Drop Dead Diva on M-Net Series abruptly cancelled after four seasons despite strong viewership.

Drop Dead Diva seen in South Africa on M-Net Series (DStv 114) has abruptly been cancelled after four seasons because the show became too expensive to continue to produce for the Lifetime channel in America.

Deadline first broke the news about the cancellation of Drop Dead Diva which has already ended its fourth season and will end without a proper conclusion for the story of that dead aspiring model trapped in the body of an intelligent, larger-bodied lawyer played by Brooke Elliott.

Drop Dead Diva's viewership was strong. Whether Sony Pictures Television will be able to shop Drop Dead Diva to another TV channel and in that way continue the show for another season remains to be seen.
