The show, which starred Patrick Swayze as a rogue FBI cop in Chicago, was canceled after 13 episodes. The last episode aired April 23.
The Sony-produced show got on off to rough start when Swayze got diagnosed with with cancer. Due to the actors illness there was talk of bringing in a new actor to replace him. Lou Diamond Phillips appeared in episode No. 7 but nothing ever came from that.
Many of the actors on the show do not know its fate and are trying to decide what they should do as other job offers come in.
Also starring in The Beast are Travis Fimmel, Kevin J. O'Connor, Larry Gilliard Jr. and Lindsay Pulsipher.
UPDATE: (6/4/09 9:45 AM PST) A rep from A&E contacted E! Online and said the report of the show's cancellation was premature.
"This is not accurate," a network spokesperson said. "We have not made a decision yet."

Had a feeling that might happen, Jerry O'Connell would be a better choice to keep this series alive.

I figured this would happen considering Swayze's health.
