It was announced today  that HBO has pulled the plug on a third season of Crystal Moselle's TV series BETTY, starring Rachelle Vinberg, Nina Moran, Dede Lovelace, Kabrina Adams,  Ajani Russell,  Alexander Cooper, Katerina Tannenbaum, and others. The show was almost like a continuation of Moselle's film The Skate Kitchen and was a must watch for female skaters everywhere.

No reason was given, but it could have been this season's story lines with their more adult content, failed to pull in enough younger viewers as it had in the previous season. The subject manner this season was more in line to what young women of that age would be going through and some of the sexually explicit and adult subject manner were not meant for the pre-teen crowd. That being said, this is part of what made the show brilliant - it was hitting on topics and moments that most other shows shy away from. 

It's sad that it's gone way too soon.

Want to get over the sadness? 

Watch Crystal Moselle's original film THE SKATE KITCHEN or catch up on both seasons of Betty. And make sure you follow the entire cast on their instagram accounts to see where they end up next. We don't think this is the end by a long shot!
