SWAYZE SHOW CANNED

description

Ailing Patrick Swayze‘s cabler The Beast axed by network, say sources.

Multiple sources are reporting the Patrick Swayze series about a rogue FBI cop in Chicago has been canceled after 13 episodes.

The final installment aired on April 23.

According to Variety, "ratings were soft for the Sony-produced series that got off to a rough start when Swayze was diagnosed with cancer. At the Television Critics Assn. panel for the series in January in which he was supposed to appear and promote the show, he was hospitalized with pneumonia."

Industry pundits speculated the show might be renewed with a new lead –  possibly Lou Diamond Phillips   but Hollywood sources say he was never a contender.
