FX Cancels TWO TV Shows in One Week

Date:

FX cancels Denis Leary’s comedy series Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll and Tyrant.

Following the success of Atlanta, it looks as though FX is cleaning up shop to make room for new and original programming.

According to reports, Denis Leary’s comedy series Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was canceled after 2 seasons. In the show, Leary played Johnny Rock, a former rock star who is struggling to make a comeback in the recording industry. It was Leary’s FX follow-up to Rescue Me, which was a commercial success that ran for seven seasons.

In addition, FX canceled Tyrant and according to The Hollywood Reporter, FX was considering canceling the TV series after it’s second season. “We knew after the second year and were really aware that for a show we felt so strongly about — and the fan base felt so strongly about — that the numbers weren’t commensurate with the base for the show,” Salke told THR on Wednesday of the pricey drama.

And that makes a lot of sense considering last week’s episode had less than 1 million viewers.
