American Born Chinese has been cancelled after one season by Disney+. The eight-episode fantasy action-comedy series series debuted in May and was created by Kelvin Yu.
Starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Ben Wang, Yeo Yann Yann, Chin Han, Daniel Wu, Jimmy Liu, Sydney Taylor, and Stephanie Hsu, American Born Chinese is based on the graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. It is a coming-of-age story about a teen struggling to balance his home and school lives.
THR said the following about the cancellation of the show:
Sources say American Born Chinese, which is based on the graphic novel of the same name, did not register with viewers despite Disney’s efforts to expose the series on multiple platforms including Hulu, Roku, YouTube and ABC. (Disney+ does not release viewership data.)
The cancellation is likely due to the recent cost-cutting measures by streaming services, including Disney+.
