Page Six reports that the OWN network will soon give Lindsey Lohan the boot. The rehab-to-recovery docu-series didn’t live up to the hype according to Oprah Winfrey. Therefore, “Lindsey” has to go.

 

Although it was originally commissioned for a single run, Lohan, 27, was supposedly given options for follow-up programming based on the show’s success. But due to the recent dip in ratings — the April 9 episode which aired from 10 to 11 p.m. averaged a mere 390,000 viewers, down from 603,000 viewers the week before — no new episodes will be ordered.

 

“Oprah will tell Lindsay later this month that her show won’t be reappearing in the future,” a source told the Mail. “First and foremost, the ratings were an absolute disaster. It didn’t pull in the viewers that Oprah had hoped for.”

 

“OWN saw the Lindsay show as a possible long term hit series. And Oprah was hoping that it would chart her time from coming out of rehab to making it back into the A-list movie ranks,” the source added.
