1. Vinyl
When Vinyl was released earlier this year it was meant to be one of the biggest shows ever to hit HBO. Martin Scorsese and Terrence Winter teamed up once more to bring a compelling story to the screen – the rock scene of the 1970s New York City. Bringing Mick Jagger to the mix was sure to bring the show the realness it needed. HBO put its trust and its money in the project, investing north of $100 million in the series.
Reviews weren’t that great, ratings weren’t that great either. Despite announcing a second season after the premiere of Vinyl, HBO changed its mind and decided not to proceed with the plans after all. That’s a big disappointment and a lot of money to spend on a show that you’re not even going to continue. All in all, this takes Vinyl to the top of the list of the 7 biggest HBO flops of all time.
