While Empire just scraped a renewal, sort of, with Fox committing to bringing the series back for one last season, its sister series Star had no such luck.

The show, which like Empire was created by Lee Daniels, hasn't enjoyed quite the same success as the older series, pulling in around 3.5m viewers compared to 4.5, but it's actually because of saying farewell to Empire that Star is going.

Fox have stated they wanted to give the long-running musical drama a fitting send-off, and that had to be their priority - with that focus and a schedule change to boot, there was no longer any room for Star at the network.
