Makuochi Echebiri is a News Writer for Collider. He has been interested in creative writing from as far back as high school, and he would consume pretty much anything that’s film or TV. However, his truest love lies in the presence of historical epics and thrillers.

The Big Picture After a solo season on Netflix, Uncoupled, the comedy series produced by Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman , saw its tenure at the streamer terminated. The romantic comedy was, however, saved by Showtime the following month. In a sour turn of events for the show, however, Showtime has decided against moving forward with the series, according to a report from Deadline.

Uncoupled followed Neil Patrick Harris as Michael Lawson, a man in his mid-forties who has to re-enter the dating pool of New York City after his partner of seventeen years, Colin leaves him. A real estate agent, Michael must adapt quickly or runs the risk of remaining single for the rest of his days. For the majority of his latest foray into the dating pool, Michael sought to rely on friendship to get him through.

The cancelation of the show in early 2023 had been speculated, as the MTV Entertainment Studios-produced Uncoupled strruggled to mark its mark on the streamer. The Harris-led romantic comedy, with the exception of a solo appearance at number 6, failed to reach Netflix’s Top 10 rankings. The show might have progressed at Showtime had the WGA strike of last year not occurred, with Harris suggesting in June last year that filming on a second season was set to begin in July.

Who is Behind 'Uncoupled'? Close Created by Sex and the City's Star and Modern Family veteran Richman, Uncoupled saw the duo serve as executive producers alongside series' lead Harris, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns. The cast for the series includes alongside the aforementioned pair of Harris and Watkins, Tisha Campbell), Brooks Ashmanskas , Emerson Brooks , Marcia Gay Harden , Nic Rouleau , and Jasai Chase Owens among others.
