As they order several new series for fall, FOX has cancelled Alcatraz, reports Deadline. The J.J. Abrams-produced series debuted to decent numbers, but continued to fall most weeks in the ratings - notably falling again the week it aired its season finale (most shows at least receive a finale bump).
It hasn't been all bad news for J.J. Abrams this past week though. FOX has ordered a fifth season of Fringe, while NBC have ordered his new series Revolution, from Supernatural creator Eric Kripke.
The news about Alcatraz comes on a busy day for FOX, as they ordered five new series and renewed Touch for a second season.
This leaves The Finder as the only series FOX has yet to make a decision on, though it's not looking good for the low-rated Bones spinoff.
Update: Alas, there goes The Finder! FOX have cancelled that series as well, says TVLine.
