Deadline is reporting that there are a few reasons the show was seemingly given a cancellation notice.
First, there was apparently only 1 spot for a comedy TV show on CBS’ 2025-2026 schedule. CBS had to choose between Poppa’s House, new series DMV, new series Zarna, or a spinoff of The Neighborhood. They ultimately chose DMV.
Another reason Deadline listed was it came in last in comedy TV show ratings when compared to renewed comedies Ghosts, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, and The Neighborhood.
And a final reason was that CBS apparently requested the show try and get its budget lower for a possible second season, but they had top stars including Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. on the series, which theoretically made the costs higher.
