The fat lady may not officially be singing, but NBC has made its voice as clear as possible: Smash has been effectively canceled.
The network announced this afternoon that the disappointing drama - which underwent a showrunner and cast reboot prior to Season 2 - will move to Saturday nights at 9, starting on April 6. It will, however, be permitted to finish our its second season run in that time slot.
Along with this burial, NBC also unveiled the following schedule changes:
- Starting on April 14 and running through the end of May, Celebrity Apprentice will expand to two hours.
- The final two episodes of Go On will air at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday April 4 and Thursday, April 11.
- The one-hour season finale of The New Normal will air on April 2.
- Ready for Love will premiere Tuesday, April 9 at 9 p.m., following The Voice.
