The future of "Dance Moms" doesn't look too good.

Following the exit of several original cast members and chief choreographer Abby Lee Miller's pending fraud charges, fans are now speculating that the Lifetime reality series may soon be coming to an end.

GamenGuide suggests that with Miller's elite dancers walking out and the possibility of a prison sentence looming in the "Dance Moms" star's future, the end of season 6 could mark the end of the entire series.

According to Blasting News, Miller's current bankruptcy fraud case, for which she is facing a hefty fine and jail time, is being compounded by an earlier fraud charge. The outlet notes that before Miller pled guilty to bankruptcy fraud in June, she had also pled guilty to a $5,000,000 fraud charge back in October 2015.

Blasting News says that because Miller's second fraud charge occurred less than a year after her first fraud charge, the "Dance Moms" star could be charged with a prison sentence of up to 30 months, depending on what her judge deems is a suitable punishment for her alleged crimes.

Miller pled guilty to bankruptcy fraud this year after she was accused of attempting to hide her true income from "Dance Moms." She also pled guilty to one count of structuring international monetary transactions after failing to declare the thousands of Australian dollars she brought into the U.S. in 2014.

The dance coach is alleged to have brought in more than $10,000 in August 2014 without the required reporting.

Miller was recently granted another delay on her sentencing for the fraud charges. The original court date of Oct. 11 was moved to Dec. 2. She reportedly faces 20 counts of fraud and another charge for her 2014 currency reporting violation.

Should Miller be sentenced to 30 months in prison during her December sentencing date, "Dance Moms" fans assume that Miller's studio will be temporarily closed and the series will have to come to an end.

"Dance Moms" season 6 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on Lifetime.
