In Canada, the second season premiered on September 22, 2009.[4] Only 12 episodes were produced for the second season due to budget cuts at the CBC. On May 11, 2010, the CBC announced that Being Erica was renewed for a third season of 13 episodes. Soapnet announced that it was picking up the full third season as well.[5][6] Season 3 debuted on September 21, 2010, at 9 pm ET, on CBC Television.[7] In the United States, Season 3 began airing on Soapnet starting January 26, 2011.[8]
The show's fourth and final season aired from September to December 2011.[9] Although the show was never officially cancelled by the CBC, Sinyor told TV Guide during the fourth season run that the series had reached a natural conclusion and she had "no plans" to write or produce a fifth season.[10]
