What happens

The Cape is an American superhero drama television series, first shown on NBC during the 2010–2011 television season as a mid-season replacement. A two-hour pilot episode aired on Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 9 pm Eastern and Pacific Time, and was repeated the next day. Further episodes aired on Monday evenings at 9 pm from January 17. NBC reduced the number of episodes ordered from 13 to 10 due to low ratings. On March 2, 2011, NBC canceled the series after one season. It was also announced that the series finale would be shown only on the network's website. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
