Showtime Cancels 'Uncoupled' Season 2, Ending Series After Netflix Pickup
The decision comes after months of redevelopment efforts to fit Showtime's platform, marking the end of the series starring Neil Patrick Harris.
- Showtime has decided not to proceed with Season 2 of 'Uncoupled', a comedy series from Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman, after picking it up from Netflix.
- Neil Patrick Harris was set to star in the second season, which had been delayed due to the WGA strike, with production initially planned to start in May.
- The series, which received mostly favorable reviews on Netflix, struggled to make a significant impact with viewers, never making Nielsen’s U.S. streaming charts.
- 'Uncoupled' was part of Showtime's content strategy to feature culturally diverse takes, fitting into the 'Metro Cultures' content lane.
- Showtime is now focusing on other projects, including 'The Chi', 'Yellowjackets', and 'Super Pumped', while also integrating into Paramount+ with Showtime.
