It’s On with Alexa Chung will not return to the air after its finale on Dec. 17, the network said in a statement Friday.
“Alexa Chung will present the last of her current series, It’s On With Alexa Chung, for MTV America next Thursday 17th December. She and the network have mutually decided to part ways on this project.”
Chung, a British model-turned-presenter, moved to New York City to front the series in June. It’s On, which has been on air for two seasons, was one of the few studio-based, live pop-culture show with music and interviews remaining MTV, which has turned its focus to more reality-based programs in recent years.

“Are you glad that you can now move on now that you’ve done that?” Alexa asked.
“Yeah, and that’s one of the main reasons I did it,” Rihanna explained. “And also to give insight to people who have been through what I have.”
