Sarah Paxton Reacts to the Cancellation of Her Show "The Beautiful Life"
Sarah Paxton, star of the recently canceled CW show, The Beautiful Life, told all in a new interview about her reaction to the cancellation, and how she feels they weren't given a real chance to gain an audience.
Check out the interview below:
On how the cast was told the show was canceled:
It’s unbelievable the way that they told us—we were all in the middle of work…And all of a sudden, they got the call, and the producers had to make an announcement on set that we were done—that we were over! And I was sitting there in shock. I couldn’t believe that in the middle of work, the rug was pulled out beneath our feet…Everyone was just devastated. It was horrible. Terrible.
On the lack of marketing for the show:
We were worried because our show didn’t get as much marketing as other shows. Everywhere you go in New York City, you see Melrose Place posters everywhere—I see Vampire Diaries everywhere. And CW, they just didn’t put any money into advertising for our show whatsoever.
On executive producer Ashton Kutcher:
I think he’s just as disappointed as all of us. This had his name on it, and it was his first scripted series. I don’t understand how they’ve given so many shows in the past a chance, and not ours. I mean why ours? Why us? It blows my mind.
On The CW's decision not to air the remaining episodes:
It’s a slap in the face! It’s almost like we were part of this family and now suddenly we’re dropped. And oh my God, episodes three, four and five were going to be amazing. That’s what really sucks. You’ve got to have time to let a show get its legs and find an audience, especially when they’re putting zero dollars into advertising…And if they had just given it more time to really catch a fan base I think it could’ve been huge for the CW. I really think they missed out, and I really think they’re missing out on a huge opportunity for themselves.
