After just two episodes, The CW has pulled the plug on The Beautiful Life, starring Mischa Barton. Perez Hilton reports the drama, produced by Ashton Kutcher, failed to get the ratings needed to keep it on the air.

The show, filmed in New York City, was in the middle of shooting its seventh episode when production was shut down on Friday.

Production for the new CW series The Beautiful Life, starring Mischa Barton has been postponed a week to July 31, reports Reuters. Sources close to the show say the reason for the delay is that some sets were not completed on time.

However, Barton’s recent unspecified “medical issues” have caused speculation that she may be re-cast. Perez Hilton reports a new character will be added to the series, and the actress will play a role strikingly similar to Barton’s character in both looks and personality. There are no reports on who will play the role.

The Beautiful Life is executive produced by Ashton Kutcher and scheduled to premiere September 16. The series is about a group of models living in a co-ed residence in New York. Barton, who has been absent from television screens since her departure from Fox drama The O.C., will play a veteran supermodel struggling to stay on top of the high-fashion circuit.
