The Playboy Club was canceled on October 4, 2011, after three episodes aired, due to its low ratings.[8][9][10] It was the first cancellation of the 2011ā12 television season.[8] NBC continued to film the series until October 10, 2011, hoping to sell the series to another network.[11]
When production wrapped on October 10, 2011, Chad Hodge (the show's creator and executive producer) and Benanti both tweeted that they had finished seven episodes, including the pilot.[3] Benanti further stated that the seventh episode has two endings, one of which is more final to the series.[4]
