The Big D has been cancelled and pulled from the schedule, just ahead of its planned July 7th premiere on TBS, per Deadline. The new dating competition series, hosted by JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers, features singles looking for love while their exes do the same. Promos were already airing on the cable channel. Sources say that the abrupt cancellation of the 10-episode show is essentially a “tax write-off.”
A spokesperson from TBS said the following about the cancellation:
“We’re assessing our schedule to ensure we have the right content mix to support our network strategies. We are grateful to JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, and the executive producers of Big D for their partnership through the process.”
The following was revealed about the plot of the series:
“The Big D, which was ordered in March 2021, takes on the relationship space with a twist, following recent divorcees as they search for romance in paradise with one catch: their exes will be along for the journey. Over the course of several weeks, 10 divorced couples move into a tropical Costa Rica villa together to re-learn how to date while looking for love with other contestants in the house. The group of divorcees engage in revealing relationship ex-ercises designed to help the singles form connections, make peace with their former partners and finally overcome the issues keeping them from getting back into the game.
Each episode, one person who isn’t relationship material was set to be eliminated. Jealous exes might try to send their rival home or even defend their ex’s honor. In addition to hosting the series, Fletcher and Rodgers will be on the ground helping the divorcees get back into the dating game.”

What do you think? Did you plan to watch The Big D on TBS next month? Are you sorry to hear that the show has been cancelled?
I was a cast member on this show and we went through a lot during filming and apparently are STILL in contract with them. We are not allowed to do any other shows or work, and yet the show is canceled. I’m so crushed by this.
Oh dear how sad never mind. More of this inane vapid rubbish should get cancelled before it ever gets past the scripting (cough cough) stage – utter mind numbing garbage for a mind numbing generation of self obsessed narcissists.
I too was not going to watch this show. (yes, I will not be uttering that title)
Refuse to watch “reality” shows.
Since TNT is now airing so much more sports, TBS needs to pick up the scripted show slack……….oh, that’s right, never mind as Warner Bros Discovery has halted all scripted series development at both TNT and TBS.
Good to many dam reality shows taking up air time Keep it up cancel them all
I’ve seen ads for this on TBS and I had no interest in it whatsoever so I am in no way disappointed to hear about it being axed. This network is garbage now anyway.
Isn’t it ever garbage! Remember Superstation TBS? Those were the days!
Yep
