by Trevor Kimball, August 1, 2019

Baskets TV show on FX: canceled, no season 5FX is done clowning around. The cable channel has announced that the Baskets TV show is ending with the current batch of episodes so, there won’t be a fifth season.

A black comedy series, Baskets stars Zach Galifianakis, Louie Anderson, and Martha Kelly, with Alex Morris recurring. The surreal series centers on rodeo clown Chip Baskets (Galifianakis), his twin, Dale (Galifianakis), and mother Christine (Anderson).

The fourth season of Baskets is averaging a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 334,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 23% and 18%, respectively.
