While a flight cancellation can mess up a whole day, a TV show cancellation leaves a lot of people unemployed and robs its fans of a season’s worth of enjoyment. FOX has not yet decided whether its LA to Vegas TV show should be cancelled or renewed for season two. Because no final decision has been made on the status, creator Lon Zimmet and his fellow executive producer Steve Levitan are hard at work on ideas for a second season and are reportedly determined to “make some noise,” if they do make a second season.
A FOX workplace comedy, LA to Vegas stars Dylan McDermott, Kim Matula, Ed Weeks, Nathan Lee Graham, Olivia Macklin, Peter Stormare, and Amir Talai. The TV series centers on a weekly Jackpot Airlines roundtrip flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Although it premiered in January with decent numbers and scored a bigger episode order a week later, viewership fell off from there.
When discussing the pending renewal decision on bubble freshman comedy LA to Vegas, the network chairman Dana Walden this morning noted that series creator/exec producer Lon Zimmet and executive producer Steve Levitan are currently working on Season 2 ideas and that “if we can’t find a way to make noise, we won’t do (a second season)” of the Dylan McDermott series.
I hear one of the top ideas that is being considered to create buzz around LA to Vegas‘s potential return is have series executive producer Will Ferrell appear in the Season 2 premiere.
Ferrell and McDermott previously starred together in the 2012 comedy feature The Campaign.
The move echoes Great News executive producer Tina Fey’s commitment to guest star in the opening Season 2 episodes, which last May helped secure the then-bubble midseason comedy a second-season renewal by NBC.
Great News, of course, was just cancelled after that second season, in which Fey did guest star.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the LA to Vegas TV series? Should FOX cancel or renew this TV show for a second season?
No, no, no! Please don’t cancel this show! Love Captain Dave! Need season 2
This show is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Every single episode was great. I can’t tell you the number of times I had to rewind and watch certain over again because I missed them the first time around from laughing so hard. I could watch and listen to Capt. Dave 24/7. He’s the absolute best. Bernard’s sarcasm and one-liners rank up there with Lucifer’s. This is a brilliant, hilarious show. Fingers crossed it returns. But I won’t hold my breath. FOX seems to cancel the fan favorite shows.
2nd Season for LA to Vegas, please, please, please~
I really enjoyed this show. Very silly but one that just grows on you immediately and want to see a second season.

Please please please don’t cancel this show. In the great tradition of shows like Seinfeld, it’s taking an episode or three to get warmed up.The last episodes were insanely good!
It is absolutely hilarious, edgy, delightful, wacky, beautifully acted, cast is genius, Peter Stormare as Artem is inspired, and all the rest, inspired!
GIVE IT ANOTHER SEASON. And Will Ferrell, get your butt in there and give it a leg-up, fer crying out loud!!!
we love this show!!! we want season 2 !
Please don’t cancel LA to Vegas show! i really enjoy watching it. Great characters and it’s funny and heartwarming. Please give us another season!
