Drop Dead Diva: Canceled by Lifetime

We tried, Drop Dead Diva fans. But despite the pleas of TV Fanatic and creator Josh Berman, Lifetime has canceled this fun drama after four seasons.

The network made the announcement last night, as the series about a dead model stuck in the body of a larger lawyer made headlines over the years for including such guest stars as Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian. It also possessed one of the more passionate fan bases on television.

But that was not enough to warrant a fifth season, unfortunately.

Sony Pictures TV may still attempt to shop he program elsewhere and we'll keep readers apprised if its status changes.
