Why was White Famous cancelled? Recently, Showtime bosses Gary Levine and David Nevins addressed the network’s decision to end the freshman TV show, Deadline reports.
From Jamie Foxx, the comedy centers on a young, talented African-American comedian, Floyd Mooney (Jay Pharoah), who tries to maintain his roots as he becomes more popular with mainstream audiences. The cast also includes Utkarsh Ambudkar, Jacob Ming-Trent, Lonnie Chavis, and Cleopatra Coleman.
At this year’s TCA winter press tour, Nevins explained why Showtime cancelled White Famous, saying the series wasn’t moving in the right direction:
[T]here were things that worked but ultimately we concluded that it was a show that was not moving the needle and was not going to move the needle in future; it was not on the right trajectory.”
What do you think? Have you seen White Famous? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Please bring it back…. God dem pls bring it back. It very nice and intriguing
White Famous deserved a second season. Shame on Showtime for cancelling it so early.
Thus show had so far to go. Each episode had me looking forward to the next show.
The season finale had me looking forward to another season. If HBO can keep the series ” Insecure” on for as long that its been on . Wtf. .Showtime?
Makes me think there was some ethnic ******** in canceling this excellent series.
Storyline and writing was as good as many shows. Come on Man!
