Freshman series "Benders" is not getting a second season after IFC decided not to move forward with the hockey comedy, which debuted this October and starred Andrew Schulz, Lindsey Broad and Chris Distefano.
The show joins David Krumholtz's "Gigi Does It" which was cancelled by the network earlier this month. Both series struggled in ratings, with most episodes of "Benders" watched by about 80,000 people, reported Ace Showbiz.
Created by Tom Sellitti and Jim Serpico, "Benders" centered on a group of hockey-obsessed friends from Apostle whose lives revolve around their team The Chubbys. Its eighth and final episode aired November 19.
After cancelling two of its first-year series, IFC will bring back "Portlandia" and "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" in January.
The comedy series "Maron" will also return to the network for a fourth season in the spring.
