At the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation event held yesterday in Los Angeles, Courtney Cox (I refuse to add Arquette to her name) was asked about the status of Dirt, the F/X series she has starred in for two seasons and twenty total episodes. Matter-of-factly, Cox said: "It just got canceled.” Dirt's second season was drastically reduced due to the writers' strike, finishing with only seven episodes. The cancellation isn't a major surprise. The F/X, known for its cutting edge and critically acclaimed original shows, was bombarded with negative reviews when Dirt hit the air. Courtney Cox, yesterday, did say that she and her husband David Arquette are “developing all kinds of stuff right now. What kind of “stuff” that will be is still a mystery. Speaking of other F/X original series, The Shield has received a premiere date for its final season.

The second season of Dirt concludes tonight following only seven episodes of Hollywood scandals ripped from the headlines. The show has finished the shortened season before the strike began and rather than resuming filming on the remaining episodes of the original 13-episode order, FX has decided to stick with what it's got, even if it means unfinished story arcs.
The series stars Courteney Cox as Lucy Spiller, the unrelenting editor-in-chief of DirtNow tabloid magazine as she exposes the secrets and lies of celebrities with vindictive accuracy. Working alongside Lucy is expert paparazzo Don Konkey (Ian Hart), who uncovers the often repugnant truth behind shining celebrities through his pictures.

FX has announced a premiere date for the second season of Dirt, although the show's sophomore run will be shorter than usual, as they were only able to complete only seven of the 13 episodes due to the writers' strike.
March 2 is the date Dirt fans should mark in their calendars. The show's second season kicks off from that night's 10pm timeslot, and will pick up from where the previous year ended. Last time viewers saw tabloid editor Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox), she was lying unconscious and bloodied after being attacked by fallen actress Julia Mallory (Laura Allen), who blames Lucy for destroying her career with scathing articles on Dirt Now. The assault also has a dire effect on schizophrenic photographer and Lucy's loyal employee Don Konkey (Ian Hart), while reporter Willow (Alexandra Breckenridge) continues her rise at the magazine.
