FXX has pulled the plug on Legit after two seasons. Tonight’s episode will also serve as the comedy’s series finale.
Legit revolves around a fictional version of Australian stand-up comic Jim Jeffries who’s made it big on the comedy circuit in the US and now wants to grow up. His friends and Venice, CA roommates are his divorced and alcoholic best friend, Steve (Dan Bakkedahl), and Steve’s brother, Billy (DJ Qualls) who suffers from muscular dystrophy. Episodes are based on Jeffries’ stand-up routines.
The series has struggled in the ratings, particularly once it moved from FX to FXX. As a result, the cable channel has decided they don’t want a third season.
In a post on his Facebook page, Jeffries wrote, “Legit has been cancelled. Sorry to everyone who was a fan of the show, please watch tonight it’s the final two episodes. I am very proud of the work that I did on this show and I made friends that ill have for life. So I’m going to try and not be sad about this.”
What do you think? Did you like Legit? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Do you think it should have been renewed for a third season?
Bring back Legit, It’s an awesome show and needs many more seasons to come
Jim Jefferies is hysterical and the show was original interesting and funny period better than most shows I’ve ever seen. I am severely disappointed in FX decision to pass on such a talent as Jim Jefferies. As a result I will no longer support this network
Legit was awesome, such a shame it’s stopped
That’s bull****, it was a great show and it should continue!
Bring back legit. Love it. Too funny
Please Netflix bring this back
I love this show and watch it every night before bed, too funny!
