I’m Sorry Canceled, Season Three Renewal Rescinded

Another show had joined an elite unlucky club of shows canceled after prior renewals due to COVID-19. TruTV's I'm Sorry will not be back for the third season that was previously ordered. The show, which was shot on-location and not on a soundstage, filmed multiple episodes before shutting down during the early days of the COVID-19 crisis. With on-location filming unable to resume, and costs of moving to a soundstage too high, the show found iteslf in an unlucky situation and was canceled. Series creator and star Andrea Savage revealed the news, along with the news that the show was set to move from TruTV to TBS for the third season. Savage starred in the series alongside Tom Everett Scott, and Kathy Baker and Martin Mull recurred.

Cable Renew/Cancel - TBS, Tru, & Comedy Central: The Detour and Alternatino Enter + Multiple Renewals Across the Networks

TBS, TruTV and Comedy Central have all been busy in the last few months, and that means that it's time for a new edition of the Renew/Cancel. Stay tuned for predictions for The Detour, Full Frontal, Alternatino and more!

TBS:

Show	Status
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee	Certain Renewal
The Detour	Leans Renewal
The Guest Book	Leans Renewal
Search Party	Returning TBA
The Last OG	Renewed
Close Enough	Premieres In 2019
Miracle Workers	Renewed
American Dad!	Renewed
Final Space	Moved to Adult Swim
Angie Tribeca	Canceled

The Detour: Even though it's still a pretty solid performer, I think The Detour could be in some danger this season. It's down a decent amount, and TBS has axed quite a few similar performers lately. They also are moving away from their comedy-exclusive strategy, with dramas now airing on the network starting next year. I don't know exactly what TBS is using to decide renewals, so it's hard to actually predict what will return and what will go, but I'll give The Detour a benefit of the doubt and put it in the LEANS RENEWAL category for now.

Miracle Workers and The Last OG: Before we were able to post an update, TBS renewed both of these comedies for additional seasons.

Angie Tribeca: Since our last update, this veteran comedy was canceled following its December burnoff. That was a correct prediction.

TruTV:

Show	Status
Impractical Jokers	Certain Renewal
Hack My Life	Leans Renewal
Jon Glaser Loves Gear	Likely Cancellation
Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters	Likely Cancellation
Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack	Likely Cancellation
I’m Sorry	Renewed
The Carbonaro Effect	Renewed
At Home with Amy Sedaris	Renewed
Tacoma FD	Renewed
Paid Off with Michael Torpey	Renewed
Adam Ruins Everything	Returning In 2019
Those Who Can’t	Canceled

At Home With Amy Sedaris, Tacoma FD, The Carbonaro Effect, I'm Sorry: All four shows were announced as renewed since our last update. Tacoma FD was renewed before we got a prediction in, while Carbonaro Effect and I'm Sorry were both correct predictions and At Home was an incorrect one. These announcements don't impact the predictions for any other TruTV show.

Comedy Central:

Show	Status
Drunk History	Certain Renewal
Tosh.0	Certain Renewal
Alternatino with Arturo Castro	Leans Renewal
Klepper	Leans Renewal
The Jim Jefferies Show	Leans Renewal
South Park	Returning TBA
The Other Two	Returning TBA
Corporate	Renewed for Final Season

Alternatino with Arturo Castro: It's only been two weeks, but this new show is already off to a pretty weak start with a 0.11 average. And yet, I'm still marking it down as LEANING RENEWAL. Why? Comedy Central is known recently for giving its shows at least a second season, which gives them an opportunity to improve in L+SD ratings and grow fanbases that view the shows through alternative platforms. It's not a rule, and it certainly can be broken, but as of now, I think the show will be back.

Corporate: Comedy Central renewed this low-rated show for a third and final season earlier this month, a correct prediction.
