Alex, Inc. is going out of business. Variety reports ABC has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
The comedy stars Zach Braff as Alex Schuman, a successful radio journalist who quits his job in order to found his own podcast company. The cast also includes iya Sircar, Hillary Anne Matthews, Michael Imperioli, Audyssie James, and Elisha Henig.
A Look at the Ratings:
Alex, Inc. has had a rough time in the ratings since it debuted in March. With only one episode to go, season one is averaging a .85 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 3.444 million viewers, making it one of ABC‘s lowest-rated comedies for the 2017-2018 season.

What do you think? Have you seen Alex, Inc.? Do you think it deserved a second season?
So sad to see this show go. We loved the chance to watch Zach Braff again.
I really enjoy this show and beg for a second season. The first show I watched, I thought that I didn’t know if it would be successful. However, as I continued to watch each episode, I liked it more and more. I want to continue to see a very supportive family who roots for Alex’s success.
Makes me sad to see it end so quickly. It’s a nice show that I was able to sit down & watch with my kids, knowing they wouldn’t be seeing anything inappropriate. It deserves a second season. A little more time may be all it needed.
I don’t watch much network fare but ran across this gem in my Hulu Plus account just a few days ago (@ Apr 7). Have watched entire series so far. So sad it’s cancelled. Perhaps the network platform is a misfit? Perhaps this show could thrive in a more receptive venue.
I’m not entirely surprised although it wasn’t bad by any means.
It was a nice show- family oriented, not political, non-violent, not snarky or jaded. It deserves to exist.
