ABC's "Ugly Betty" is done! The show will close its doors this May
with a series finale, the network confirmed on Wednesday. The
decision to end the series was announced to "Ugly Betty's" cast and
crew this morning. The show still has four episodes left to produce
this season -- and series exec producer Silvio Horta now plans to use
that opportunity to tie up loose ends and wrap things up. Horta
announced:
"We've mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly
Betty'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."
The decision to end "Ugly Betty's" run doesn't come as a huge
surprise; the show narrowly avoided cancellation last year -- but was
moved from its longtime Thursday home to a rough Friday night spot
this fall. More recently, the show has joined ABC's hot Wednesday
night lineup, appearing earlier this month in the 10 p.m. slot.
