"We've mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty's final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell."
So says the ABC network in America that has just issued a joint press release with Ugly Betty's Silvio Horta who has been Ugly Betty's head writer and executive producer.
I can be first to tell you that the 4th and final season of Ugly Betty will start on M-Net in March. Of course the first season just started on SABC3. The 4th season will also no longer have 22 episodes, but just 20.
