The gardeners won’t return for the 2025-26 TV season to sew more seeds of deception. NBC has cancelled Grosse Pointe Garden Society, so viewers won’t get a second season. The show’s first season of 13 episodes finished airing in May.
A mystery drama series, the Grosse Pointe Garden Society TV show was created by Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs. The series stars Melisa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, AnnaSophia Robb, Matt Davis, Alexander Hodge, Nancy Travis, and Felix Wolfe. In the story, four suburban Michigan garden club members find their lives intertwined by everyday challenges, scandal, and mischief. They also have a shared secret — a murder no one wants to talk about. The four members are perfectionist realtor Catherine (King), wild socialite Birdie (Fumero), young teacher Alice (Robb), and garden center manager and landscaper Brett (Ben Rappaport). As dark truths surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden.
Airing on Sunday and Friday nights, the first season of Grosse Pointe Garden Society averaged a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.23 million viewers (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).
The series launched in February and began airing on Sunday nights. After six low-rated episodes, the network moved Grosse Pointe to Fridays. The NBC ratings stayed about the same, but viewership on Peacock increased.
It was the lowest-rated scripted series on NBC this season, but performed well enough in streaming that NBCUniversal considered making it a Peacock original series. Ultimately, it was decided that the viewership on either platform was too low. The cast’s options expire tomorrow.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed watching the Grosse Pointe Garden Society TV series? Are you disappointed this NBC drama has been cancelled instead of renewed for a second season?
Finally Peacock has a show worth watching and it gets cancelled!! I’m so upset about this..
Again, Based on a True Story was worth watching but also cancelled… Nothing left to keep Peacock for time to cancel again.
This was a good show. So of course it was cancelled. This kind of thing has happened most of my life. Good shows get cancelled. Not good shows remain.
I’m so disappointed that this series is cancelled!! Why not bring it back on streaming? Why bother having a cliffhanger, just tie up all loose ends at the ending of each episode so you can cancel at the drop of a hat like you do.
WHAT?! TV is just ridiculous these days. They make you wait 2 (or more) years for the next season or they just cancel and leave a huge cliffhanger for those of us who watched the entire season. I really liked this show & couldn’t wait to find out the secrets. This is why I like to wait until the show has ended it’s run before I watch it on a streaming service. That way if it gets pulled after only one season, I don’t waste my time. Disappointed. If it were more violent or had more smut, it would have… Read more »
I enjoyed this show. It was quirky and interesting. I don’t watch too many network shows for this very reason. I get invested in the show and they cancel it. I was hoping another network would pick it up.
Que interessante essa matéria que acabei de ler, até compartilhei no meu Facebook. sorteio ao vivo
it was bore let it go
I knew NBC would cancel this one, SAD, it started off slow but ended with a BANG, would have been nice to see how it all came together. Networks don’t give shows a chance anymore, this one was one you could just watch with some popcorn and not have to over think everything. Sad to see all the networks changing to nothing but reality shows and sports
