Axed: Reef Break

Bad news for Queensland with US drama Reef Break being axed by ABC (US).

Although the series is yet to screen in Australia, it has been good for the local industry, shooting on the Gold Coast.

Poppy Montgomery starred as a thief-turned-fixer on a Pacific Island paradise. Impulsive, reckless and irresistible, her less-than-perfect past gives her an instinctive gift for understanding crime and criminals.

13 episodes were made, also featuring Ray Stevenson, Desmond Chiam, Melissa Bonne and Tamala Shelton.

But reports Variety the show failed to find a significant audience or critical acclaim with its release. Whether it will screen in Australia is unclear.
