The Cape is an American superhero drama television series, first shown on NBC during the 2010–2011 television season as a mid-season replacement.[1] 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.[2] NBC reduced the number of episodes ordered from 13 to 10 due to low ratings.[3]

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.[4]
