FX Cancels 'Terriers'

FX has canceled Shawn Ryan's well-regarded freshman drama Terriers.

The move was a tough one for FX and its president John Landgraf, who has a longtime relationship with Ryan, who created the network's classic genre-pushing drama The Shield. 

Though ratings rose for the Terriers finale, the final hour only delivered 800,000 viewers -- well below the bar for a original drama on the network and about half of the audience that showed up for the series premiere.

Ryan's next project is Fox's cop drama The Chicago Code, which debuts Feb. 7.
