ABC Finally Canceled This Gina Rodriguez Used-To-Be Hit Sitcom After 2 Seasons
Seems like it’s dead already.
It’s sometimes sad to realize that the era of sitcoms has eventually faded away. Of course there are new ones produced, and people like them all, in general, but still the old but gold ones are getting more praise even years after they have been released.
Still, when ABC’s new sitcom Not Dead Yet premiered early in 2023 it made quite a statement on the channel. The ratings were good, and everybody loved the Gina Rodriguez-led and executive-produced comedy.
And what’s not to like? In the series written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor, the actress plays the part of a young woman named Nell Serrano, who finds herself single in this terrible world and is starting to worry that she is getting older.
She now has a goal: to start everything from scratch. But that’s going to be hard for her, because she herself describes her as a disaster, still she is determined to restart her life and what’s more important – straighten the career of a journalist that she left behind almost a decade ago.
So what happened and why did ABC decide to cancel the show if everybody liked it? Well, the thing is, the first season was good, but the ratings didn’t keep up in season 2, and that’s the main reason why the decision was made.
However, it seems that the fans of the show were not ready for news like that. All as one they are surprised the series is not going air anymore because they were waiting in agony to see what else is in store for them.
“I was definitely waiting for the romance arc with the roommate! I felt like they tested it out at the end of season one and dropped some hints but nothing came of it. And now nothing will,” Redditor kdinreallife said.
If you’re not ready to let go of the sitcom just yet, you can stream both seasons of Not Dead Yet on Hulu.
