In a move that’s sure the alienate fans, TBS has cancelled its People of Earth TV show. There will be no third season, despite the fact that the Turner-owned cable network already renewed People of Earth for season three, back in September of 2017. According to creator David Jenkins, although the third season has been written (but not shot), the People of Earth cancellation is official. Check it out, below.
A TBS sitcom, People of Earth stars Wyatt Cenac, Ana Gasteyer, Oscar Nuñez, Michael Cassidy, Alice Wetterlund, Luka Jones, Brian Huskey, Nancy Lenehan, Tracee Chimo, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Björn Gustafsson, and Ken Hall. The story centers on journalist Ozzie Graham (Cenac) who comes to town to investigates supposed alien encounters. He is soon drawn into an eclectic group of misfits as he finds himself identifying with their experiences.
People of Earth Cancellation Confirmed
Late last month, creator and writer David Jenkins informed fans the renewal was in jeopardy and asked them to send a friendly note to TBS, if they wanted to see a third season of People of Earth.
So, I'm hearing #PeopleOfEarth might not return for season three. If you're a fan of the show (thanks!) and would like to see more, please consider dropping @tbs a friendly note. https://t.co/6F7TWiFATV

TBS seems not to have been moved by fan outreach, as Jenkins relayed the cancellation decision last night.
Just got word last night: TBS has cancelled People of Earth. Thank you to everyone who was a fan of the show and enjoyed its gentle, amiable sci-fi weirdness. It was an honor sharing this show with you. Let's do it again soon. Love you all. https://t.co/QViyRi0RNF

What do you think? Are you a fan of the People of Earth TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season three? Let us know, below.
We had watched it “in real time” in 2018. We loved it then. I recently rewatched it. I love it now. Could someone please leak the Season 3 scripts for the sake of closure? Yeah, I know, I know, TBS owns the rights to that content and that corporation has no intention of giving anything away for free. Sigh. Is the baby Doug’s, John’s or Don’s? Will Ozzie’s resurrection be successful? Will the Star-Cross folks get their own closure? Will Don oust Eric? Will Jeff and Kurt get some closure? By the way of unsatisfying closure — akin to fabulous… Read more »
What a crime to kill this show in midstream just before the pandemic drove us all to binge on under appreciated series. I just watched it on Hulu and will now have to imagine how it ends. Don and Jonathan will triumph over Eric because the bee sting will trigger a reaction.
Hope the producer gets approached by Netflix and season 3 is the best in this series. This is a great show compared to some of the material on Netflix. This would be big on Netflix and probably a better budget with a different network. Netflix, SBS, ABC or BBC would snap this up.
I watched People of Earth on Hulu and cannot believe TBS backed out of the series! What a disappointment. One of the best offerings from a subpar network. I think you should re-up the series!
I am not a fan of TBS now. Too much disappointment.
The way People if Earth ended is very disappointing. Please finish the series.
Y’all really need to come back and film at least a final season on that even at least a final episode so not cool!
Bring it back this show is awesome. I just bonged the first two seasons and got left on such a cliff hanger.
I think people of earth is a funny show. Please just shoot season three to give us closure.
It would be highly appreciative if you just shoot season 3 and not leave us at a dead end like this. Absolutely love the show binge watch season 1 and 2. Was devastated knowing there wasn’t going to be a season 3. Got some family members hooked on it as well. We need a season 3
I started watching this show when it FIRST aired and LOVED IT!!!! I was thoroughly disappointed they didn’t make the season three… Even more so when i read it had been written and not shot… I purchased the dvds and the download so i could stream it whenever and share it with friends and family who were also hooked omce they watched the quirky cutness. Can you please just shoot season 3 and wrap it up so we arent all wondering what happened to Ozzie in the chamber and Don as the cube
Here in 2021. So sad there’s no season 3. Can we bring it back now?
I just found and watched all the episodes of people of earth, and I love it. I’m so sad there’s not more. Hey TV people! We want more!
I just watched the 2 seasons of People of Earth and Iam super bummed that there is not a 3rd season…….it left my hanging
