There's major scuttlebutt that an MTV reality series is coming to an abrupt end, as rumors are rife that MTV will pull the plug on "The City" after this season, reports Fashionista.com.

The spinoff from "The Hills,' which airs Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. ET, stars Whitney Port a young designer on the rise. The ratings for the show have not been strong, but many expected MTV to give the show time to grow. Now it looks as though it's coming to a quick end.

"The City's" bright lights are shutting down.
Star Whitney Port confirmed the rumors that "The Hills" spin-off has been canceled.

According to Racked, the 25-year-old fashion designer gave the news to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show Monday morning. "As of right now it doesn't really look like we're doing it anymore," Port said.

She also denied any possibility that the show might move from MTV to another network.

"The City", which debuted in December 2008, followed Port, a friend and co-worker of Lauren Conrad, as she moved from Los Angeles to New York City.

After half a season of low ratings, however, the show was revamped.

Characters were dropped, while new faces were added. The second season focused more on Port's career as a young fashion designer, but did not fare much better in viewership.

"I'm working on some other things," Port told Seacrest. "It's OK -- one door closes and another opens."
