NBC had Goliath-sized hopes for Kings, but the series has never grown past underdog status.
Thanks to its anemic ratings, Kings is off the Sunday night schedule starting this week, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The freshman drama pulled only a 1.1 rating among the desirable 18-49 demographic, losing from the 1.5 of its Dateline lead-in. A second hour of Dateline will occupy the spot Kings held.
Kings was a modern re-telling of the Biblical story of David, showing the rise to power of young David Shepherd (Christopher Egan) against the monarchy of morally ambiguous Silas Benjamin (Ian McShane). NBC will burn the series’ remaining eight episodes starting April 18.
