Life Unexpected: DVD Release Confirms TV Show Cancellation.

It’s a life cut short somewhat unexpectedly.

Though the CW's “Life Unexpected” hasn’t officially been canceled, creator Liz Tigelaar isn't too optmisitc about the fate of the show given the network's decision not to order the remaining back nine episodes needed for a full season.

She's fashioned an ending to the sophomore series about two unlikely parents (Shiri Appleby as Cate and Kristoffer Polaha as Baze) whose lives get turned upside down when their teenage daughter (Britt Robertson as Lux) re-enters their lives.

The two-hour finale airs Tuesday and Tigelaar is confident it will leave fans of the show feeling content.

Tigelaar spoke to ShowTracker about the show, the idea of taking it to another network and tying up loose ends.

'Life Unexpected' executive producer Liz Tigelaar confirmed the news on Facebook. "Hey peeps. It's true, it's real, no back nine," she wrote. "But stranger things have happened when people are invested. So keep watching. We still have half a GREAT season to show you and who knows!!!" [sic]


Fans hoping for a satisfying finale may not get their wish. 'Tigelaar told Zap2It that while season 1 had a set arc, season 2 is much more open.

"If we don't get picked up, I don't anticipate being able to wrap up these stories quickly," she told Zap2It. "I'll hopefully be able to do a satisfying last episode, but it's not going to be where everything wraps up like a series finale. There's no two endings for Episode 13 in case [we don't get picked up]. We barely have time to shoot one ending!"
I am sorry to see the show go. I thought it was a good show with wonderful characters, but it received almost no support from the CW. None of the networks are willing to give a show the opportunity to grow an audience. This is another good show that was allowed to fail.
