"Last Resort" and "666 Park Avenue" have joined the ranks of freshman TV series that have been canceled.
ABC announced Friday it would not be ordering the back nine episodes of the two drama series. Each had an original 13-episode order. That means the shows will, at this time, air out their last episodes and could still be under consideration for next season.
"News is true. No Back 9 for #LastResort," tweeted the series' co-creator/exec producer Shawn Ryan, according to deadline.com.
"We will film and and air all 13 episodes. We're going to give you no-holds barred kick-ass ending… Technically #LastResort isn't cancelled but I understand why some are using the term. Still 6 more eps to air. Miracle unlikely but possible."
Ryan also told fans of the show not to blame ABC.
"For the record ABC was always fantastic with us in every regard. Don't get mad at them. If you'd like to curse out Nielsen viewers though…."
"Last Resort," starring Andrew Braugher and Scott Speedman, and "666 Park Avenue," starring Vanessa Williams and Terry O’Quinn, join CBS' "Partners" on the cancellation list. Repeats of "Two and a Half" men will fill the 7:30 p.m. Monday time slot previously held by "Partners."
Freshman shows already canceled include CBS' "Made in Jersey" and NBC's "Animal Practice."
NBC has ordered an additional four episodes of "Guys With Kids" and ABC has ordered three more scripts for "Malibu Country" starring Oklahoma's Reba McEntire.
