Confirmed: ABC cancels 'Men In Trees'

ABC dramedy Men in Trees has been cancelled.

Series creator Jenny Bicks confirmed that the network had opted not to renew the show for a third season.

She told TV Guide: "I am really proud of the work we did on MIT. A huge thank you to our supportive fans."

The Anne Heche comedy has averaged just over 6 million viewers for its second season, a drop from the first run's 8 million average. Cable network Lifetime recently declined to take on the series after it was offered up by ABC.

Bicks put the ratings slide down to inconsistent scheduling, saying: "I wish the show had not been moved six times and put on to two long hiatuses. No show could survive that."

She said producers had filmed an alternate series-finale ending which will be added to the the current season's last episode.
