It's the end of the road for "Chasing Life". ABC Family has opted to cancel the drama after two seasons, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Adapted from the Televisa Spanish-language Mexican television series "Terminales", the series starred Italia Ricci and wrapped its second season Monday.



"With this finale, I wanted to go out as big as possible with as many question marks as possible," showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told THR of the season's cliffhanger ending.

"Any time I ask a question on a show, I typically know what that answer is. There's a lot to explore in season three, like April's emotional state and her big decision to end treatment, there's a lot to explore with Uncle George and the manuscript and the investigation that's now in play, and then a lot to explore with Brenna and Finn now that Greer is moving back to town, and also what happens with Beth. I mean, everyone's life is up in the air right now by the end of the second season."





The cancer drama ended its run with a series-low 486,000 total viewers.

It was produced by BV Family Productions, Lionsgate, Televisa and ABC Family. Exec producers include Smith, Susanna Fogel, Joni Lefkowitz and Aaron Kaplan.
