Viewers have seen the last of the fictional version of the Lopez family. NBC has cancelled Lopez vs Lopez so that it won’t return for a fourth season. The show’s third season of 13 episodes finished airing in February.
A family comedy series, the Lopez vs Lopez TV show stars George Lopez, Mayan Lopez, Selenis Leyva, Brice Gonzalez, Al Madrigal, and Matt Shively. The story revolves around a generational conflict between a partially estranged father and daughter — working-class, old-school George (George Lopez) and his Gen Z daughter, Maya (Mayan Lopez). George was largely an absent father, and he also cheated on Maya’s mother (Leyva) and gambled a lot. Now, Maya has been through years of therapy, and George has gone through a tough time. Now that he’s moved in with Maya and her family, the two have a chance at repairing their relationship. Along with his stoner pal Oscar (Madrigal), George helps out around the house while tormenting his son-in-law Quinten (Shively). George is also getting to connect with his young grandson, Chance (Gonzalez).
Airing on Friday nights, the third season of Lopez vs Lopez averaged a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.98 million viewers (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season two, that’s down by 18% in the demo and up by 5% in viewership.
The show has had low ratings throughout its three season run so the cancellation is not a surprise. NBC will also be airing many NBA games next season, leaving fewer slots available on the schedule.
Today, NBC also cancelled Found, The Irrational, Night Court, and Suits LA.
