The project was picked up to series in April by the pay cabler.
HBO is pulling the plug on its upcoming Lorne Michaels project.
The pay cabler is no longer moving forward with the comedy series Brothers in Atlanta, which was exec produced by the SNL veteran, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Brothers in Atlanta hailed from Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin, who were set to write, executive produce and star in the show. The series centered on struggling entertainers and best friends Langston and Moose trying to navigate life in the black Mecca of Atlanta.
“After assessing our programming needs we talked to Bashir and Diallo and decided moving forward didn’t make sense for us at the time," HBO said in a statement. "We feel they are immensely talented and we hope to work with them in the future.”
