NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- The CW network says it has canceled the new U.S. dramatic TV series "The Beautiful Life" after only two episodes.
Variety said the CW confirmed Friday that production on the drama, which starred actress Mischa Barton and model Elle MacPherson, was halted in New York after the series' first two episodes garnered unimpressive ratings.
The second episode of "Life" only earned 1.1 million viewers and was beaten out by a rerun of My Network TV's "Magic's Biggest Secrets Revealed."
The failed series will likely be replaced next week by repeats of dramas such as "Melrose Place," unidentified insiders said.
"Life," which followed the lives of several models, was loosely based on the modeling times of actor Ashton Kutcher, whose Katalyst production company produced the show with CBS TV Studios.
Variety said TBS meanwhile has decided to end the run of "The Bill Engvall Show."
