FOX may have cancelled The Mick, but what would have happened if it was renewed? Recently, creators John and Dave Chernin spoke with TVLine about their ideas for season three.
The comedy, which wrapped in April, starred Kaitlin Olson as Mickey, a grifter who is left to care for her sister’s spoiled little rich kids in affluent Greenwich, Connecticut. The cast also included Sofia Black-D’Elia, Thomas Barbusca, Jack Stanton, Carla Jimenez, and Scott MacArthur.
In the interview, John Chernin revealed they were “blindsided” by FOX‘s decision to cancel The Mick and there were plans for another season:
Everybody was saying we were coming back, so we were pretty blindsided by that. The general plan was to catch up months after the accident. Sabrina was going to be pretty f–ed up. We think [Sofia Black-D’Elia] is the most incredible actress, so we wanted to basically have Sabrina learn how to walk and talk again.”
And what about Mickey? Dave Chernin says season three would’ve further explored Mickey and Jimmy’s relationship:
We worked really hard in Season 2 to make Jimmy a likable character, which we did by having Mickey s–t all over him. … In Season 3, we wanted to tip the seesaw in the other direction, having Jimmy be the a–hole in the relationship.”
What do you think? Did you watch The Mick? Would you have watched a third season?
One of the best shows EVER. Can’t believe it was cancelled. What was Fox thinking? No show has ever made me cry laughing like The Mick…..hoping someone else will pick it up.
This was one of the funniest shows on TV. Nothing makes me laugh like this show did. I hope another network picks it up.
The Mick was one of the funniest shows, all the characters were great but Jimmy and Chip are the most likable sorry saps ever!!! Who’s terrible decision was it to cancel this hilarious show? So disappointed…
The Mick was so good I am so disappointed to see it not be renewed but hey it’s fox what do you expect.
The Mick was the best show Fox had and Kailyn Olsen is the QUEEN!!!’ Idk what Fox was thinking but when they decided to cancel The Mick I swore off any more Fox shows period!!! My family and I and also all my friends will no longer be supporting Fox. They are not here for the viewers that was 100 when The Mick got canceled!!
Preach on! This was one of the most Innovative TV shows I’ve ever seen in my life. Always Taking Chances and making me laugh. Hopefully it will be picked up by some other television network
