AMC has dropped She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Tatiana Maslany's series Invitation to a Bonfire.
Also featuring Pilou Asbæk (who played the villainous Euron Greyjoy on Game of Thrones), the psychological thriller series is no longer going ahead at the network, despite the fact that over half the episodes have already been completed (via Variety).
As reported by Deadline, showrunner Rachel Caris Love has said she's now on the hunt for "a partner who's capable of giving us the support that we need" in light of AMC Networks slashing $400m from its content budget.

"Everyone on the cast and crew is really crushed," she said of the news. "When they called me, they said this had absolutely nothing to do with the creative and everything to do with finance and accounting. That's a very challenging thing to process when you're making something really beautiful and special.
"We made something one-of-a-kind... an erotic, suspenseful, and lush drama — told through the female gaze. We made a nesting doll of surprises. At the core: deceit, infidelity, murder."
Love, who executive produced the NBC crime drama Blindspot, went on to praise the creative talent involved in Invitation to a Bonfire, an adaptation of Adrienne Celt's novel of the same name.
"Our entire cast gave stunning performances. Freya Mavor, Pilou Asbæk, Ngozi Anyanwu, and Emmy-winner Tatiana Maslany were breathtaking. They gave their souls, as did our whole cast and crew.

"I'm immensely proud of what we made together and eager to look toward the future of Bonfire."
Netflix, can you do them a favour?
As far as the story goes, Invitation to a Bonfire is set in 1930s New Jersey at an all-girls boarding school.
Maslany plays Zoya, a young Russian immigrant working as the school's groundskeeper. When a mysterious novelist joins the faculty, Zoya becomes drawn into a dangerous love triangle with him and his "bewitching" wife.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is streaming on Disney+.
