“Caitlyn just wasn’t relatable," claims a production insider for the E! series.
Caitlyn Jenner is still garnering attention, both for her work advocating for the trans community and her controversial support for the Republican Party.
But now comes reports that Jenner’s E! reality series I Am Cait will not be renewed for a third season.
The culprit is a familiar one: Low ratings
“There just weren’t enough viewers,” a production insider reportedly told Radar. “The show can’t compete with other programming.”
The Season Two premiere in March garnered less than 750,000 viewers.
Another complaint, says the source, is that “Caitlyn just wasn’t relatable. Trans viewers did not see her as one of them.”
A spokesperson for E! says “no decision has been made” about the show’s future.
