The CW's Emily Owens, M.D. will not receive a back-nine pickup, as the network has decided to cancel the struggling medical drama.

The CW will still air all 13 episodes of its initial order.

While CW's other new series Arrow and Beauty and the Beast have performed well -- both have received full-season orders -- Emily Owens struggled out of the gate, posting a 0.5 rating with adults 18-49 and the net's targeted adults 18-34 demo on Oct. 16. It's most recent episode on Tuesday drew just a 0.3 in both demos.

The network premieres The Carrie Diaries in January.
