EXCLUSIVE: ABC has quietly cancelled The Mayor after one season, sources inform RenewCancelTV.
Despite superficially ordering back-up scripts last week, the network has given up on the low-rated comedy’s Season 2 prospects, multiple insiders confirm.
About The Mayor:
Young rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) needs his big break. For years, he’s toiled away in a small inner-city apartment, making music in his junk-filled bedroom closet. Tired of waiting for opportunity to knock, Courtney cooks up the publicity stunt of the century – running for mayor of his California hometown, Fort Grey, to generate buzz for his music career. But his master plan goes wildly awry, ending in the most terrifying of outcomes: an election victory.
The cancellation writing was always on the wall, despite extremely optimistic hopes for an eight-season run.
Producers ABC Studios plan to shop The Mayor elsewhere, however, insiders say the series has no hope of finding a new home for Season 2.
RIP.

Scumbag rapper rapes white bitch and forces her to run his campaign for Mayor, which he thought involved raping more white wimmen and selling drugs to kids in school… Great comedy concept.
GPB says
Watched 5 minutes of the first show and deleted it from the DVR.

Well, I thought this was actually one of the better enthno-centric shows on network TV. It wasn’t nearly as racist ad the others. It’s a far cry better than Carmichael, Black-sh, That Wayons steaming pile of sh*t, etc. This wasn’t a great show.. but it wasn’t CBS’ worst either.

Well-deserved cancellation! This show was a loser from the very beginning! The white female actress is not known for her kindness. Karma.
