E! Drops Ryan Lochte's Reality Series After One Season

Ryan Lochte has floundered.

According to TV Line, sources have confirmed that E! has cancelled the Olympian's short-lived reality series WHAT WOULD RYAN LOCHTE DO? after a single season. The show, which debuted in April, averaged a meager 440,000 viewers throughout its eight-episode freshman dive. The premiere episode only drew 800,000, while the finale on May 27 scored just over 300,000 viewers.

A representative declined TV Line's request to comment on the cancellation.

The series shone a new light on the superstar swimmer as Lochte's friendships, love life and family dynamic took center stage for all the world to see. WHAT WOULD RYAN LOCHTE DO? followed the gold medalist as he prepared for the Rio games in 2016 while building his fashion line, making buzz-worthy media appearances, dealing with his unconventional family and loyal friends and, always, searching for "the one."
