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?
We need season 3 already!!!
Me and my finance love happy! It was sooo good and it should keep going. We wanna know what happens to Nick and his revenge !
I loved the TV show Happy! It was an amazing adult show with just enough violence and humour. I couldn’t stop watching. Every Thursday it came out, I bought that episode. I am very dissapointed they have cancelled the show. I was really looking forward to another season involving Halloween. Happy! made me happy.
Happy was an complete original. I didn’t want it to end. It’s August 6th and I just completed second to last episode. Last episode coming up?! SAD days are coming . Netflix please pickup franchise and continue the outrageous fun. Haley needs us
Happy! is brilliantly original. I felt like Season 2 wasn’t hyped much – I wasn’t even aware the season had commenced till it was already half through. Perhaps of the expense of producing a show with a mix of live action and animation made Sci-Fi want to drive a stake through it. Hoping Netflix will produce more – too much was set up at the end of season two for it to just stop there. Or at least a movie/finale to tie up everything.
This show is nothing over-the-top I haven’t seen, but it’s very well packaged and very much enjoyable.
I enjoyed watching this show’s both seasons and would like to see more of it. I’m male 34, if anyone still counts demo.
Omg I loved this show on Netflix watched the last episode of season 2 and was not happy that it ended the way it did we need more episodes. It was so weird and wonderful it was amazing!! Please bring back for a third season
Well, “happy” is possibly the most nuts show I think I’ve ever watched, but it’s fabulous!
I’d liken it to drop dead Fred on steroids!!!
I want more!
I’d be in for a third, fourth, fifth……and more of this series.
C’mon….
It’s not rocket science….
Just don’t leave such a large gap in between starting a new series.
As with any program, you’re viewers get ancy when they are left to stagnate for too long.
Happy is the most insane (in a very good way) show i have watched. I Used under a week to watch season 1 and 2. Pleeeeace make a season 3! I love the show!!
Syfy needs to get their **** together. Cable television is decimating as we speak. Ever since the discovery of hacked Fire-Sticks, people have started switching to an all digital forum for entertainment. This is why Social Media is the #1 location for promotion and marketing. The consumers are no longer on tv. Just like video killed the radio star, the Internet is going to kill the television. It’s analog vs. digital, and digital is the future. There are some obvious issues here. 1 being the fact that Happy! is a great series, so great in fact that the quality of… Read more »
