Manhattan Love Story is an American romantic comedy television series that was created by Jeff Lowell. He also served as an executive producer alongside Peter Traugott, Robin Schwartz, Rachel Kaplan, and Jon Liebman for ABC Studios. The series debuted ABC on September 30, 2014, airing at 8:30 pm (Eastern). On October 24, 2014, the series was canceled, becoming the first network television cancellation of the fall schedule following modest viewership.
The series aired online in New Zealand on TVNZ's ondemand service from October 1, 2014, prior to an intended airing on TV2 in 2015. Following the series' cancellation by ABC, TVNZ will continue to release the remaining episodes. It was announced on November 25, 2014, that the remaining episodes that were unaired by ABC would be released in the United States on Hulu on a weekly basis beginning on December 2, 2014. However, on December 4, 2014, all seven remaining episodes were released simultaneously on Hulu Plus. Because of this, episodes 10 and 11 were released on Hulu prior to their release on TVNZ OD.
