Next week will be crucial for ABC’s new drama Pan Am. ABC is expected to decide whether to pick up additional episodes from the 1960s airline soap/spy drama (the network gave the show an order for 5 scripts last week), and Pan Am will have its highest-profile oversees debut on BBC2.
So far, the ABC/Sony Pictures TV drama is off to a solid start internationally, performing stronger abroad than it has in the U.S.
Pan Am, which has been sold in 107 countries, has launched in 6 of them so far. Ratings for 5 – Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Norway and Spain — has come in, and in all but one, Pan Am was the most watched new U.S. drama premiere this fall. (In Spain, it was second to Person Of Interest.) In Sweden, Pan Am ranked as the country’s No.1 foreign series premiere ever. In Norway, it was the second highest-rated debut for a foreign series behind Prison Break. Now if only Pan Am producers could slip Nielsen boxes to those Scandinavian families…
I think the blonde girl Laura (Margot Robbie) is the star of the show. It's been a long time since I saw someone that beautiful on a TV show. She truly looks like an old movie star.
I love her so much. She used to be on Neighbours (and Austalian soap opera) and she was always my favourite character. I hope her career keeps getting better and better!
I'm only onto the second episode. I was kinda hoping that it would be brought to the UK, but looking at the ratings it's starting to look unlikely.

The last episode was soooooooooooooo good!
The story was so intense, I like how they reminded people that air travel is all glam and luxe but it is also extremely dangerous.
I also love hearing Colette speaking French, she has become my favourite character
I really love this show, we look after Annie Wallis so I get scripts to read, it would be a shame if they don't let it run long enough to bed in with an audience. On a side note I'd love to see them have Frank Abagnale pop up on one of the flights as a deadhead, that would be fantastic.
Sorry, my bad, I read a few posts on tumblr that said it had been cancelled. But Karine, the girl who plays Collette, tweeted that no official confirmation has been made yet. So we'll see...

^ I read that the network has ordered another episode for the series, which actually makes me think it will be cancelled because then they can tie off all the loose plot lines
