"The L.A. Complex" Not Renewed for Third Season by Canada's MuchMusic Channel

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.

Much Music hasn't been worth watching since the late 80's.

The CW Not Renewing "The L.A. Complex" for Third Season (Exclusive)

This should drain the swimming pool: The CW has decided against ordering a third season of "The L.A. Complex".

A network spokesperson on Thursday said the U.S. network is parting ways with the steamy soap about Canadians chasing the Hollywood dream in Los Angeles.

The decision follows indie producer Epitome Pictures scrambling in recent weeks to keep "The L.A. Complex" alive after Canada’s MuchMusic channel decided not to order a third season.

Losing its key North American distributors could well spell the end of the Canadian series, which was created and executive produced by Martin Gero.

With its miniscule ratings it was lucky to get renewed for a 2nd season, let alone considered for a 3rd.
