The Beast(2001)

The Beast is an American drama series that premiered on ABC in June 2001. Created by Kario Salem, the show followed intense, high-stakes narratives centered on crime and law enforcement. Despite early promise, the series was canceled after just five episodes, making it a short-lived entry in the network's drama lineup. The show's brief run reflected the competitive landscape of early 2000s television, where new series faced immediate pressure to build audiences. Though it didn't find its footing with viewers, The Beast remains a footnote in ABC's drama history from that era.
