ABC Cancels ‘Ugly Betty’

We’ve just heard that ABC executives have told “Ugly Betty” to hang up the poncho!

The network has just announced today that they are ending the series after the fourth season is complete, meaning that there isn’t going to be a fifth season of the once popular show/

To add insult to injury, the network has also cut back on the amount of episodes for the current season, from 22 to 20.

The network does have time to think up how they want to end the series, however. According to Executive Producer Silvio Horta and ABC President Steve McPherson confirmed this in a statement:

“Weâ€™ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Bettyâ€™s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.â€

So sad for them. At least they can go out on a high note! How would you like the series to end?
