Los Angeles - Jamie Lynn Spears' TV show has been "canned".
The 16-year-old star has already filmed the fourth and final season of kids' show Zoey 101 but now that Jamie has announced she is pregnant, TV bosses are concerned they will send out the wrong message to the young audience if the series is aired.
A show source said: "Nickelodeon bosses are still undecided whether to air season four or not. For now, it looks like it has been canned."
Jamie - who revealed she is expecting her first child with long-term boyfriend Casey Aldridge last month - initially received the full support of the network.
A spokesperson said at the time: "We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's wellbeing."
Nickelodeon also announced they were considering a Zoey 101 TV special about sex and love.
Meanwhile, it has been reported Jamie's former brother-in-law Kevin Federline - who is currently embroiled in a custody battle with her sister Britney Spears - has been offering his support to the teenager in her time of need.
A source said: "Kevin has long thought of Jamie Lynn as a little sister.
"He was heartbroken because he was concerned about what it would mean for Jamie Lynn's future. He just wants to be part of the support system."
