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?
