Fox Hangs Up Tru Calling Damnit

The Fox network has delayed the premiere of Eliza Dushku's supernatural drama Tru Calling, originally scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 4, until mid-season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The network may also cut its original order of 13 episodes to six, putting the future of the struggling series in doubt.

Last spring, Fox executives said that their decision to bring the show back for a second season demonstrated their willingness to be patient and give shows with potential time to find an audience, the trade paper reported. But budgetary concerns and the popularity of the network's reality programming may have become a factor. The Hawaii-based drama North Shore will now air on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT instead.
