Fox has confirmed that it has no plans to cancel Dollhouse before it airs all thirteen episodes of its second season.

“We’re going to run all the episodes,” Fox scheduling head Preston Beckman told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re not saying we’re happy with those numbers, or accept them, but we don’t have to overreact… We plan on completing the order for this show.”

Meanwhile, Whedon admitted that the 13th episode could serve as a series finale. “We’ll definitely have closure, but will leave some doors open. When we got our first [ratings] numbers, which were bad, the first thing [Fox president] Kevin Reilly said was, ‘You’ll have all 13,’ which was great. They’re not going to pull the rug out from under us.”
