Has news of Eastwick’s cancellation left you wanting to saw the president of ABC in half? You’re not alone. “I’m pretty furious, too,” vents executive producer Maggie Friedman. “We have such an amazing group of writers and actors — best people I’ve ever worked with. None of us can believe this is really happening.” Adding insult to injury, the network pulled the plug so abruptly that Friedman won’t have a chance to tweak the 13th episode to give fans any of that magical closure stuff. “We’re smack in the middle of several insanely juicy stories,” Friedman sighs. “And so we do not get a chance to wrap things up in a bow. Which is killing me.”

If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the remaining episodes are expected to air as planned. “I believe [ABC] is going to air the rest of our run,” says Friedman, “and I think people should tune in anyway because our best episodes are in there. We were really hitting our stride.

“The magic was getting crazy, the storylines were getting really exciting and sexy and dangerous,” the exec elaborates. “I [just] wish we could’ve given the fans — and ourselves — real closure.”

I didn't love this show, but I liked it enough to watch. I'll miss it.

I think the show was watchable, but didn't like it THAT much. I was much more upset when ABC canceled Pushing Daisies last year.

I think this show is cleverly written, very well acted, and just downright charming. Reports of cancellation and tweets from Ashley Benson reportedly "off to the set" are contradictory, but....

I'm still holding out hope that the fate of the show is still TBD. Announcement now or not, I'll wait til May before I believe, whole-heartedly, that it's been cancelled.

I'm also FLOVING the recent casting of Cybill Shepherd.

Wait rumours? wasn't it officially cancelled?

Dude, keep up... LOL...

I'm not sure if ABC has issued an official announcement, but they did pass on ordering additional episodes.

One of TPTB at the show issued statements to Ausiello, referring to the cancellation.

However, shortly after those were released, Ashley Benson was on her Twitter, talking about how she was headed to the set. (I'm pretty sure production stops when a series is cancelled.) And E! Online was reporting the show was in trouble, but not cancelled.

Just go back and re-read my post. I'm saying......"official announcement" or not, I won't believe, personally, that it is cancelled until the Fall 2010 line-up is released and Eastwick isn't listed. There is simply too much contradiction going on...

Edited original post: sorry; it should've said "reports", not "rumors".

It just depends on what you want to call it, but the show is dead. its not going to have more episodes than what was ordered. Benson and the cast were finishing the final episodes on their original order.

Sometimes when a show is cancelled the show stops production and thats it. However sometimes they finsih the episode they are working on or their original order and then thats it.

Its Cancelled or Not Picked Up. Either way, its done. The only chance it has is that because its not officially cancelled everyone is still under contract so if ABC ends up with nothing to air there they may pick it back up, but thats a slim to none chance.

Im happy ABC is airing the rest of the episodes tho.

Ashley Benson has booked a new show, Pretty Little Liars.

Yeah, I loved this show. I actually found episode 11 online (the one episode ABC skipped!), it was aired internationally. Maybe I can find the series finale, ABC never played episode 13.
