Unfortunately for Betty White, her days of hidden camera pranks are coming to a close.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has decided not to renew White's OFF THEIR ROCKERS for a third season following the second's conclusion on Tuesday night.

The series' first string of episodes, which premiered last spring, did well, consistenly drawing in nearly 5 million viewers. The second season, which began airing in January, has proven less bountiful in the ratings game for NBC. White also managed to score an Emmy nomination as 'Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program' in 2012.

For the original report, head on over to The Hollywood Reporter.

Turning 91 years old in January, 2013, White remains one of the busiest - and funniest - actresses in Hollywood, whose credits range from the classic "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Golden Girls" to her current starring role on "Hot in Cleveland." With a career that has spanned more than 60 years, White has created Unforgettable roles in television and film, authored seven books and won numerous awards, including those for her lifelong work for animal welfare.

"Betty White's Off Their Rockers" is adapted from the hit Belgium series "Benidorm Bastards." The international version of the series has been sold to more than 20 countries and has received many awards worldwide. "Benidorm Bastards" won the 2011 International Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series, and swept the Rose d'Or Awards, winning the Best Comedy Award as well as the Golden Rose for Best Program of the entire competition. In addition, the show won Best Comedy Format at the 2010 FRAPA Format Awards.
