The Caitlyn Jenner-centered docuseries will not be returning for a third season, Jenner announced Tuesday on Twitter.
Jenner’s announcement comes two weeks after RadarOnline.com reported that the series had been canceled.
An
E! spokesperson issued the following statement: “We are incredibly
proud of the two seasons of I Am Cait, a groundbreaking docu-series that
sparked an important and unprecedented global conversation about
transgender people, their struggles and triumphs. Caitlyn and E! have
mutually decided not to move forward with another season at this time.
She will always remain a part of the E! family, and we look forward to
continue following her journey as she appears on Keeping Up with the
Kardashians.”
I
Am Cait premiered in July 2015 several months after Jenner spoke
publicly for the first time about her transition in an April TV
interview with Diane Sawyer that nabbed 16.9 million viewers. However, I
Am Cait followed to make a big splash when it debuted, attracting just
2.7 million viewers. The second episode fell to 1.3 million viewers.
When the series returned in March for season two, ratings had plummeted to a series low of 745,000 viewers.
