Savannah

Savannah was a WB Network drama television show that was created by Constance M. Burge & produced by Aaron Spelling.

The show premiered on January 21, 1996 and the first two episodes aired as a two-hour Saturday "sneak preview" of the upcoming series and the remaining first season episodes aired on Sunday nights.

During the show's second season, it was moved to Monday nights.

After 2 seasons and 34 episodes, it was cancelled. According to Garth Ancier (president of the WB's entertainment division), he attributed the cancellation to the fact that "serial dramas don't repeat well, making the investment too expensive".

Plot
Set in the southern city of Savannah, Georgia, the series was about three female friends: naive rich girl Reese Burton, noble Lane McKenzie and scheming bad girl Peyton Richards.

Lane left Savannah after graduating from college to become a successful journalist in New York City; she returns for the wedding of her childhood best friend, Reese, who is marrying Travis Peterson (George Eads).

After discovering that her apartment in New York has been burglarized, Lane tries to collect on an inheritance — only to find out that Travis has stolen every last penny of it.

Reese is devastated after finding out that Travis has been having an affair with a girl he calls "Bunny", who is actually Peyton, the daughter of the Burton family maid and Reese's so-called friend. Peyton envies Reese's wealth and is keen to marry for money.

Travis is soon found dead and the first season revolves around the whodunit murder mystery and subsequent court case.
