“Page Six TV” has been canceled after two seasons, Variety has learned.

The syndicated daily television show was modeled after the New York Post’s Page Six news and gossip section, and provided entertainment industry updates, exclusive first-looks and insight from the New York Post newsroom.

During its second season, the show was co-hosted by Bevy Smith, Variety‘s Elizabeth Wagmeister, and New York Post Page Six senior reporter Carlos Greer, after original host John Fugelsang departed the series in March, 2018.

The show hailed from the Post, Endemol Shine North America and Fox Television Stations.

Kay O’Connell and Michael Bachmann served as executive producers on the show, alongside New York Post Publisher and CEO Jesse Angelo. Michael Weinberg served as executive producer from the Endemol Shine North America end, and Kathleen Rajsp was also on board as a co-executive producer.

“Page Six TV” is ending after just two seasons, a person with knowledge of production has told TheWrap. Production will continue through the summer, however.

Bevy Smith, Elizabeth Wagmeister and Carlos Greer are co-hosts on the half-hour series. The trio was previously referred to as “insiders” over the syndicated show’s initial run, but they were promoted when Season 1 host John Fugelsang departed.

Kay O’Connell, Michael Bachmann, Jesse Angelo and Michael Weinberg are executive producers on the entertainment and pop culture news series, which is produced by Endemol Shine North America and distributed by Twentieth Television.

Kathleen Rajsp is co-executive producer.

Page Six TV, the half-hour daily syndicated program focused on pop culture, has upped Bevy Smith, Elizabeth Wagmeister and Carlos Greer to co-hosts for the show’s upcoming second season.

When Page Six TV launched last fall with the Fox O&Os as a core station group, it featured John Fugelsang as host and Smith, Wagmeister and Greer as a panel of “insiders.” After the series was renewed for a second season in January by the Fox station group, it was announced that Fugelsang would not be coming back. Over the past few months, the show tested various guest hosts. It scored best with episodes featuring only Smith, Wagmeister and Greer, which led to the decision to make them co-hosts. The setup of the program is expected to be tweaked, with the trio sitting instead of standing. Page Six Editor Emily Smith and Deputy Editor Ian Mohr will continue as contributors.
