In this image released by ABC, America Ferrera is shown as Betty Suarez in the comedy series "Ugly Betty."
A critical and popular success with its premiere in fall 2006, Ugly Betty has struggled in recent years with audience erosion.
Based on a Colombian telenovela, the warmhearted dramedy stars America Ferrera as an ambitious but style-challenged young woman out to build a future at a New York fashion magazine.
ABC is promising that the series will conclude its run in a fashion that will satisfy its fans. ABC says eight episodes are left. The series has been saluted with Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody awards, among others.
