The CW drama "The L.A. Complex" isn’t getting a callback from Canadian broadcaster Bell Media for a third season.
That signals a possible end to the low-rated soap from Epitome Pictures about Canadians chasing the Hollywood dream.
The CW has made no decision on the future of the series on its channel as it holds crunch talks with the Canadian producer, according to sources.
Stephen Sohn, executive producer of Epitome Pictures, said the producer is "still exploring its options for the series," which include "The L.A. Complex" possibly landing on another Canadian network.
Bell Media ordered an initial six one-hours of "The L.A. Complex" and aired the soap on its MuchMusic channel, before The CW acquired the Canadian transplant for its schedule.
The Canadian broadcaster said that the ratings for the second season were well down from the first, leading MuchMusic to decide against a third season order.
"The L.A. Complex" was created and executive produced by Martin Gero, who wrote for HBO’s "Bored to Death" before returning to Canada to write the homegrown drama tailored for the U.S. market.
The series was sold to 170 territories outside Canada.
