The Nine, (or Nine) is an American television serial drama that premiered October 4, 2006, on ABC, in the 10 o'clock (Eastern Standard Time zone) slot after Lost. In Canada, the series debuted on CTV on October 10; in the UK, the show was picked up by Five, to begin airing in 2007.

However, as of late November, 2006, ABC took The Nine off its schedule. As of March 2007, ABC has announced that while airing the rest of the 13-episode season was a possiblity around April, the show has been offically cancelled. This was because of poor ratings, which would mean that there will be no second season. ^[1]

[edit] Plot summary

Nine people, mostly strangers to each other, are linked together when they are held hostage in a bank robbery gone wrong. In each episode, viewers learn new details of the 52 hour standoff, of which only brief snippets are seen.

The Pilot episode establishes the events which the rest of the series will embellish. Two men enter the bank, armed, and quickly restrain both the security guard and an off duty police officer. Viewers see details of what brought each person to the bank that day.

Some time after the end of the standoff, the former hostages arrange a meeting with one another in an effort to stay in touch and help each other. Various characters also form relationships apart from the group and maintain regular contact with each other during the week, while others are connected through relationships that predate the events in the bank.
