It looked like the fate of Jane By Design could go either way but ABC Family has now decided to cancel the TV series. The drama ran for one season of 18 episodes.
Jane By Design tells the tale of a quirky teenager who has a unique fashion sense. She gets hired by chance at a hip fashion house and must learn to juggle her demanding new job while still attending high school. The cast includes Erica Dasher, Andie MacDowell, Rowly Dennis, India de Beaufort, Ser’Darius Blain, Brooke Lyons, Nick Roux, Meagan Tandy, Matthew Atkinson, and David Clayton Rogers.
The ABC Family series premiered in January to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The numbers for week two dropped about 30%. The numbers fluctuated week-to-week but viewership never got that high again.
ABC Family initially ordered 10 installments and those finished airing on March 6th. Rather than renew Jane By Design for a second season, the cable channel ordered eight more installments to be added to season one.
The first season ended up averaging 1.29 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating. Jane By Design ended up being the lowest-rated drama of the current crop. and fans understandably became nervous when the finale aired in late July and a renewal hadn’t materialized. We now know it won’t be forthcoming.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Jane By Design has been cancelled? What were you hoping to see in season two?
Jane by design is my absolute favorite show!!! I think abc family was wrong for canceling it… It was such an original idea un like any other show.. I think you should atleast put up season two so we can see what happens with all of our favorite characters … N e bad chocie this was a good show and it really dosent deserve to be canceled
i luvd dis sho i connected wit jane billy and the rest of the cast im so mad
My 14-year-old sister and I are SOOOOOO dissapointed!!! This was such a great show with cute guys and good kids. And of course the best thing-fashion! And NO sex garbage! Maybe that’s why it got cancelled. Our society is so screwed there has to be that kind of crap in there to get good ratings. >:( It was so good and it will be missed. Being 16, I WANT good, clean girly shows! sigh. I THOUGHT my search was over. We’ll miss you Jane! (and Jeremy) 😉
Its my favorite show. I really conected with it and now my heart is broken to know I wont be able to see what happens with Billy and Jane.
The cast and makers did such a great job on this show. It’s a shame it was cancelled. The audience at least deserves an ENDING! Geez..!
I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, there isn’t too many shows today made for teens that isn’t about sex. This was a funny, corky, interesting show that I actually could sit down and watch with my daughter without worry of teens having sex constantly or drinking and doing drugs.
I agree 🙂 such a shame that they always cancel the shows with integrity and morales.
Thanks abc family. Now I will never know what happens. I NEED SOME CLOSURE.
