It is being reported that Paramount Network has cancelled American Woman after just one season. The news comes two weeks following the dramedy's freshman run, with its episode on August 23 now acting as its series ender.

The half-hour dramedy, which premiered in June with an 11-episode run, featured Alicia Silverstone in her first leading role in a TV series in over a decade. And while it got off to a decent start in the ratings, much of its initial audience did not stick around for the entire season.

American Woman starred Silverstone as Bonnie, an unconventional 1970s mother who learns that her husband has been having an affair. This changes the course of her life, leaving her to raise her daughters on her own. But with help from her two best friends, Bonnie finds a way to get by on her own terms, and the three women discover their own brand of independence during the decade's rise of second-wave feminism.
