“The Real” is over.

After eight seasons on the air, Warner Bros. and Telepictures, who produce and distribute the daytime talk show, have canceled “The Real,” reports Variety.

Co-host Loni Love confirmed the news on social media, blaming it on COVID.

“In my opinion Covid costs killed this show.. it’s been a great ride and thanks to the viewers for 8 great seasons!” she wrote on Friday.

Loni explained that the cast and crew “did everything we could to scale the show down…We shot 7-8 shows in 3 days, no audience, made a conference room into a studio.”

“…it’s been a great ride and thank you to the studio for allowing 8 seasons of show that was Emmy winning and historic,” she continued. “Most importantly, thank you to the viewers for riding with us..this is not goodbye but see you all soon!”

Co-host Gabrielle Beavais also acknowledged the cancelation tweeting: “It [was] a fun ride!! Got to work with an group of amazing women and crew 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽”

“The Real” premiered in 2003 with five co-hosts, Tamera Mowry, Jeannie Mai, Tamar Braxton, Adrienne Bailon and Love.

The series’ first three seasons were pre-taped, but switched to live shows in season 4 to include more audience participation.

The show which was created by “Jersey Shore” executive producer SallyAnn Salsano, used a similar format to “The View” but was aimed at a younger, more diverse audience.

During its run, “The Real” picked up three Daytime Emmy Awards, including outstanding entertainment talk show hosts in 2018.
