The ABC soap opera The City aired from November 13, 1995 to March 28, 1997. It was a loose spin-off of Loving.
In the story, the (mostly young) survivors of the Corinth Serial Killer (the final story on Loving) all moved from the Pennsylvania town of Corinth to a spacious loft in New York's SoHo district.
While it was started by Loving creator Agnes Nixon, The City was different from other soaps of its day, as the city wasn't the main setting on this show: the loft and its surroundings took precedence, and the city was secondary. Also, the show was shot on film rather than videotape.
Like its predecessor, the show did not catch on (even though the cast had many famous faces, such as Morgan Fairchild, Jane Elliot, and Debbi Morgan) and was canceled less than eighteen months after its first episode.
