Caitlyn Jenner Confirms I Am Cait Cancellation
Posted on Tue Aug 16th, 2016 12:40pm PDT By X17 Staff
Caitlyn Jenner has just confirmed that her E! show I Am Cait has been canceled after just two seasons.
The Olympian took to Twitter on Tuesday to confirm the news, "After 2 amazing seasons of @IAmCait, it's time for the next adventure. Thank you E! & thank you to the best girlfriends I could ask for!"
There were reports earlier this month that the show had been axed, but just yesterday E! denied that the show had been cancelled. A spokesman for the network denied the claims and told LGBTQ Nation, that “no decision has been made†about the future of the reality series. However, Caitlyn's tweet today has confirmed the rumor.
If Caitlyn were competing with ex Kris Jenner, she'd definitely be losing -- Keeping Up With The Kardashians is still going strong after 12 seasons.
“There just weren’t enough viewers,†a production insider told Radar. “The show can’t compete with other programming.â€
The source also said that another reason that the show was cancelled was that the transgender community did not embrace Jenner as producers had hoped.
“Caitlyn just wasn't relatable,†the source said. “Trans viewers did not see her as one of them.â€
Also let's get real -- I Am Cait was plain old boring!
After 2 amazing seasons of @IAmCait, it's time for the next adventure. Thank you E! & thank you to the best girlfriends I could ask for!
