While Nurse Jackie has been renewed for a fourth season, Showtime has decided that they’ve had enough of their other Monday night comedy, United States of Tara. The latter TV series has been cancelled after three seasons.
Starring Toni Collette, United States of Tara revolves around a suburban wife and mother who suffers from multiple personalities. Others in the cast include Brie Larson, John Corbett, Keir Gilchrist, and Rosemarie DeWitt.
Collette has been nominated for three Emmy awards for the role and won in 2009 for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. Debuting in January of 2009, the TV series was created by Diablo Cody and was based on an idea from Steve Spielberg.

Tara’s rating have been sliding for awhile so the cancellation isn’t actually a big shock. Last season, Tara averaged more than 550,000 viewers while season three to date is down more than 40%, averaging about 325,000.
In addition to tonight’s, there are three episodes left in season three. The series finale is set to air on June 20th and is titled “The Good Parts.”
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a fourth season or was it time for United States of Tara to end?

Very Disappointing that you canceled it after three seasons how are we? Do you know what happens from now on? I think someone needs to check on this because this was a great show and a lot of people really enjoyed it.
Big mistake to cancel. Must have been too revealing about DID connections to celebs
Would watch a 4th season a 5th a 6th it’s a great show with amazing acting.
How could they just end it like that
I need more i just found out about this show never had cable and just got hulu
I, among many MANY MANY other people would kill to see another season of “The United States of Tara.” the acting was (sorry for the language) ******* PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I’ve never seen another TV show remotely like this. I was extremely disappointed to find out that there would be no more episodes or seasons, and I sincerely hope that production or whoever decides these things will reconsider! There is obviously a HUGE following for this show It’s important, as well, to the community of people who suffer or know someone with a mental illness, as well as framing it in a… Read more »
I can’t believe your canceling the show after 3 seasons! Im so disappointed. I was really looking forward to another season. This is such a binge worthy show! Please don’t quit John and Toni! I love this show its so cool and so real life. Mental illness is something not shown on tv shows very often DID is real so is bipolar which is what I suffer from. I wish some people would gain an understanding rather than judging people. Not everyone or household is functional and kosher like the American Dream. Muah for 3 lovely seasons of someone that… Read more »
Would love to see a 4th season..unanswered questions. .does tara get better …what can we learn about d.i.d..and how to deal with it..is there a cure..why did she develop these specific characer types…the list goes on…
Noooo! This show is awesome. I binged watched on Netflix. Bring it back!
I just finished the series and I am so bummed their isn’t a season 4!
DO NOT CANCEL!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve just binge watched this excellent & well written/acted series. What a ride from start to…no season 4! A seemingly modern balanced family with issues is forced to maintain balance with a MP mom, mother, sister. From comedy to near tragedy to hope, this series should be renewed or picked up by another carrier.
What in monkey’s name is wrong with these people???????
SO SO SO CRUEL!
Very sad to hear about US of Tara being cancelled! I have been watching it on Showtime on Demand and I love it!
im so upset this show is cancelled i really wish u guys will
make a season 4
Bah! I love this show soooo much!! Toni Collete is SUCH a talented actress, she was AMAZING playing this role. I am so incredibly sad to see that it ended at Season 3, they could have gone another several seasons and I would have been there to watch every single one at LEAST three times! Also, John Corbett was/is sexy as hell. And I aint gonna lie… I’d do Buck too lol **** Nurse Jackie, that show has NOTHING on USOT! We miss you, Tara!!
