"The Nate Berkus Show" will end its run in the spring.
While production on the show's current second season will continue as scheduled, producers Sony Pictures Television and Harpo Studios have opted not to move forward with the daytime talker, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
"After careful consideration, we have decided that The Nate Berkus Show will not return for a third season in the fall," Harpo Studios and Sony Pictures Television said in a joint statement.
"We are grateful for the hard work and heart that Nate, [executive producer] Corin Nelson and their entire team have poured into the show, and we’re very proud of what they’ve delivered."
As first reported by Broadcasting & Cable, "Nate Berkus" has struggled to connect with viewers since its September 2010 bow when it registered a 1.0 rating.
More recently, "Nate Berkus" averaged a 1.1 rating (1.4 million viewers) during the November sweep, making it the 126th-rated syndicated show and the lowest among established talk shows.
One of three spinoffs from "Oprah", "Nate Berkus" is cleared in 95 percent of the country, including NBC-owned stations. The other "Oprah" spinoffs "Dr. Phil" and "Dr. Oz" perform considerably better in comparison.
"I’m incredibly proud of my hard working and talented staff, and proud of the show we were able to produce every day," Berkus said in a statement.
"Nate Berkus", distributed by Sony, will air its final episode in May.
