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 Amazon 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?
this show should definitely be brought back! ppl should be throwing money at this project. such a touching show. it deserves a wider audience.
Very disappointed there are not more seasons coming. We tore through the 2 short seasons. And are invested in ALL the characters ! So well written. I will be referring people to it when they ask if we’ve seen anything we like on Prime lately.
Just binge watched both seasons of One Mississippi and loved it so very much…with the exception of the theme song “Jambalaya”, which made me want to gag when I was 5 years old as it was playing ad nauseum on the radio. So it’s a disappointment to learn it was not renewed by Amazon. I hope it finds new life (without LCK)…or Tig Notaro has something else we can look forward to.
Yes. Please bring on deacon 3
Great show. I’ld love a season 3. Well done w/ a variety of personalities.

Yes , I thought the show was wonderdul and feel invested in the characters, not only Tig but Bill as well. I hope that the series can continue.
I would love to see One Mississippi return for Season 3. I am a big fan of Tig Notaro and the show.
I REALLY loved this show.. I’m Extremely butthurt to hear of the cancelation, I’m not sure how I was so unware of this!

Bills out here hooking up now… there’s so much I NEED to KNOW! please bring it back. We need more tig in our lives.
