FX wants a divorce from their Married sitcom. The cable channel has cancelled the TV show after two low-rated seasons.
A single-camera comedy, Married looks at a married couple (Nat Faxon and Judy Greer) who’ve been married for years. Though the honeymoon is long over, they love each other very much — when they’re not fighting about paying the bills, child-rearing, and their declining sex life. The series also stars Brett Gelman, Sarah Burns, and Jenny Slate.
The series drew low ratings last year, averaging a 0.36 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 680,000 viewers. The cable execs renewed the series renewed it for a second season anyway, believing in the creativity of the series, and hoped that the numbers would improve.
The ratings got a lot worse. Season two, which finished airing on October 1st, averaged a 0.19 rating with 410,000 viewers.
Andrew Gurland, the creator of the series, broke the news on Twitter.

What do you think? Did you like the Married sitcom? Do you think it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a third season?
Loved the series Married. Wish there were more episodes…..sad there isnt…..
Honestly, I think they just had ZERO marketing for the show and their team did a horrible job with advertising it. It was such a great show, but no one knew about it!
” Married” was so much fun. Loved the characters. Thank you to all involved.
Totally agree…it was so funny and true to life.
This show is freaking hysterical !!
I can’t understand why all the good shows get cancelled & the crappy shows stay on.
This show is much more realistic & funnier than most.
This cancellation gets
