Just days after family and friends paid their last respects to castmate Shain Gandee in a “Just Buck It” style funeral service, MTV is announcing that their hit show, Buckwild, won’t be making a return.

The network is pulling the plug on the reality television hit that featured the lives of young people living in rural West Virginia.

According to TMZ:

Sources connected to the show tell us MTV decided to stop production in the middle of the second season of the show … which followed the lives of young people in a rural West Virginia town.

We’re told MTV didn’t give the cast and crew any specific reason for the cancellation. An official announcement is expected Wednesday morning.

According to our sources, 4 episodes of Season 2 were shot, but will not air — however, a special that was taped 2 months ago is expected to air.

Producer J.P. Williams says that he’s angered by the cancellation, pointing out, “This is the network that has shows about teen pregnancy.”

“They’ll stick by a show that allows you to abandon a child,” he says, ”but a kid dies by accident doing what he does for a living [mudding] and they cancel the show?”

“There’s something that smells of sh*t here on every level,” complains Williams.

Gandee’s tragic death wasn’t the only hiccup that hindered production of the show. Both Salwa Amin and Michael Burford were arrested for drug possession and a DUI.

MTV has not made any further comments regarding their decision.

We’re going to miss both crazy Gandee and Buckwild! May they both rest in peace.
