One Mississippi aired for two seasons on Amazon, and the star of the series is glad the series was cancelled. Louis C.K. was involved in the series as a producer, and five women have accused him of sexual misconduct.
This is the main reason comedian Tig Notaro was relieved the Prime Video series was cancelled. She said the following about One Mississippi, per The Daily Beat:
“There was also a part of me that felt like there was an element of negativity that was tied to the show through a particular producer. A part of me was excited to just get the word that OK, it’s been canceled and be like, all right, let’s shut that chapter, I’m ready to move on in life.”
She also said more about the series and if it could ever return:
“I wanted to do the show and we had a million storylines for season three. You know, if some crazy world happened where Amazon or FX was like, ‘We gotta bring back this show, reboot One Mississippi,’ I would happily do it and I would have a million things to say. And I also felt like where we ended on season two was—even though it wasn’t the end of the show—it felt like a reasonable place to end if this must be canceled.”
One Mississippi stars 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 the life of Notaro, who created the series with Diablo Cody, the One Mississippi TV show ponders what happens when you must go home again — whether or not your truly can. The story centers on Tig Bavaro (Notaro), a Los Angeles radio host. Upon the sudden death of her mother, Caroline (Kihlstedt), Tig returns to home Bay Saint Lucille, Mississippi. There, she must come to terms with her monumental loss, while dealing with health challenges of her own.
What do you think? Did you want a third season of this Amazon series? Were you disappointed that it was cancelled?
I would love endless seasons! I loved watching a show was not artificially violent and instead about real people and real life.
Loved the show! 2 Seasons!
Yes yes yes more one Mississippi
I want season 3 and can’t understand why it had to be cancelled. It’s real and we need more of that in our lives.
I want more! Please create a season three.
I have watched this series at least three times, and I’m still angry that it got cancelled. This show touches quite a few nerves for me and I am so incredibly impressed with the way all of the “hard” issues are handled, and at that same time it’s so funny, I just can’t say enough! I am still hoping they will bring it back!
I just watched both seasons of One Mississippi and I thought it was phenomenal! I am truly sorry this show did not go on for a third season. I’m sure it could be even better without producers like Louis CK. Please consider bringing it back. I was truly vested in the lives of the stepfather, the town, the brother… all the characters were very open and honest and just lovely. Made me want to know this family. I can see there is much more to say and so many more stories to be told.
What an incredible show. Tig is so crazy charismatic. Thought the way they handled the “ masturbation assault” was brilliant. So nuanced. You can see how traumatizing it was for Kate in a way you might not get just being told the story. Ironic plot given all the allegations against her producer. How very very brave of Tig and Co. Interestingly, I truly loved Bill, a man so deeply good in his own way, and Felicia. What a unique, never-seen-on-tv pair. Tig for President!!!
