October Road is an American drama television series. It premiered on ABC on March 15, 2007, following Grey's Anatomy.[1] It follows Nick Garrett (played by former One Tree Hill star Bryan Greenberg) who, after a decade, returns to his hometown, the fictional Knights Ridge, Massachusetts. The show takes place in the same world as the 1996 movie Beautiful Girls; both were written by Scott Rosenberg based on his life and friends.[2]

The series is produced by ABC Studios and GroupM Entertainment; the latter is a partnership of media agencies within WPP Group that financed the series in exchange for ABC network-wide advertising time.[3] The show was created by André Nemec, Scott Rosenberg and Josh Appelbaum, who also serve as the series' executive producers.

The second season of October Road premiered on Thursday, November 22, 2007, at 10:00PM Eastern/9:00PM Central.[4]

October Road completed airing its second season on ABC, but was not renewed for a third season.[5][6]

Upon hearing of the cancellation, the show's creators co-wrote a 10-minute series finale and filmed it with the cast;[7] the finale was released on May 5, 2009, as a special feature on the season 2 DVD.[8]
