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 absolutely loved this show and they need to push threw for everyone and make a season 3
I absolutely love the show. It is so different and entertaining. There definitely needs to be a season 3.
Happy was awesome, I really want to have a 3rd season and maybe more. It would be cool if the season focused on Nick being a hit man and happy his eyes and ears.
I think syfy should continue with 3rd season if happy. I love the show it keeps a person guessing what will happen next. Keep the show going don’t cancle happy
I don’t think the show should be cancelled!!! I would watch it for as many seasons as they come out with. I love the WTF-NESS of the show !!! Please ReNew it!!!
I can’t believe happy is cancelled this is one of the most amazing out of the box shows out there also was getting in to deadly class the hell should I watch now on syfy hopefully happy gets picked back up somewhere else
Yeah the bloody **** wits!!!!
Probably the best TV show I’ve seen since altered carbon and Dexter, I would be really sad if they were to cancel it completely . Hopefully someone else will take up the show as long as the bloodbath continues and they don’t ruin the show.
This sucks. I liked the show. To all the talented , wonderful, men and women who worked on it. You all were fantastic and did something new, cutting edge, bold, and beautiful. Thank you. I would have loved to see where season 3 would have taken us.
Pissed this show is cancelled. I hope another company picks it up!
I liked the Nic Sax crazy fueld madness.
I come from enjoying sifi and sports on tv to this extream difference.
His madness is a pure clasic. All the cast bring the lunatic demented magic together. I wished there was a season an 3
I’m 53 and it takes a lot to impress me. This was something I really enjoyed.
What a great show! I had no idea what it was about when i first watched it. However by the second episode i was into it. I Loved Meloni’s acting and character! Awesome to see after seeing him as a clean cut cop on Law & Order SVU. The direction and special effects were fantastic, the humour and gore were hysterical and references to other shows, politics, music and history were very well written. Major disappointment when you see the head placed with the pumpkins, grab the mouse to click the next episode…only to find there are no more. They… Read more »
Loved this show. Sadly to see it dissappeard… perhaps an opportunity for Netflix?
Sooo disappointed! It was a great show to me. And I was actually looking forward to the next season. Especially since this one only had 10 episodes. They could have atleast ended it instead of having us expecting more!
I love this show! Would watch it anywhere!!
So annoying that they do this ..they always end good a series on a cliffhanger. It happened with santa clarita diet also. WE WANT A SEASON 3
