Nick isn’t smiling over this news. Syfy has cancelled the Happy! TV show so there won’t be a third season for this strange series. The program is based on a comic book series that was created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Darick Robertson.
A comedic, fantastical crime drama, Happy! stars Meloni with Patton Oswalt (voice), Lili Mirojnick, Medina Senghore, Ritchie Coster, Patrick Fischler, and Christopher Fitzgerald. The season two cast also includes Ann-Margaret and Big Show. Happy! centers on a former cop, Nick Sax (Meloni). As a hitman on the skids, a drunken and depressed Nick had his existence turned upside down by Happy (Oswalt), an imaginary unicorn, who is out to save the day. In the second season, Sax is trying to stay sober and do right by his family, but old nemesis Sonny Shine (Fitzgerald) is now on a mission to Make Easter Great Again (MEGA) with the help of his demented Easter Bunny henchman.
The second season of Happy! averaged a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 286,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 56% in the demo and down by 57% in viewership.
Given the decline in ratings and because there was a nearly 14-month gap between the end of season one and the start of season two, the cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise. However, Universal Content Productions plans to shop the series to other outlets and the first season is supposedly performing well on Netflix.
Syfy has also cancelled the Deadly Class TV show. The cable channel appears to be cleaning house as Nightflyers, Channel Zero, and Killjoys (final season starts July 19th) have all been cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Happy! TV show? Should this Syfy series have been cancelled or renewed for a third season? Would you watch the show elsewhere?
I love happy it is different and funny. So bored of all cop shows,hospital shows, and so call law shows. This was different and now they are taking it away
couldn’t agree more…
I’ve been watching it on NETFLIX and I really like it. Dark humour, exaggerated gore and really interesting themes. Definitely need another season. However I’m not sure what they would follow after the death that occurred in the season finale.
lol go watch the second season. it’s not on netflix btw.
the first season definitely felt like it had enough resolution so that another season wasn’t needed and we wouldn’t be left hanging if it only ran for one season.
but the second season leaves us with nothing but questions and a whole lot of loose ends. hopefully some other network decides to take up the project.
This makes me upset..I really love Happy!! Seems like alot of shows end. Im not going to have hardly anything to watch except repeats. I hope another station picks it up!!
Ah, SyFy: the ABC of cable.
It shoyldnt be cancelled why because its not about the raiting its about the story and i enjoyed
Every show has a cliff hanger and it suck why because when they reboot its start to suck just look at teens titans go
I’m sure not happy with syfi channel, and yes I’d go to whatever network that gives us a 3rd season!!!
This is devastating news for me. Not only am I losing 2 other shows next year on other networks, I find out Happy has been cancelled. I really hope another network picks it up bc I thought it was absolutely one of the greatest shows. I love the twisted humor! Please comeback!!!
I am so so disappointed that they canceled this great show!! I would love to have any other network to pick it up and would watch it anywhere anytime!!
Why are you cancelling all the shows that are so different and interesting and make you actually have to pay attention compared to all the stupid stuff that is on other channels.
What happened to syfy original programming!!
I love all the shows SyFy is cancelling! Boo!!!
I LOVE that show and all the other ones they are cancelling. and this is why people are getting rid of cable…
I love the show “Happy “! I’ll watch it on Netflix or wherever!
Not sure if you know but if you are a fan of the show “Happy” then obviously you have to know that they are showing this awesome first season on Netflix…
What the eff!!!! EFF YOU SYFY YOU EFFING A—holes I loved that show and you effing kill it I hope you all get explosive diarrhea!!!!!
I love Happy! and am shocked such a good original show has been cancelled. ******* ******** who cancelled the show!!
Season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as season 1 so that couldn’t have helped viewership numbers either. I do hope some platform steps up as season 2 did end on a cliffhanger of sorts.
