According to Entertainment Weekly, FOX has informed Joss Whedon that they will not be ordering additional episodes of his drama series ‘Dollhouse’ beyond its current 13-episode order.
The struggling drama has been averaging a paltry 3 million viewers this season, down from a mere 4.7 million viewers last season.
“I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star, my staff, my cast, my crew,” said Whedon.
“I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.”
“By the time the last episode airs, you’ll know what my next project is. But for now, there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear. Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again,” added Whedon.
The network still intends to air the remaining episodes from December.
