NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Caption Eliza Dushku strikes a pose at the Breeders’ Cup Winners Circle event in Los Angeles on November 5, 2009“Dollhouse” will soon be going out of business.

The Joss Whedon fantasy drama ends after its current 13-episode order, with the series finale scheduled to air Jan. 22, according to a person familiar with the show who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss it.
