(Amazon)
Tig Bavaro is signing off. Amazon has cancelled its One Mississippi TV show after two seasons. The second and final season of the series from Tig Notaro and Diablo Cody premiered on Amazon on September 8, 2017.
An Amazon Prime Video TV series, One Mississippi stars Tig Notaro, Noah Harpster, John Rothman, Stephanie Allynne, Rya Kihlstedt, Carly Jibson, Beth Grant, Carol Mansell, Casey Wilson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Adora Dei. A semi-autobiographical “traumedy” based on Notaro’s life, One Mississippi ponders what happens when you must go home again — whether or not your truly can.
Today, Amazon also cancelled Kevin Bacon’s I Love Dick, as well as Jean-Claude Van Johnson. On the upside, earlier today, they renewed The Tick for season two.
Deadline reports:
Amazon is doing more clearing the decks with the cancellation of three comedy series: Tig Notaro’s One Mississippi, Jill Soloway’s I Love Dick and Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

“This is part of a move towards bigger, wider-audience series,” an Amazon insider told Deadline.
Notaro’s semi-autobiographical One Mississippi has garnered strong reviews (100% on Rotten Tomatoes for Season 2), and the series also made headlines for its depiction of sexual misconduct that later was linked to the Louis C.K. scandal. The disgraced comedian was an executive producer on the series (in name only).

Amazon, which is on the hunt for big, broad drama hits, has dramatically pared down its comedy series slate, once populated heavily of quirky, underrated half-hour shows. Besides Globe-winning Transparent, Mozart in the Jungle and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and just-renewed freshman hit The Tick, all other existing comedy series have been canceled, and the streaming platform also recently opted not to pick up any of the three comedy pilots from its most recent fall pilot season.
What do you think? Have you watched the two seasons of the One Mississippi TV series? Did this Amazon TV show deserve to be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Let us know, below.
I’m totally upset by the cancellation! I was anxiously awaiting the 3rd season! I loved the characters and the story! Sad day…
I’m very disappointed that One Mississippi was Cancelled after two seasons. The show deals with many issues from a wide range of views. I hope that Amazon decides to bring back the show.
So disappointed that there will be no season three, I’ve re-watched the first two seasons several times and have fallen in love with the characters and their stories! 🙁
This cancellation is in a word cowardly. The characters and challenges portrayed are exactly what we ought to see and be discussing right now very disappointing.
Amen! Binged the whole series in a day. It is so wonderful and just what is needed right now. Cowardly Amazon! Shame on them!
This is such a disappointment & I can’t believe amazon isn’t renewing for a third season. This show wasn’t allowed to complete a proper story arc and conclusion, despite the fantastic content and high critic ratings. Do we really need more salacious, nutty vampires shows & the like?! Amazon is proving itself to be just another corporate money monger, which may pay off in the short term but what about the long term? What about the overall effect on society and culture? Amazon has the power to make a meaningful impact through its choice in programming, but I guess all… Read more »

OMG…. I just discovered this show and LOVE IT. How could they have cancelled it?!?…. This is one of the best shows we have seen in a very long time – we’re SO disappointed. I can only hope they brong it back or find another distribution channel…. Has anyone heard any updates??….
One Mississippi was one of the best shows anywhere on any device! Bring back this quality show!
Pls do not cancel One Mississippi, it is a good show.!!!!!+
Nooooooooo! I am so upset to see that there will not be a season 3 for “One Mississippi.” My husband and I don’t often agree on what television programs to watch but, this one was a winner. We loved the writing, the characters and especially Tig Notaro. She is very talented and has quite a compelling story to tell.
I absolutely loved One Mississippi. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to experience the lives of the characters anymore. I would be over the moon to see season 3, 4, 5…
