Lucky 7 (TV series)

Lucky 7 is an American drama television series that ran from September 24, to October 1, 2013, on ABC as part of the 2013–14 American television season. The one-hour series is based on the British television show The Syndicate, which was created by Kay Mellor. Steven Spielberg phoned Kay Mellor to tell her how much he loved the original, and a few months later became an executive producer on Lucky 7. ABC placed a series order on May 10, 2013. The pilot episode earned only 1.3 rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic, making Lucky 7 the lowest rated fall drama premiere in ABC history.

On October 4, 2013, ABC canceled the series due to low ratings. It was the first show of the 2013–14 season to be canceled.

On September 25, 2014, ABC released all the episodes produced on iTunes, which were a total of 8 episodes.
