NEW YORK (AP) - ABC's Private Practice is shutting down.
ABC Entertainment spokesman Alison Rou said Monday that the Grey's Anatomy spinoff will be ending after 13 episodes this season, most likely in January. Series star Kate Walsh had previously announced she would be leaving after 13 episodes.
This is its sixth season on the air. After being paired on ABC's schedule with Grey's Anatomy on Thursday nights, Private Practice moved last spring to Tuesdays.
Private Practice had 6 million viewers last week, ranking it No. 51 in Nielsen's weekly listing of the most popular programmes.
