US network ABC has announced the popular comedy series’ current fourth season will be its last.

The show, based on a Colombian soap opera, made America Ferrera a star with her lead role as the style-challenged fashion magazine staffer.

“We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion,” executive producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson said in a joint statement.

“We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”

Mark Indelicato, who plays Betty’s nephew, Justin Suarez, said the decision was “sad”.

The 15-year-old said: “It’s been an amazing four years… It’s sad to see this come so unexpectedly but I think that we all recognise the tremendous work that we have done — and am very grateful for that.”
