Having two producing networks in two different countries gives a show double the hope of renewal -- see Cinemax's decision to keep "Hunted" going after it was cancelled in the UK -- but it also gives a show double the chance of heartbreak.

Last month, Canada's MuchMusic decided not to order a third season of the well-regarded Hollywood soap "The L.A. Complex."

But hope still sprung somewhat eternal, since "The L.A. Complex" was a co-production with The CW in its second season.

This week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that The CW will not be ordering a third season either, which isn't rally a surprise given the strikingly anemic ratings for the soap.

Martin Gero confirmed the show's demise on his Twitter feed.
