There was no miracle for TBS‘ last remaining live-action comedy series.  To no surprise, the cable channel has cancelled the Miracle Workers series, so it won’t be back for a fifth season. The fourth season aired over five weeks during the summer.

The fourth season of the Miracle Workers comedy anthology series stars Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Karan Soni, and Jon Bass. Guest stars include Quinta Brunson, Garcelle Beauvais, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Lolly Adefope, Paul F. Tompkins, and Lisa Loeb. Simon Rich created the show. Subtitled End Times, season four is set in a post-apocalyptic future. The story follows a wasteland road warrior named Sid (Radcliffe) and a ruthless warlord named Freya (Viswanathan) as they face the most dystopian nightmare: settling down for a more normal life in the suburbs. Together they navigate the existential horrors of married life and small-town living, all under the dubious guidance of a wealthy junk trader (Buscemi).

Airing on Monday nights, the fourth season of Miracle Workers averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 409,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 55% in the demo and down by 40% in viewership.

American Dad! is currently airing its 18th season. The animated comedy has already been renewed for a 19th year and is TBS’ last remaining original scripted comedy series.

The Ride TV series won’t be back for another round. The show has been cancelled, so there won’t be a second season on Hallmark Channel. The first season of 10 episodes finished airing in May.

A family drama series, the Ride TV show stars Nancy Travis, Tiera Skovbye, Beau Mirchoff, Sara Garcia, Jake Foy, and Tyler Jacob Moore. In the story, Isabel McMurray (Travis) is the matriarch of a small-town ranching family that goes back a generation. After losing her husband years ago, Isabel has resiliently kept the ranch afloat and single-handedly raised their three sons — illustrious champion Austin (Marcus Rosner), servicemember Cash (Mirchoff), and ever-dependable Tuff (Foy). Over the years, the family has grown to include Austin’s talented wife, Missy (Skovbye), and Valeria (Garcia), a one-time runaway the family had taken in. One day, just as Cash has returned home, tragedy strikes. A year later, as the McMurrays continue to grieve their loss, the fate of their ranch is uncertain. Then, the family faces an opportunity that could decide the fate of the ranch and their future.

Airing on Sunday nights, the first season of Ride averaged a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.04 million viewers. Of the three current scripted series on Hallmark, Ride was in third place.

Reportedly, the cable channel has quietly decided against ordering a second season, likely because of low viewership.

The CW seems to have run out of patience and cancelled two of its imported Thursday night comedies.  Effective immediately, the Run the Burbs (season two) and Everyone Else Burns (season one) series have been pulled from the network’s schedule.

A Canadian family comedy series, the Run the Burbs TV show was created by Andrew Phung and Scott Townend. It stars Phung, Rakhee Morzaria, Zoriah Wong, Roman Pesino, Gavin Crawford, and Sharji Rasool. The story follows the Phams, a young and bold Vietnamese-South Asian family. They take a different approach to living life to the fullest while residing in the suburbs of the fictional city of Rockridge.

The second season of Run the Burbs averages a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 203,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s up by 1% in the demo and down by 11% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

A British coming-of-age comedy series, the Everyone Else Burns TV show stars Simon Bird, Kate O’Flynn, Amy James-Kelly, Harry Connor, and Morgana Robinson. The story follows the Lewis family, a strictly religious family from Manchester, England. They are part of a puritanical Christian sect and believe the world will end within the decade.

The first season of Everyone Else Burns averages a 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 171,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

The series are two of The CW’s lowest-rated series, so it’s not a shock that they’ve both been pulled. What is surprising is that both were already picked up for additional seasons.

While the network has not commented on the cancellations of future airings, it seems highly unlikely that additional episodes of Run the Burbs or Everyone Else Burns will be airing on the network. In the past, The CW has released unaired episodes of pulled shows via the network’s app and site.

Moving forward, the comedies will be replaced by reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and The Great American Joke Off. on Thursday nights.

The Circus is ending with its current eighth season. Showtime has announced that the 130th and final episode of the political docuseries series will be released on Sunday.

Hosted by John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, and Jennifer Palmieri, the series premiered in 2016, and it takes viewers inside the world of politics to go beyond the headlines.

Showtime revealed more about the series ending in a press release.

After eight seasons and 130 episodes, the groundbreaking, four-time Emmy^® nominated political docuseries THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH – hosted by John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, and Jennifer Palmieri – concludes with a series finale episode on Sunday, November 12 at 7 P.M. ET/PT streaming on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan and on SHOWTIME linear.

Since the historic 2016 presidential race, THE CIRCUS has brought viewers behind-the-scenes and beyond the headlines of the nation’s biggest political stories inside the Beltway and beyond – while delivering the fast-paced, on-the-ground perspective, compelling and unfettered inside access, and eye-catching cinematography for which the show has been celebrated.

For eight seasons, THE CIRCUS has captured everything from Trump’s unexpected presidential victory and his contentious time in office, to the polarizing politics of the pandemic, the 2020 election and ensuing insurrection on Capitol Hill, Biden’s presidency at a time of international turmoil, and much more. The hosts have traversed the globe to give viewers a look at what the public rarely sees and explore the high human drama inherent in American politics.

“When we started The Circus in 2016, we thought it would be a one-and-done deal. Eight seasons and 130 episodes later, we’re still agog that Showtime gave us the trust and support that kept us cranking on this long, strange trip — and let us prove that our idea of doing a weekly, behind-the-scenes, real-time doc series on American politics wasn’t as unhinged as it seemed,” said host and executive producer John Heilemann. “Our belief in the importance of the story we’ve been covering and our eagerness to keep covering it, Circus-style, hasn’t changed. So when people ask what’s next, all we can say is: stay tuned.”

The Problem with Jon Stewart will not be returning for a third season. Apple TV+ has decided to cancel the series just weeks before production on season three was scheduled to begin. The staff of the series was informed on Thursday.

The current affairs show, featuring former Daily Show host Jon Stewart, premiered in 2020, and episodes feature the host talking about news topics, conducting interviews, and more.

Per The New York Times, Apple TV+ has pulled the plug on the series over creative differences with Stewart. The topics and guests for season three were reportedly controversial, and the two sides could not come to a mutual agreement on how to move forward.

The following was said about the decision to cancel the series:

But Mr. Stewart and Apple executives had disagreements over some of the topics and guests on The Problem, two of the people said. Mr. Stewart told members of his staff on Thursday that potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence were causing concern among Apple executives, a person with knowledge of the meeting said. As the 2024 presidential campaign begins to heat up, there was potential for further creative disagreements, one of the people said.

The Problem tackled several hot-button topics in its two seasons, including COVID-19 restrictions, the economy, climate change, racism, gun control, gender identity, and former President Trump’s indictments. The final episode was released in April.

The series has been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series. The Emmys will be held on January 15th.

In 2008, Dan first meets Alex and his world begins to unravel after their brief affair threatens to destroy the life he’s built with his wife, Beth (Amanda Peet).

The following statement was released by the streamer regarding the shows’ cancellations:

“We want to thank both series’ entire creative teams, crews and the fantastic casts for their dedication to bringing these series to life. Both Fatal Attraction and Rabbit Hole will continue to be available on Paramount+ for audiences to discover.”

To date, the series has amassed 23 Canadian Screen Award nominations, and has been honoured with 15 wins, including two wins for Best Dramatic Series and three consecutive wins for Hamza Haq in the Best Lead Performer, Drama Series category.

It’s time for one more adventure with Vikings. Netflix has released the first photos for season three of Vikings: Valhalla. Set to arrive in 2024, it has been announced that season three will end the historical drama series.

Starring Sam Corlett, Frida Gustavsson, Leo Suter, Bradley Freegard, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Laura Berlin, David Oakes, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Soren Pilmark, the series is set 100 years after the events seen in the original Vikings series. Vikings: Valhalla follows the life of Leif Erikson (Corlett). Florian Munteanu and Goran Višnjić are joining the cast for season three.

Vikings: Valhalla co-creator Jeb Stuart said the following about ending the Netflix series, per TUDUM:

“I am so grateful to have had three seasons to tell the stories of Leif, Harald, and Freydís. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to show the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today, and we have done just that,” Stuart said. “I hope when the audience gets to see the new season, they’ll be excited by all the new heights that we’ve taken these heroes.

When we started this project five years ago, I worked hard with this incredible cast and crew to craft a journey that we all hoped would be satisfying. Of course with real historical figures, there are always more aspects of their lives that could be explored, but it made sense storywise for our Leif, Freydís, and Harald’s voyages to end with our third season. And we really cannot wait for the fans to see the conclusion of this chapter of history.”

The premiere date for Vikings: Valhalla season three will be announced later. More photos from the upcoming final season are below.

The Hayworth clan has had their last family get-together. ABC has cancelled the Home Economics series, so there won’t be a fourth season. The third season of 13 episodes finished airing in January.

A family comedy series, the Home Economics TV show stars Topher Grace, Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza, Sasheer Zamata, Shiloh Bearman, Jordyn Curet, Chloe Jo Rountree, JeCobi Swain, and Lidia Porto. The show takes a look at the heartwarming yet super-uncomfortable and sometimes frustrating relationship between three adult siblings of the Hayworth family. Connor (Tatro) is the youngest and most successful sibling in the family and he runs his own private equity firm. His marriage has fallen apart and he has a daughter named Gretchen (Bearman). Tom (Grace) is the middle sibling and is a middle-class author who is struggling. He is married to Marina (Souza), a former attorney, and they have three kids, including Camila (Rountree). Sarah (McGee) is the eldest sibling and an out-of-work child therapist who’s barely making ends meet. She is married to Denise (Zamata), a teacher, and they have two kids (Swain and Curet). The family lives in a cramped Bay Area loft.

Airing on Wednesday nights, the third season of Home Economics averages a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.03 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season two, that’s up by 7% in the demo and up by 6% in viewership. Despite the year-to-year gains, the comedy was one of ABC’s least-watched scripted series of the 2022-23 TV season. It picked up about 40% more viewers in the live+7 day ratings, averaging about 2.92 million.

The network had been holding off on making a decision on the show’s fate until the industry strikes had been resolved and even extended the cast’s options beyond the June 30th contract deadline. Now that the writers strike has been resolved and the end of the actors strike appears to be in sight, Home Economics’ fate has been decided.

A decision has yet to be made on the future of The Rookie: Feds and The Good Lawyer, a backdoor pilot spin-off of The Good Doctor.

What do you think? Do you enjoy the Home Economics TV series on ABC? Are you disappointed to hear that it’s been cancelled?
