Harry's Law will not see another day in court on NBC.

Series star Kathy Bates confirmed the news on Twitter late Friday, saying "Sad news today. Harry's Law will not be renewed for a 3rd season. We are all terribly sad. Many thanks for all your support."

The legal drama from David E. Kelley averaged just a 1.0 rating with adults 18-49 but its 7.3 million total viewers audience made it the network's most-watched drama, albeit an older, less advertiser-friendly demographic.

Reports Friday also said that NBC had canceled first-year series Awake, Best Friends Forever, Bent and Are You There, Chelsea?, though the network would not confirm the reports. A network spokesperson had also not responded to requests for comment about Harry's Law at presstime.
