HBO has decided to cancel Family Tree after one low-rated season. The eighth and final episode aired in July.
A docu-style comedy, Family Tree was created and written by Christopher Guest and Jim Piddock. The story follows Tom Chadwick (Chris O’Dowd), a young man who feels lost in his life until he inherits a box family heirlooms. The contents send him searching for his roots. Nina Conti and Tom Bennett co-star.
A co-production of the BBC and NBC-Universal, the eight episodes ended up averaging just 540,000viewers.
What do you think? Did you enjoy Family Tree? Would you like to see it continue somehow? Perhaps in another form?
We borrowed the dvd from our library and binge watched it in one day. I think Chris O’Dowd is so funny -loved him in the IT CROWD and this series as well. Very disappointed to find out there will be no second season!
It was the best show I’ve watched in years. Love the actors; script is witty, warm, and wonderfully funny. It must be a type of humor most people don’t get. I watched season 1 twice on prime and considered getting HBO so I could watch season 2. No reason to now!
I loved this show!! I was just searching for when season two starts. 🙁
I binged watched this show in one night.. And i was so dissapointed when i saw there was no more episode’s!! What??? How could they do that?? This is an excellent show it was a nice breather to watch something that felt normal. Something i can relate to. I love it and want more!! If they were to keep this show or even bring it back i would definitely be a faithful fan and would NOT miss NOT one episode. Please please help bring it back!!!
