Quote:

The cast of Fox’s Utopia is going to have to return to the real world ahead of schedule. The network has decided to cancel the freshman series, originally announced as a reality experiment that would last a whole year. Instead it survived less than two months, having severely underperformed in the ratings.

Fox will pull the Friday night series from its schedule starting this week. It will be replaced by encore episodes of Masterchef Junior. The show’s online live feeds will also shut down later today, though it’s highly unlikely they will show the cast being informed of the show’s cancellation. The cast is expected to receive post-production counseling before being returned to their regular lives.
Previously Fox had moved the series from its Tuesday night slot to Friday, a night when a lower rating is more survivable. But last Friday’s episode dropped to only 1.6 million viewers and a 0.7 rating among adults 18 to 49.

Utopia stranded a group of strangers in a remote California location to build a more perfect society. It was considered a big gamble for Fox–a pricy stab at a reality concept that largely eschewed the competition elements central to most broadcast network reality hits.

Can't say I'm surprised really, I stopped watching after episode 4.
