On Happyish, a forty-something man and his family try to find a way to relax and be content in a rapidly changing world. The cast of this dark comedy includes Steve Coogan, Kathryn Hahn, Sawyer Shipman, Bradley Whitford, and Ellen Barkin.
The series started as a star-vehicle for actor Philip Seymour-Hoffman and it was picked up after he filmed a well-received pilot. The project was thrown in turmoil when he died and Coogan was eventually hired to replace him.
The show got off to a poor start in late April with meager viewership — garnering a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 232,000 viewers in the same day ratings. The numbers went up and down throughout the short season but were always quite small.
A cancellation looked likely and now, it’s been confirmed that there won’t be a second season. The June 28th season finale will have to serve as the series finale as well.
