The CW Cancels Kutcher’s Beautiful Life

The CW has canceled The Beautiful Life, making it this fall’s first cancellation. Production on the show, which had been filming its seventh episode, was shut down Friday. The Beautiful Life has been pulled off the schedule effective immediately and will be replaced by repeats of Melrose Place, starting next week.

The show, which launched with a racy marketing campaign, starred Mischa Barton, Corbin Bleu, Benjamin Hollingswoth, Nico Tortorella, Ashley Madekwe, Elle MacPherson and Sara Paxton.

The Beautiful Life came from Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst shingle and was loosely based on Kutcher’s experiences as a young male model. Kutcher executive produced with Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke and Mike Kelley.
