Uncoupled will not be returning for a second season after all. After releasing the first season of eight episodes in July 2022, Netflix cancelled the relationship comedy series in January 2023, despite it being a Top 10 show. Showtime picked up the series for a second season in February but has now cancelled those plans.
Neil Patrick Harris, Tuc Watkins, Tisha Campbell, Marcia Gay Harden, Emerson Brooks, and Brooks Ashmanskas star in the series, which follows successful real estate broker Michael Lawson (Harris) as he returns to the dating world after his partner of 17 years breaks up with him.
Deadline reveals that filming on season two had been delayed due to the writers strike last year. Production was expected to begin in May with the season’s 10 scripts mostly written. The project was ultimately cancelled because the creative team had issues redeveloping the series to fit the network’s programming model.
What do you think? Did you watch season one of Uncoupled on Netflix? Were you planning to watch season two on Showtime?
Sorry, but this ***** show was just unoriginal and stuffy. I was very disappointed and wouldn’t have watched a second season anyway.
Thank goodness I didn’t keep paying for my Showtime subscription waiting for the show to air.
