“Monarch,” Fox’s effort to try to create a country version of “Empire,” didn’t stick. The network canceled the family drama after just one season.
The series, which was shot last fall into the winter in Atlanta, was going to be a midseason show replacement but instead was moved to a fall debut after a change in showrunners.
Fox promoted Susan Sarandon as the queen of the country music family, but she ended up only appearing in occasional flashbacks after the first episode.
