It looked like the fate of Jane By Design could go either way but ABC Family has now decided to cancel the TV series. The drama ran for one season of 18 episodes.
Jane By Design tells the tale of a quirky teenager who has a unique fashion sense. She gets hired by chance at a hip fashion house and must learn to juggle her demanding new job while still attending high school. The cast includes Erica Dasher, Andie MacDowell, Rowly Dennis, India de Beaufort, Ser'Darius Blain, Brooke Lyons, Nick Roux, Meagan Tandy, Matthew Atkinson, and David Clayton Rogers.
The ABC Family series premiered in January to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The numbers for week two dropped about 30%. The numbers fluctuated week-to-week but viewership never got that high again.

'Jane By Design' won't return for a second season, ABC Family confirms. It's with much sadness that I report ABC Family has decided not to renew Jane By Design. The decision was announced Aug. 17, on the heels of several other series — Bunheads, Melissa & Joey, Baby Daddy and Switched at Birth — receiving new season and back-order pickups. The show's first season ended with Jane (Erica Dasher) finally getting caught by boss Gray (Andie MacDowell) for being in high school, after spending the series posing as her adult assistant. She had also finally acknowledged her feelings for best-friend Billy (Nick Roux). Several of the shows stars thanked fans for their support over Twitter: "Thank you so much for everything!!!" Jane herself, Erica, tweeted. "It was incredible and you all are the best part of that experience. Love love love" Rowly Dennis, who played hot-shot British design Jeremy, tweeted: "Sorry guys,...

What do You want to see when 'Jane By Design' (hopefully) returns to ABC Family for its second season? It's been seven whole days since Jane By Design aired its summer finale cliffhanger, and although the future of the series — much like Jane's (Erica Dasher) future at Donovan Decker — remains unconfirmed, I'm hearing that a second season is likely. So why not start compiling a wish list of all the things I'd like to see in season two? 1. An available, age-appropriate guy for Jane: I think we can all agree Jane has terrible luck with guys. Between unavailable-best-friend Billy (Nick Roux) and older-co-worker Eli (Bryan Dechart), Jane's love life was pretty much lose-lose at the end of season one. She just needs to find a nice guy her own age so she can finally get her groove back! Perhaps round two with Nick (Matt Atkinson...

The first season of 'Jane By Design' came to a close with surprise twists, new beginnings & one major cliffhanger! (This show Needs a second season.) When Jane By Design creator April Blair told me everything would be "put in jeopardy" for Jane (Erica Dasher) on the July 31 summer finale, I didn't realize what an understatement that really was. While Jane began the hour with a major victory in London, she ended it with a disappointing realization about Billy (Nick Roux) — and a very uncertain future at Donovan Decker! I think the best way to break down the drama is to take things couple by couple, beginning with... Ben & Rita: As promised, Ben (David Clayton Rogers) made his triumphant return home this week, but he didn't just do it for Jane! He also professed his love for Rita (Smith Cho), who returned his affections by interrupting his baseball practice with some intense Pda.

Who will Billy choose? Who's coming back? And who will learn Jane's secret? HollywoodLife.com got all the scoop from creator April Blair! The tables officially turn on the July 31 summer finale of Jane By Design, with Billy (Nick Roux) now having to choose between girlfriend Zoe (Mariah Buzolin) and best-friend Jane (Erica Dasher). But creator April Blair tells HollywoodLife.com that Billy's big decision is just one of many major moments we can anticipate, along with Jane's two worlds colliding to the point where "everything is put in jeopardy." Here's what I learned: 1. Are Eli & Jane officially over? Well, it depends on how you look at it. Yes, Eli (Bryan Dechart) slept with India (India de Beaufort) last week, but April suggests we take a step back and examine both sides of the situation. "Jane and Eli have only been on one date," she explains. "One date and one kiss.

Erica Dasher live-tweeted the 'crisis' before de-stressing the London way: with a cup of tea! Jane By Design stars Erica Dasher and Rowly Dennis were faced with an emergency — and not one of the fashion variety — when a fire forced them to evacuate London's Corinthia Hotel on June 27. "Hotel completely evacuated at 6am," Erica tweeted. "@RowlyDennis acts as hero." But it wasn't long before Jane and Rowly — dressed to the nines in hotel couture — were relaxing over tea, and wishing co-star India de Beaufort a happy birthday. "We cheers to you, little bird!!! :)" Erica tweeted, along with the above photo. Erica and Rowly are currently in London to finish filming Jane By Design's first season — of many, I hope. Rihanna was also reportedly in the hotel at the time of the evacuation. — Andy Swift Follow @AndySwift...

Yes, Jane's long-lost mom is finally back — direct from Wisteria Lane! This may not have been Jane's (Erica Dasher) best birthday ever, but it was definitely the most surprising. Not only did she learn the truth about the Donovan Decker mole on the June 19 episode of Jane By Design, but she also discovered intense new feelings for a certain co-worker. Oh, and did I mention her mom (Teri Hatcher) came back to surprise her? Happy birthday, indeed. Eli (Bryan Dechart) was tasked with distracting Jane while preparations for her office surprise party were underway, but it didn't take long for the line between business and pleasure to blur. I know we're supposed to want Jane to end up with Billy (Nick Roux), but there's no way you can deny the chemistry between Jane and Eli — and apparently neither can Eli. He asked her out on a real date...

Plus, another fan-favorite couple takes a serious hit! Worst Valentine's Day ever. Jane (Erica Dasher) got a taste of fame on the June 12 episode of Jane By Design when she was photographed alongside Donovan Decker's latest high-profile client, but her new celeb status caused major problems for her friendship with Billy (Nick Roux). And while Billy was crushed at first, his budding relationship with new-girl Zoe (Mariah Buzolin) provided just the distraction he needed. Meanwhile, India (India de Beaufort) and Gray (Andie MacDowell) continued to draw their battle lines this week — and they each came prepared with a secret weapon. Gray tried to use India's relationship with Jeremy (Rowly Dennis) to manipulate her, while India used Gray's jealousy of Eli (Bryan Dechart) to manipulate him. India clearly came out the victor of this particular round, as she threatened to expose Jeremy as the mole if he didn't help her take...

ABC Family has another hit on its hands, though it may be diving further and further toward ABC Family (Women), and Jane by Design has opted for the ultra-quick DVD release. Hitting just two weeks after the season finale, the DVD doesn’t offer bonus features, but gives you the chance to jump into the show, in case you didn’t get on board until after everyone was talking about it.
The show, though certainly mainly geared toward a certain age demographic, delivers solid writing, and layered characters. Like many of the shows currently airing on ABC Family, Jane by Design rises above the expectations it likely creates on paper.
16 year-old Jane thinks she’s applying to be an unpaid intern for a fashion powerhouse, but is mistakenly interviewed to be an executive assistant to one of the biggest names in the game, and at an impressive salary to boot.

'Jane By Design' creator April Blair gives HollywoodLife.com a sneak peek at what's to come this summer. Dying to know whether Jane (Erica Dasher) chooses Billy (Nick Roux) or Jeremy (Rowly Dennis) when Jane By Design returns for the second half of its freshman season? You've still got a few months to wait, but creator April Blair tells HollywoodLife.com your patience will reward you -- because there are some major changes ahead. But first thing's first: The next new episodes, which will premiere sometime in June, don't begin right where the spring finale left off. In fact, April tells me the premiere will take place a month or two in the future. "We'll get to see how things have changed for everyone," April teases. "The first episode back is about change, and changes in relationships." Fans of Billy's gravity defying hair can breathe a sigh of relief,...

It's been a memorable first season for Jane Quimby -- full of high drama, high school and high heels. Jane By Design is a light-hearted drama about Jane (Erica Dasher), a teenager who lands a job at Donovan Decker, a hip fashion house, when they mistake her for an adult. Jane soon finds herself juggling life both as a regular high school student and as an assistant to a high powered executive in the cutthroat world of fashion... all while trying to keep her true identity a secret.
Jane By Design also features Nick Roux (Lemonade Mouth) as Billy Nutter, Rowly Dennis (Desperate Housewives) as Jeremy Jones, India de Beaufort (One Tree Hill) as India Jourdain, Meagan Tandy (10 Things I Hate About You) as Lulu Pope, Matthew Atkinson (CSI) as Nick Fadden.

At least, he tries to! What did you think of the episode's epic final moment? The spring finale of Jane By Design was a night of ups and downs for our boy Billy (Nick Roux). It began with him getting bailed out of jail and sentenced to several months at a youth detention facility, but ended with the jaw-dropping confession we've waited 10 long weeks to hear. So are he and Jane (Erica Dasher) going to live happily ever after? Yeah, right. Like it would ever be that easy. Billy's confession -- curiously inspired by his hot-yet-troubled brother Tommy -- was interrupted by Jane's hot-yet-misguided co-worker Jeremy (Rowly Dennis), who was just about tell Jane the same thing before he himself was interrupted by a text message from Gray's (Andie MacDowell) hot-yet-evil ex-husband Beau. Oh, did I mention that Jeremy has been leaking Donovan Decker's designs to Beau this whole time?...

Jane By Design Picked Up for 8 Additional Episodes by ABC Family
The spring finale of ABC Family's Jane By Design, titled "The End of the Line", isn't quite the end of the line for the show, according to Deadline. The freshman drama has been picked up for eight additional episodes, which will premiere sometime this summer. There's no word on an exact date or what the show will be airing alongside, however.
In the finale, the pressure has been ratcheted up on Jane now that Ben has gotten a hint that there's more to this "internship" than he originally thought. Plus, it's Fashion Week and she has more on her plate than ever, considering Grey's growing confidence in her young prodigy. Will this be the moment that her two lives finally become aware of one another? Or can Jane somehow, some way keep her little secret from those closest to her?...

Everyone got what they deserved on the Feb. 21 episode of 'Jane By Design,' and I'm now a proud member of Team Jane. My Jane By Design recaps typically include a list of all the ways that Jane (Erica Dasher) ruined the lives of her friends and family on any given week -- but believe it or not, the Feb. 21 episode actually found our plucky little fashionista using her powers for good. Not only did she bring Nick (Matthew Atkinson) and Billy (Nick Roux) closer together, but she also saved Jeremy's (Rowly Dennis) job! Oh, and did I mention she took down India (India de Beaufort) in the process? When a snooty socialite (Autumn Reeser) demanded that Donovan Decker redesign her wedding dress in 24 hours, Jeremy lost his mind -- and nearly lost his job along with it. But thanks to Jane's brilliant new design idea, the...

Plus, someone at Donovan Decker catches onto Jane's little scheme! Is the jig up already? Jane's (Erica Dasher) two world collided in a big way on the Feb. 7 episode of Jane By Design when India (India de Beaufort) and Jeremy (Rowly Dennis) showed up at her school, determined to figure out her big secret. And while India may remain completely clueless after her little investigation, Jeremy is now all kinds of suspicious. Meanwhile, in an attempt to stop people from judging his unique look, Billy (Nick Roux) ditched his faux-hawk and skinny jeans for a new style that Jane described as "preppy/douchey." As much as I support people expressing themselves through fashion, I really hope he doesn't go back. He looked damn good this week. Speaking of looking damn good, Nick (Matthew Atkinson) finally told Jane that he liked her, sealing the deal with a kiss. As a side note,...

Plus, Jane's going to have to decide: Dream job, or dream guy? Remember last week when I was thrilled that Jane's (Erica Dasher) luck finally ran out on Jane By Design, thereby proving she's really human? Well, her ridiculous luck was back in full swing on the Jan. 24 episode, as she and Jeremy (Rowly Dennis) teamed up to convince the editor in chief of Modern Empress magazine to feature Donovan Decker's design on her next cover. As it turns out, all the Eic really needed in her life was a little fun -- and that fun came in the form of a big, fat cheeseburger. But Jane's calorie-fest wast handsomely interrupted by Nick (Matthew Atkinson), who nearly blew Jane's whole I'm-really-a-high-school-student secret in front of Jeremy. That crisis quickly took a back seat, however, when Jane realized Nick was on a date with some skanky rando.

Every once in a while a television series comes along and whisks you off your feet. Jane By Design is that show. Debuting last week, the show’s premiere episode was charming, adorable and made you wish you were in Jane’s shoes as she landed an executive assistant position at a top ranked fashion design company. It is any 16-year old girl’s dream come true: to get their dream job and a chance at their dream guy too. But in Jane Quimby’s (Erica Dasher) world, you’d have to figure out who exactly is your dream guy as Jane has three potential dream men in her life.

Are you ready for the premiere of Jane By Design, a fun, new quirky drama from ABC Family?
Prior to tonight's series premiere, Erica Dasher - who plays the lead character of Jane - called in for an interview and provided a sneak peek of the season.
The backdrop for the series: Jane loves fashion and convinces her school adviser to allow her to apply for an internship at a fashion house. Due to a mix-up, she is mistakenly hired as the assistant for major executive, Gray (Andie McDowell), instead.
"I live in two different worlds and play two different ages, essentially," Dasher said of the set up.
Jane's dual existence is made possible with the help of her best friend, Billy (Nicholas Roux), while it's also threatened by her brother and guardian, Ben (David Rogers).

Jane By Design: Season 1 Trailer Released
We've all been where Jane By Design's Jane Quimby is at right now. You know, barely making it through a normal day of high school without tearing your hair out, saved only by a few good friends and a promise of better things to come in the future. While the rest of us had to wait until after we graduated to finally become ourselves, it looks like Jane is getting a (very) early start.
In Jane By Design, the title character gets mistakenly hired as an executive assistant at Donovan Decker, a local fashion house that thinks she's an adult. Instead of chucking the $30,000/year starting salary (and access to a innumerable cute clothes), she has to learn how to balance life as a high school student, working woman, and regular girl without anyone finding out otherwise. The only one to know...
