Earlier this week Whitney Port, who previously starred in MTV‘s hit TV series The Hills before she starred in her own NYC-based spin-off The City, spoke with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS FM here in LA and confessed that she did not believe that The City would live to see another season. Today The Hollywood Reporter is confirming that MTV has officially canceled the series. Despite the fact that MTV did everything they could to send off The Hills, which ended its run earlier this year, with a bang … it looks like The City will just fade away into the land of dunzoness with nary a peep:
After months of speculation, MTV officially announced on Monday that “The City” has been cancelled. “‘The City’ will not be returning to MTV for season three,” an MTV spokesperson tells THR exclusively. “Whitney has been a part of our family for many years and we wish her and the cast the best, and hope to collaborate with them again.” The show’s star, Whitney Port, spoke on air with Ryan Seacrest Monday morning about the fate of the series. “As of right now it doesn’t really look like we’re doing it anymore,” Port said on Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. The spin-off of the network’s wildly popular series, “The Hills,” developed a stable viewership in its two seasons, but failed to perform as well as its juggernaut predecessor. Port’s “Hills” co-star Lauren Conrad announced earlier this month to THR her return to the network and has already begun taping her second MTV series.
And that, folks, is that. While I was marginally entertained by The City, it wasn’t a show that I thought would live very long … turns out, I was right. The last season was interesting only because Elle magazine editor Joe Zee made the show worth watching. I understand Joe managed to get a show of his own away from The City and my guess is that MTV decided to kill the show since they lost the only credible stylista on the series. While news of this cancellation isn’t at all surprising, I guess it is a bit sad. Now that both The Hills and The City are dunzo, it truly feels like that era of MTV programming is now completely over. Trust me, I get that the shows evolved into vapid meaningless over the years but there was a time when those shows, those characters were THE most fun thing to watch on TV. But, all things must come to an end … and it has come for The City.
It won’t be long until we’re mourning the death of Jersey Shore because as popular as the show is right now, it won’t last forever.
UPDATE: Whitney Port says her goodbyes to The City on her official blog HERE.
