The second season of FX’s Dirt series was cut short due to the writers strike. Only seven of the 13 ordered episodes were produced, with the last one airing on April 13th. Fans wondered if six additional episodes would be filmed for the show’s third year to make up the difference. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing a third season at all.
Over the weekend, Dirt star and executive producer Courteney Cox Arquette told reporters that the series had just been cancelled by FX. She was attending the “A Time for Heroes” Celebrity Carnival, held to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
The cancellation doesn’t come as a total surprise. Dirt’s ratings slipped in season two and the season (now series) finale attracted just over a million viewers. On top of that, castmember Ryan Eggold signed onto the CW’s new 90210 series and Alex Breckenridge’s committed to CBS’ The Ex List series which debuts in the fall.
While it doesn’t look like we’ll see the staff of DirtNow again any time soon, Cox Arquette and hubby David Arquette are continuing to develop new projects together. Stay tuned!

I loved DIRT. I have been looking all over for the new season and just found this site telling me its been cancelled! WHY ON EARTH! It was such a great show. No wonder I hate FX… just looked at its recent lineup… it sucks. No DIRT…. that was the best show on the lineup. I can’t believe it. Cox was incredible…. I loved her character…. I wanted to be like her.
DIRT, WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOW’S ON T.V. AND CABLE!!! THE SHOW HAD MORE OF AND EDGE THEN MY BARBERS STRAIGHT RAZOR. THESE IDIOTS ON FX, AND FOX, NEED TO GET A NORMAL PERSON TO TELL THEM WHATS HOT, AND WHATS NOT. SOME OF THE SHOWS THAT THEY KEEP ON SHOULD BE FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET, AND THE SHOWS THEY CANCEL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE FLAGSHIPS OF THE NETWORK. FX, YOU JUST LOST ANOTHER VIEWER YOU IDIOTS. JOHNNY BLAZE FROM SI NY
Dirt should of never been cancelled!!! What the heck is FX thinking? That was BY FAR one of the best shows i’ve seen in a long time. I’m very disappointed in FX for cancelling the show.
I can not believe that no one(other network) else was able to pick this up. Just cause ratings were down one season doesn’t mean it would not have rallied the next. It sure had me as a loyal watcher along with my freinds. We would call and 3 way through the whole show!!!!!
Why I loved this show been waiting on it to come back on FX You suck
OMG! I have been waiting for this show to come back and just found out it was cancelled! That is ridiculous! All the great shows get cancelled. That was a great show! Great! I loved Courtney Cox’s character. Nothing like I’ve ever seen her play before! She was great! And… so was the rest of the cast!!! If Nip Tuck can make it then so can Dirt! Please bring it back!
This is the reason I don’t want FX Channel. They get a great show and then cancel it. What is wrong with the people at FX. Very dumb!
What the…… I was also waiting for the show to come back and to my surprise it was cancelled. The last time I checked on Nip Tuck it had taken a totally ridiculous turn but somehow continues to run. This is insane! I loved Courtney and loved to hate her character!! … Boo…
This is an outrage I was just thinking the other day when the premeire of Dirrt would be and my husband told me he thought it was cancelled. That is the dumbest thing FX could have done that show was great I couldn’t beleive it when I saw it was actually cancelled!! BRING IT BACK!!!! YOU NEED TO GET YOUR S*** TOGETHER!!!
I loved this show and The Riches. I’m really sad not 1 but 2 of my favorite shows are gone!!! I know it sounds pathetic, but these 2 shows helped me bare the last few weeks of being cooped up in the house after a long winter!
SAVE FX’s Dirt.

I am so sad. I loved this show and wish it would come back. I have watched Cox for ever it seems and love her. She is so talented. This was one of my favorite rolls for her.
