Pan Am is an American period drama television series created by writer Jack Orman.[2] Named for the iconic Pan American World Airways,[3][4][5][6] the series features the aircraft pilots and stewardesses of the fictional Pan Am Clipper Majestic, operating in the early 1960s at the beginning of the commercial Jet Age. The show stars Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie, Karine Vanasse, and Kelli Garner as the crew's stewardesses; and Michael Mosley and Mike Vogel as the pilots.

Pan Am premiered on ABC on September 25, 2011, and ended on February 19, 2012.[7] ABC canceled the series on May 11, 2012.[8][9] That same month, Sony Pictures Television had conversations with Amazon about picking up the series for a second season because of its critical success internationally, having won Best Series at the Rose d'Or TV awards.[10][11] Unable to reach a deal with Amazon, the producers officially ended the series on June 20, 2012.[12]
