Season 1 involved the hunt for a serial killer while Season 2 included more dead bodies and corruption.

The pilot was shot in El Paso.

Before the first season even started airing in July 2013, executive producer Elwood Reid told ABC-7 he already had ideas for season two and beyond.

“When we decided to set this down in Juarez and El Paso, immediately I knew – just reading the newspapers and the books I did a lot of research – you have season after season of material, which to me was an important thing because a lot of times you write things and you don’t know where it’s going to go past the pilot. Or past one or two episodes,” Reid told ABC-7 this past summer. “But just setting the show down in Mexico on that border down there in El Paso just automatically I had season after season. Right now, the season we’re working on, the first season, we will set up what the second season is going to be in the last couple of episodes. So you’ll kind of get – we’re going to resolve our primary mystery – which is who killed these people on the bridge and why. What does he want? And we’re then going to sort of begin to introduce the next idea for next season. But it will not be following another ‘serial killer.'”
