FX and its comedy "Married" are divorcing. It was revealed on Monday, October 26 that the Judy Greer-starring series was canceled after two seasons.
FX is yet to make an official announcement but series creator Andrew Gurland confirmed the news via Twitter. "There will be no season three of @MarriedFX. Thank you @FXNetworks for the opportunity and thank you to all the fans. It's been a blast," he tweeted.
The show centers on Nat Faxon's Russ and Greer's Lina Bowman, a long-time married couple who, when they are not fighting over debts, child rearing and their declining sex life, are reminded that their close friendship is what drew them together in the first place.
The second season wrapped up on October 1 with 0.2 million viewers watching. It was three times lower than season 1's ender and the lowest-rated FX series so far this year. FX president John Landgraf stated that ratings, creative and critical feedback would be the main factors in determining whether a series get to live or not.
FX has in line Zach Galifianakis' "Baskets", Donald Glover's "Atlanta" and Pamela Adlon's "Better Things". These new comedy slates will join veteran shows such as "Louie" next year.
