It looks like the vacation is over. Recently, Jeff Dye confirmed that NBC has cancelled Better Late Than Never after two seasons.
The reality show follows Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman as they travel the world with both help and misdirection from tech-savvy comedian Jeff Dye.
On Twitter, Dye revealed NBC has decided not to renew Better Late Than Never. The series wrapped its second season in February with an average rating of .91 in the 18-49 demo and 4.819 million viewers. That’s a nearly 40% drop in ratings from season one.

Too bad. I liked the show a lot, enough to do a search to see if there would be a season 3.
So disappointed that this show has been cancelled, my husband and I never missed it. We will miss this show.
This is tragic. One of the best shows I ever seen. Very entertaining. I would re-watch this show and laugh over and over. I would recommend it to my friends and they were hooked. Bring it back, please!

This is a very good show! Being familiar with each of the gentleman’s careers and personalities, the brilliance of an alliance between these four is pure genius. I sincerely hope NBC will reconsider the cancellation of this show and give it another go! Perhaps a resurgence would only be natural if some backing and promotion were to be employed. Please give us back the comic relief that only these four together can afford us.
My husband and I never missed an episode! One of the best shows on television. We would laugh so hard we would have to pause the show until we could compose ourselves and once I laughed until I had tears running down my face. Please bring it back. Funniest show on TV
I was just searching for season theee and learned it’s been canceled. So disappointed. This show was so fun.
I’m so disappointed!!! Big mistake!!
Wow, I am soo disappointed… just went hunting to find out when the 2019 episodes begin and find out that it has been cancelled. It was such a fun show for the whole family to watch together. Please bring it back!
