Showtime has canceled “City on a Hill” after three seasons. The ’90s-set crime drama starring Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge finished airing on Sept. 25.
“‘City on a Hill’ concluded its successful run on Showtime with its Season 3 finale,” a Showtime spokesperson told media outlets. “We have had nothing but the best experience working with Kevin Bacon, Aldis Hodge and the entire cast and crew, led by showrunner Tom Fontana and fellow executive producers including Jennifer Todd and Jorge Zamacona. We offer our sincerest thanks to everyone.”
Insiders tell TheWrap the decision to cancel “City on a Hill” was made months ago, and predated the exit of David Nevins as chairman and CEO of Paramount Premium Group. After Nevins’ departure, Showtime was brought under the purview of Chris McCarthy.

Ken Loach's latest brings tartan to Cannes while Victoria Wood may soon take her place in the director's chair
Whisky a Go Go
Evening was drawing in when I called Charlie MacLean at home near Edinburgh. "I was just contemplating if it was too early for a dram," he says. "I think six o'clock is about the right time for one's first nip, so we can talk until then." MacLean is a world expert on whisky, a Master of the Quaich, no less, and features prominently in Ken Loach's new film The Angels' Share, a warming socio-comic caper about a bunch of Glasgow ne'er-do-wells who plot to steal a rare malt whisky. The film has been selected for Cannes (which starts on Wednesday) – making it Loach's record-breaking 11th appearance in competition – and now Charlie is preparing to tread the red carpet and organise a whisky tasting party afterwards.
