Cane is an American television drama created by Cynthia Cidre, who also serves as executive producer alongside Jonathan Prince, Jimmy Iovine and Polly Anthony. The pilot was directed by Christian Duguay. The show chronicles the lives and internal power struggles of a powerful and wealthy Cuban-American family running an immensely successful rum and sugar cane business in South Florida.
Produced by ABC Studios, CBS Paramount Network Television, El Sendero Productions, Interscope Records and Once A Frog Productions, the series premiered on September 25 2007 airing on Tuesday nights at 10:00/9:00c on CBS, following The Unit.
The series premiere of the show brought in 11 million viewers, the best in its time slot since 1999's Judging Amy.
Because of the recent 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, Cane completed its first season on December 18 2007. Though the show has not been officially cancelled, it is currently unknown whether or not CBS plans to order any additional episodes.
On February 8, 2008 The Los Angeles Times reported the following regarding production and the Writers Strike: "Some struggling shows might not be worth saving. Shelling out millions more for marketing campaigns to try to relaunch an iffy drama could spell sudden death for such programs as NBC's Bionic Woman and CBS' Cane, industry executives predicted."
It was also reported by USA Today that Cane would be "gone for good."
However, on February 14 2008, CBS released a statement declaring that Cane is still on "hiatus to accommodate the mid-season launches of Big Brother, Jericho and Dexter."
Revenge is sweet.
Sugar is the new oil.
