Showtime has cancelled White Famous after one season. Per THR, the cabler has opted not to renew the comedy-drama for Season 2:
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the network opted not to move forward with the Jamie Foxx-produced Jay Pharoah vehicle right before the new year — not an atypical time to drop bad news. A Showtime rep was not immediately available for comment.
The series’ cancellation does not come as a huge surprise, considering fellow freshman half-hour SMILF was quickly renewed a month ago amid radio silence on White Famous’ own future prospects. Produced by Showtime alongside Lionsgate Television and Foxx’s Foxxhole Productions, White Famous was greeted with mixed reviews and courted a weekly audience of 1.8 million viewers once all platforms were tallied.
RIP.

why does it have to be cancelled? I started watching this show and fell in love with it, the entire cast is hilarious. shocked that they picked on this one to have to go. very disappointed in whoever made this dumb decision.
