The Queen Latifah Show news and updates: Sony Pictures has confirmed that The Queen Latifah Show has been cancelled after two seasons on air.
The syndicated daytime talk show made its debut in September 2013 and went on to its second season in September this year. Queen Latifah, or Dana Owens in real life, will stay on to finish the show's remaining episodes, which are scheduled to air until early 2015.
"We want to thank Dana, the producers and the entire staff of The Queen Latifah Show for creating a program that we are all very proud of," Sony said in a statement. "Thank you also to our terrific station partners and advertisers who supported the show."
The Queen Latifah Show won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling, and was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Talk Series.
The versatile 44-year old actress and performer took to her Facebook account to express her sentiments over the show's early cancellation:
"Dear Dana," she writes. "Just a little note to say Thank You...Thank you for your strong work ethic and great effort in getting The Queen Latifah Show off the ground and running. Your dedication and sacrifice was crucial to the entire team, and in the face of intense challenges, you displayed 'True Grit!' Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same."
"You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show," the Oscar nominee continued. "We truly changed people's lives for the better. So... STAY POSITIVE, STAY STRONG, and most importantly, STAY OPEN... There is so much more God has in store! Lovingly, You!"
Addressing her colleagues in the industry, she says, "P.S. This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey. The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome... believe in yourself and continue to fly."
