666 Park Avenue is an American supernatural drama television series that aired on ABC from September 30, 2012, to July 13, 2013. The series was developed and produced by David Wilcox, and was loosely based upon the novel of the same name by author Gabriella Pierce. The show stars Rachael Taylor, Dave Annable, Vanessa Williams, and Terry O'Quinn and follows a couple who learns that the Manhattan apartment building that they just moved into, including its upscale tenants, might be possessed by a mysterious demonic force.
The elaborate Beaux-Arts building located on the old money Upper East Side of Manhattan called "The Drake" in the series is an actual apartment building, The Ansonia in Upper West Side.
ABC ordered the pilot on January 20, 2012, and it was picked up for a full season of 13 episodes on . It aired on Sunday evenings at 10:00 pm Eastern/9:00 pm Central, with the series Revenge serving as its lead in. On November 16, 2012, after the seventh episode aired, ABC announced that the series had been canceled, but that it would finish its 13-episode run.
On December 21, 2012, after the ninth episode aired, ABC announced that the series had been removed from its schedule, with the remaining four episodes to be burned off in the dead of the summer 2013 schedule. The original time slot was taken by Happy Endings and Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. The final four episodes were first broadcast in Spain, then aired in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, before airing in the United States from June 22 to July 13, 2013.

Episodes
(U.S.) (U.S.) (U.S.)
Do NOT remove the "- Part 1" section of the episode title.
The source specified in "RTitle" is the copyright registration made by Warner Bros., and clearly shows that the episode is OFFICIALLY titled "Lazarus - Part 1". The fact there is no "Part 2" does not change this.
Any attempt to remove "- Part 1" from the episode title WILL be reverted UNLESS the editor can provide an OFFICIAL first-party source that would bring the validity of the copyright registration database into question. Which is essentially impossible to do.

Production
Series star Vanessa Williams stated that she perceives the characters of Gavin and Olivia Doran as a "supernatural" Bernie and Ruth Madoff. "It's a world that I wanted to explore," she said. "It's the Upper East Side. It's luxurious. It's a couple that are very powerful. I thought about the Madoffs immediately because they were extremely wealthy. They had incredible land holdings all over that people knew about and knew that they had a great amount of wealth. And then we all saw the dark side and what happened and how they created their empire."
Hurricane Sandy
When Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in late October 2012, the sets of 666 Park Avenue were damaged.
Criticism
One Million Moms, a Christian activist group known for trying to mobilize conservative women in protest against various media outlets, made 666 Park Avenue a target of its protestation. The organization, having taken exception to the show's use of the mark of the devil and believing that exposure to it was inappropriate, prompted its members to e-mail the sponsors of the network urging them to withdraw revenue from the show.
Cancellation
On November 16, 2012, 666 Park Avenue was canceled by ABC. The network aired the 13 episodes produced, but ultimately decided to pass on the two extra scripts that were ordered. On November 21, 2012, it was announced that producers had been given enough notice of the show's cancellation that they were reworking the final episode to function as a series finale and give the fans closure. However, in the Eastern Time Zone, the finale was not seen in full on ABC, as the network broke into the last few minutes of the series for a bulletin regarding the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman (though it would be seen in full in time zones westward and its streaming venues).
Reception
Metacritic gave it an average score of 62% based on 22 reviews.
