Shahs of Sunset has been canceled, as TMZ reported.

Production sources told the outlet that the long-running Bravo show “simply ran its course after first airing in March 2012 … and a decision has been made to end it.”

However, their sources said some famous faces of the show, may have a second chance at TV success.

Stars including Reza Farahan, Mercedes “MJ” Javid and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi — “are all in early talks for potential future projects with the network,” per TMZ.

“Absolutely loved the first few seasons of Shahs, but the last season was overproduced and friendships don’t seem genuine anymore,” one fan lamented on Twitter.

“Well, I’m not surprised by this if it is true. It’s been quite dark the past few seasons,” wrote a second.

While a third wrote: “Will miss it.”

MIKE’S ARREST

One person seemingly not in those talks is Mike, who was arrested & jailed for domestic violence last week.

The March 27 incident was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department on Monday.

Mike was reportedly arrested for “intimate partner violence with injury,” which is a legal term meaning there was “visible injury” on the victim, according to the LAPD public information officer.

Police were called at approximately 10 pm for an “unknown” situation leading to the Bravo star’s detainment.

According to court records, he was booked at 1:05 pm the following morning and charged with corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant.

The 43-year-old made bail of $50,000 and was released at 6:35 am. He is due back in court on July 25.

Mike’s attorney, Alex Kessel, told Page Six his client denies all the allegations.

No additional information on the victim was provided and shortly after his arrest, the TV star deleted his Instagram account.

The move came after he admitted to sexting women behind his fiancé Paulina Ben-Cohen’s back.

SHADY SHAH

The TV personality had previously denied the allegations and claimed his phone has been hacked.

Mike then told E! News: “It was a dark time. We were going through COVID, being on lockdown, and I let the anxiousness of going through that and just being bored allow me to do things I shouldn’t have done.

“Looking back, I feel really stupid for allowing myself to engage in that conversation, even though those text messages were for a few hours and one day that those messages happened, reliving it now feels like…like it was going on for a long period of time.

“It just hurt her, it hurt me, it was a learning experience and I realize that I shouldn’t do that. I’m glad we got past it and are in a much better place now.”

Mike also revealed to his co-stars he hadn’t been “honest” and seemingly admitted to the sexts on a recent episode of the show.

Mike and Paulina officially announced their engagement during the show’s Season 9 reunion special in August 2021.
