What happens

Wasteland is an American drama that aired on ABC from October 7 until October 21, 1999. The show was created by Kevin Williamson and produced by Outerbanks Entertainment and Miramax Television. It explored such topics as college, friendships, romance and homosexuality. It aired only three episodes in October 1999 before ABC canceled it. However, Showtime's ShowNext channel aired the 10 remaining episodes in 2001. Justin Theroux says he turned down a role in Wasteland to star in Mulholland Drive, which was initially commissioned as a television pilot by ABC and went into production around the same time.
