With the last episode of Ugly Americans having aired over a year ago, many suspected that the Comedy Central series had been quietly cancelled. Now, the animated show’s producers and creator have officially confirmed the show’s demise. There won’t be a third season but there’s a chance the characters could continue in another form.
On the Ugly Americans Facebook page, creator Devin Clark noted, “Yes. Sadly. It’s official. Ugly Americans is not coming back any time soon. I’m sorry we can’t make more episodes for you guys. I want to thank all the Ugly fans for their support and for all the awesome fan art. Keep it up! Who knows? Maybe we can Kickstart something Ugly in the future. A movie? A graphic novel? The other show producers and I are working hard to find a new home for Mark, Randall, Callie, Twayne, Leonard, and Grimes (and Koala Man of course).”
The producers wrote:
Ugly Americans fans,
As you might have gathered by now, Comedy Central did not renew us for a 3rd season. The reason this notice is coming so late is that, in spite of lukewarm ratings, the network did everything in their power to keep the show alive by trying to find outside financing. We came very close but unfortunately some legal technicalities kept any deals from going through.
We are exploring our options, even ones that don’t include traditional TV episodes, such as original web shorts or even a graphic novel. We love this universe and the characters and we want to keep them alive (or undead) for you in any way we can. We the producers would continue to make the show without a paycheck to ourselves, but unfortunately animation and all the aspects of TV production are rather expensive.
We appreciate your steadfast loyalty to our little show. We will continue to update this page with any news we have about Ugly Americans, along with new projects of interest from the writers, producers, animators, and cast.
Yours in Ugliness,
The Producers of Ugly Americans
What do you think? Did you like Ugly Americans? Were you hoping for a third season? Would you support a project to keep the series going in some form?
I have only just experienced this series and I too love it. Very disappointed to find there wasn’t a third season, and I would love to discuss what halted the making of a new season? I’d also like to help the producers continue the show if it was possible.
I Loved this show so much because I worked nights drank and partied and lived with a uptight social worker. Holyshit! I WAS RANDLE. I realized this show paralleled my life a good bit. Except I don’t eat or crave brains.
What do I have to do to bring ugly Americans back? Family guy, American dad, and futurama are shows i like but I LOVE UGLY AMERICANS please tell me what I have to donate to keep this great show alive
My husband and I love, Loved, LOVED Ugly Americans!!!!!! We have all episodes and watch them all the time. We were totally shocked when it wasn’t renewed…..how is that possible, when south park is still on?
Bring back ugly Americans now!!!!
Please renew for third season
Was a great show
Better than any of the bs series others are producing
How much would it cost to actually fund one season of ugly Americans? I would imagine it being cheaper than arrested development. And it was taken back by netflix. There’s got to be a way to either keep producing it without airing it. And be able to make a profit of sales of eppisodes. Could amazon be the soul fanaciares and make it a selling point like netflix to arrested? I mean we all know that physical dvd’s and other computing devices are the way for the dinosaur. So amazon should seize the oppertunity they have here. Create there own… Read more »

Those damn Suites, with their armchairs and sofa’s. Whats wrong with sitting on a rock?
I believe you should keep keep the characters and all their personality and just bring them on another TV show it doesn’t matter what channel or web address it is I loved all the characters in the show they are just so unique the show is unique I just want to see it continued in some way please y’all must do something don’t let these unique
Characters and the universe they’re in go to waste
