ABC Sends HAPPY ENDINGS to Limbo; Series Heading to USA?

ABC may no longer be interested in HAPPY ENDINGS.

Following low ratings and an inability to find an audience in its ever-changing timeslot, reports have run rampant that ABC is seriously considering cancelling its ensemble comedy HAPPY ENDINGS.

However, according to Deadline, a fourth season renewel by ABC won't necessarily mean an end to ENDINGS. The site reports that Sony TV execs have begun reaching out to various networks, including USA and NBC, to gauge interest in a potential continuation of the series elsewhere.

USA, Deadline reports, will become the likely home of Happy Endings should the finances iron out, citing the network's effort to bolster its half-hour comedy lineup.

For more details and the original announcement, head on over to Deadline.

"Happy Endings" is a raucous comedy about six dysfunctional thirtysomething friends living in Chicago. Called "the funniest show on TV" by Associated Press, "Happy Endings" follows the lives of shop owner Alex and her ex-fiance, Dave, an aspiring restaurateur who runs a food truck called "Steak Me Home Tonight"; crazy-in-love husband and wife duo Brad and Jane, who is also Alex's sister; Max, their perpetually Underemployed gay friend, and singleton Penny, always in pursuit of, but never quite finding, the right guy.

"Happy Endings" stars ELIZA COUPE as Jane, Elisha Cuthbert as Alex, Zachary Knighton as Dave, ADAM PALLY as Max, Damon Wayans, Jr. as Brad and Casey Wilson as Penny.

Created by executive producer David Caspe, "Happy Endings" is executive-produced by Jamie Tarses (""Franklin and Bash," "Men at Work"), Jonathan Groff ("How I Met Your Mother"), and Josh Bycel ("Scrubs"). The series is from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios.
