Dinner with the Parents will not be returning for more meals run amuck. According to Deadline, Amazon cancelled the comedy series eight months after it aired on Amazon Freevee.
Michaela Watkins, Dan Bakkedahl, Carol Kane, Henry Hall, Daniel Thrasher, and Jon Glaser star in the Dinner with the Parents comedy series, which took viewers into the weekly Friday night dinners of the Langer family. The dinners always end in chaos.
With the Freevee streaming service shutting down and most shows moved to Prime Video, Dinner with the Parents was the last original Freevee series still in limbo.
A reason for the comedy’s cancellation was not given, but the shutdown of Freevee and the length of time since its airing indicates the demise is likely due to low viewership and budget cuts.
What do you think? Have you watched this Freevee series? Were you hoping for a second season renewal?
“Friday Night Dinner” — the British series, upon which this was based, was hilarious, and ran for a long time. Once again the American remake fails to capture the magic of the original. And yet, we keep trying.
