FOX has decided to break up with their Weird Loners sitcom. It’s been cancelled after a short season of six episodes.
A single-camera comedy, Weird Loners revolves around a quartet of underdogs who find themselves single while most of their peers are married and starting families. They’re played by Becki Newton, Meera Rohit Kumbhani, Nate Torrence, and Zachary Knighton.
The series debuted on March 31st to poor ratings and registered a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.89 million viewers. As bad as that was, the numbers got even worse in later weeks and fell as low as a 0.53 rating with 1.21 million viewers.
FOX has now pulled the plug on the series. The last episode aired this week, on Tuesday, May 5th.
What do you think? Were you one of the few that liked the Weird Loners sitcom? Is it a better show than the ratings seem to indicate?
They should bring it back between New Girl & Brooklyn 99 — that would be a solid night of comedy.
So sad and disappointed that the show is cancelled. All of my friends and I always watched it and died laughing. I really look foward to this show being renewed because it is a great show.
I absolutely loved Weird Loners…it was a riot. We loved this show and are so disappointed that it was cancelled. I cant believe the shows that were renewed and yet this one got cancelled. We were absolutely dying laughing re: the episode where Eric Lewandowski went to the gay bar & Zara Sandhu let them believe he was a woman so that they could win the dart contest. I hope this show gets picked up somewhere.

The show was funny and the last. Episode was the best hopefully another station picks it uo
i really liked the show it was like a breath of new air and all the characters were great and the actors that played them were perfect for them. i like every episode that they took out. one reason i think it didn’t become bigger is that it wasn’t given the pr that it needed. compared to the other shows that fox had it was clear this was way better like come on the following was just a snooze fest and mulaney was a joke to say it was the new seinfield. but this and backstorm im sad to see… Read more »
Was a really good show and they shouldn’t have cancelled it I would’ve loved to see more :((
This was a good show overall, I would like to see more of the character development. It feels very unfinished and rushed, they could have put a little more effort into it. I liked the whole plot and all the characters, it had promise.
I just finished watching all 6 shows one after the other. Loved it ! ! ! They cancelled too too too soon – I’ll bet a lot people watch series on ON DEMAND or otherwise NOT LIVE. Just because a show is on Tues 8pm it doesn’t mean I will watch it then. Are the ratings only for Tues 8pm??? That would make no sense with all the other ways to watch a show and the choice of when – including middle or after the season and bingeing all at once. I’d rather watch 3 hours of one show than… Read more »
Seriously?! Why are they canceling fine shows and leave us with crap! I liked this one
It was a cute show but one could see it wasn’t going to make it. Excellent cast with fresh new faces. Meera is a babe!
