Why Was It Cancelled? People were surprised that this show received a second season after the first was pretty widely panned, but apparently that had been planned in advance. It did not make it into the Nielsen Streaming Rankings across its two seasons, and it currently holds only 39% on the Tomatometer scale and a 10% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show did get a Halloween special in October 2024, but after that, Max confirmed that it had been cancelled.
