ABC announced that Ugly Betty will be canceled after the current season finished in April, according to BBC. The show is in its fourth season.

Executive producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson said in a shared statement that they have, “mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty's final season," BBC reported. "We are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion."

Ugly Betty achieved great success in 2006 when it started, but ratings have since slipped, most notably between this season and the last. The show, which in the past has had around 8 million viewers is now only pulling about 5.3 million according to BBC.

America Ferrera, who plays the title character, won an Emmy in 2007 for best actress in a comedy series for her work on the show, as well as a Golden Globe for best TV comedy actress the same year.
