  Where in the world is season 27 of South Park ? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying.

Showtime Abandons 'Uncoupled' Season 2 A Year After Rescue From Netflix

Posted by on


Some savior. Paramount+ with Showtime is reversing its pickup of Uncoupled, deciding not to go forward with season 2. They had picked it up in February 2023 about a month after Netflix canceled the series after a single eight-episode season.

Created by Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place and Younger creator Darren Star, Uncoupled stars Neil Patrick Harris as Michael Lawson, a mid-40s gay man in his navigating New York City single life after being abruptly dumped by his partner of 17 years. Tisha Campbell, Brooks Ashmanskas, Emerson Brooks and Marcia Gay Harden starred with him as series regulars. It was produced by MTV Entertainment Studios.

Showtime’s creative team was putting the project into redevelopment to shape it into what its new home network was looking for.

A significant majority of the ten episodes’ scripts had already been written. Star had been Star has been busy filming the fourth season of Emily In Paris, another MTV Entertainment Studios-produced comedy that has fared much better on Netflix than Uncoupled had which also had been delayed by the strike.

Uncoupled was supposed to fit into one the three main content lanes outlined by network president Chris McCarthy, being “Metro Cultures”, which covered “culturally diverse takes” like established hits The L Word and The Chi and recent acclaimed limited series Fellow Travelers. What specifically is going to replace it is unknown as the network replenishes its original programming slate under the still relatively new regime.
