The peacock network has gotten tired of picking up the tab for “three of New York’s most powerful women.” They’re not ordering more episodes of the Lipstick Jungle TV show after two seasons and 20 episodes.
Lipstick Jungle is based on the best-selling book by Sex and the City’s Candace Bushnell and follows the lives of three high-powered friends; former studio president Wendy Healy (Brooke Shields), magazine editor Nico Reilly (Kim Raver), and fashion designer Victory Fords (Lindsay Price). Others castmembers include performers like Paul Blackthorne, Andrew McCarthy, Robert Buckley, Sarah Hyland, David Norona, Dylan Clark Marshall, Seth Kirschner, Matt Lauria, David Alan Basche, and Marcia DeBonis.
The series debuted as a midseason replacement series on February 7, 2008. Despite being part of NBC’s Thursday night line-up, Jungle only attracted 7.54 million viewers and a 2.9/8 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. The rest of the season averaged fewer than six million viewers each week.
Because of the writers strike, only seven episodes were produced. Ratings-challenged NBC decided to take a chance and renewed the show for a second year of 13 episodes, hoping that the numbers would improve.

When Jungle returned for its second season, the ratings were even lower than they were in season one. On Wednesday nights, the show averaged a paltry five million viewers and a 2/5 rating/share. After five weeks, NBC essentially gave up on the series and moved it to Friday nights at 10pm. Much of the Jungle audience didn’t follow and those two episodes have averaged just 3.26 million.
To no surprise, NBC has pulled the plug on the show’s future. The series’ writers actually cleaned out their offices last week. On the positive side, all 13 episodes of this season are being completed and will continue to be shown on Friday nights for the immediate future. Seven have aired, leaving six episodes to go. Because production is so close to wrapping, it’s unlikely that the final episode will conclude the series’ storylines. It’s even more unlikely that NBC would order a third season.
It’s expected that Friday Night Lights will take Jungle’s place in January. Stay tuned!

plz plz plz plz. o am in africa and have watched others like desperate housewives, sex in the city…and absolutely me friends and i love lipstick jungle..i was really looking forward to 3rd season, how dare they take it away from us…the 3 women are absolutely cute and interesting not to mention fascinating.
Please keep the show going, i (like so many others) are desperate to see what happens next. The problem is with the advertising of the show as we never know when its going to be aired (i live in the uk) so i have to wait for the dvd’s to be released.
You cant end the show on session 2, im eager to know whats going to happen next.
What? No 3rd season? Living in central Europe we always get US programs a late. My friends and I got totally hooked on Lipstick Jungle (more so than Desperate Housewives or Sex and the City) and now hear that it’s canceled. If anyone out there reads these messages I think you’d see that there is an audience! Please give us a 3rd season, if for no other reason, than to close all the lose ends!
I am gutted there is not a 3rd season!! ive just finished watching both boxsets on dvd and am addictied!! 🙁 Hope they decide to give it another go !
I am so addicted to this show and cannot believe there till not be a 3rd season!!! I have just finished watching all the episodes on DVD and loved it. I wish they’d bring on more 🙁

After watching both seasons and purchasing them on DVD I am (to say the least) absolutely devastated that NBC have decided not to go with a third season.
