ABC Family’s Bunheads will not see a second season. The network has decided to cancel the Lamar Damon-Amy Sherman created series which stars Tony Award winner Sutton Foster.
USA Today reports that prior to today’s announcement, there was speculation that the series would not be returned for a second season. ABC Family has since released an official announcement confirming the shows demise.
"Bunheads is a wonderful series that we are very proud to have aired. The series had amazing storytelling, the most talented cast and a passionate and loyal fan base. Recognizing all of this, we took extra time to try and find ways to bring the series back for another season, but in the end it simply wasn't possible. We wish the cast and crew the best in their future endeavors."
According to E! News, the series centers on Foster, a Las Veags showgirl, who marries a stranger and moves to a small town where she becomes a ballet teacher at her mother-in-laws school.
A drop in viewership is said to have attributed to ABC’s decision to cancel the series. The network also canceled The Lying Game.
