SOPHOMORE SITCOM TO BE REPLACED WITH SECOND AIRING OF HAPPY ENDINGS

They are water-cooler shows. They’re incredibly well written.” But according to series star Krysten Ritter via twitter: “My beloved fans, sad to confirm that it is true. Don’t Trust the B___ #apt23 has been cancelled. Thank you so much for your support. I love u.”
