Fox has reportedly cancelled Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. Earlier today, the network announced that it would not be ordering further episodes from the second season of the struggling sci-fi series, but insisted that the show’s fate would be decided next year.

However, subsequent reports suggest that Whedon has been told that the 13th installment, scheduled to air Friday, January 22, will now serve as the series finale and as previously confirmed, Dollhouse will return Friday, December 4, with the remaining episodes airing back-to-back.

Joss Whedon has spoken out about Fox’s decision to axe Dollhouse on his blog:

“I don’t have a lot to say,” Whedon wrote. “I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star (Eliza Dushku), my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.”

Whedon also addressed his plans.

“I’m off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking,” he wrote. “Possibly that relaxation thing I’ve read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you’ll know what my next project is. But for now there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear.”

“Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again.”
