Caitlyn Jenner's "I am Cait" canceled after two seasons

There won't be a third season for "I am Cait."

After two seasons, E! has pulled the plug on reality series that chronicled the life of Olympian Caitlyn Jenner following her coming out as transgender.

"We are incredibly proud of the two seasons of 'I Am Cait,' a groundbreaking docu-series that sparked an important and unprecedented global conversation about transgender people, their struggles and triumphs," a statement from the network read Tuesday.

"Caitlyn and E! have mutually decided not to move forward with another season at this time. She will always remain a part of the E! family, and we look forward to continue following her journey as she appears on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'"

The "I am Cait" debut in July 2015 was watched by 2.7 million viewers -- E!'s largest premiere audience in four years -- and the series returned this past spring. It received an Outstanding Reality Program award from GLAAD earlier this year. But the series' ratings continued to drop over the course of its run.
