New drama series Terra Nova has been canceled by FOX though the series’ studio, Twentieth Century Fox Television is seeking a new home for the show on another network.  Terra Nova completed its first season with 13 episodes last December.  Despite opening the season with a 3.0 rating among A18-49, Terra Nova finished its run with a 2.2 rating in the demo for its season finale. 

The CW ordered three new reality series for its summer schedule which will join the network’s previously-announced game show Oh Sit!.  The three new series include: The Star Next Door, a music competition series from Queen Latifah and EP Dave Broome that will also feature Gloria Estefan and country singer John Rich as they travel the US as mentors to undiscovered artists; Breaking Pointe goes inside the competitive world of ballet via the Ballet West company in Salt Lake City, Utah; and the third series is The Catalina, centered on the employees and guests at a hotel in Miami’s South Beach.

A fourth season renewal was handed to drama series Justified by FX.  The series will have 13 episodes for the next season.  In its third season, Justified has six episodes left to air with the finale slated for April 10.
