Joss Whedon’s supernatural drama, ‘Dollhouse,’ has been canceled.

The Eliza Dushku series, which was nearly rescued with a second-season pick up in May, had weak fall ratings but good DVR numbers and a loyal following.

The show followed an underground organization that utilized robot-like beings (actual humans implanted with brand new memories) to fight crime and provide alternate realities for customers.

The series finale is tentatively scheduled for January 22.

Whedon has released the following statement:

Hmm.  Apparently my news is not news.

I don’t have a lot to say. I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star, my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.

I’m off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking. Possibly that relaxation thing I’ve read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you’ll know what my next project is. But for now there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear.

Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts.  See you again.  -j.
