Fox has decided to cancel the Octavia Spencer-led Red Band Society following low ratings.
The freshman show premiered on Fox as part of their new slate of programming in the fall, but it ultimately never found a large base of viewers. The show began with just over 4 million viewers for its premiere episode, and its most recent episode pulled in 3 million.
Red Band Society has been pulled from the schedule and will halt production after 13 episodes, according to TV Line. This essentially leaves the show canceled.
Episode 9 of Red Band Society airs tonight on Fox. In fact, the show is airing on the east coast as we write this.
The next episode will air as scheduled on December 3, but at this time Fox has not decided where the final three episodes they’re shooting will go.
Fox could decide to release the remaining three episodes on their website or through Hulu, like ABC did with the remaining episodes of the now-canceled freshman comedy Selfie.
Red Band Society was one of the shows that many believed would be canceled due to low ratings. Other new shows canceled so far include the A to Z, Bad Judge, and the aforementioned Selfie.
