“Alice of Arabia”
ABC Family’s “Alice of Arabia” was cancelled just one week after the project got the green light. The show was supposed to be about a rebellious American teenage girl kidnapped by her Saudi Arabian family. The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the show for its racial undertones. ABC threw in the towel almost immediately and released a statement regarding their decision to cancel the project. “The current conversation surrounding our pilot was not what we had envisioned, and is certainly not conducive to the creative process, so we’ve decided not to move forward with this project,” it read.
