Lucky 7 is an American drama television series that ran from September 24, to October 1, 2013, on ABC as part of the 2013–14 American television season. The one-hour series is based on the British television show The Syndicate, which was created by Kay Mellor.[3] Steven Spielberg phoned Kay Mellor to tell her how much he loved the original, and a few months later became an executive producer on Lucky 7.[1][2] ABC placed a series order on May 10, 2013.[4] The pilot episode earned only 1.3 rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic, making Lucky 7 the lowest rated fall drama premiere in ABC history.[5]

On October 4, 2013, ABC canceled the series due to low ratings. It was the first show of the 2013–14 season to be canceled.[citation needed]

On September 25, 2014, ABC released all the episodes produced on iTunes, which were a total of 8 episodes.[citation needed]
