'Selfie'
ABC has had enough of Selfie.
The network is not ordering additional episodes of the rookie social media-centered half-hour comedy beyond its initial 13-episode order.
Selfie, which stars Doctor Who's Karen Gillan and John Cho, is currently scheduled to air on Tuesday in its regular 8 p.m. time slot. It remains unclear whether the series from creator Emily Kapnek will remain on the schedule beyond that.
Selfie had a tall mountain to climb from the outset. Expected to open the evening for ABC this fall, the comedy failed to make waves in the ratings, debuting to a mediocre 5.3 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among adults 18-to-49. Selfie shed viewers in subsequent weeks, with ABC doubling up on originals on election night following the quick cancellation of Manhattan Love Story.
