Ugly Betty has been canceled by the ABC network and they have confirmed that this fourth season will be the last one of the show. ABC has also trimmed the fourth season down to 20 episodes, when it was scheduled to be 22.

The show has suffered a major drop in ratings in the past while, but the news is still a shock to fans.

Ugly Betty producers do have enough time to write a decent ending however.

Exec producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson confirmed as much in this joint statement: “We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”
