Showtime has canceled comedies Black Monday and Work in Progress, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The cancellations will leave Showtime with a small roster of half-hour scripted series, including Back to Life, Flatbush Misdemeanors, and the upcoming The Curse.
Black Monday, which aired for three seasons, starred Don Cheadle (Iron Man) and Andrew Rannells (Big Mouth), and chronicled the worst stock market crash in the history of Wall Street in October, 1987. The stars also included Regina Hall (Girls Trip), Paul Scheer (The League), and Casey Wilson (Happy Endings).
“We can confirm that Black Monday will not be moving forward with a fourth season,” Showtime said in a statement, via The Hollywood Reporter.” Don Cheadle, Regina Hall, Andrew Rannells, Paul Scheer and Casey Wilson led a fantastic cast, and we are grateful to Jordan Cahan, David Caspe and all who worked on the show for three hilarious seasons.”
Work in Progress, which starred Abby McEnany (Nice Shirt), Theo Germaine (The Politician), and Karin Anglin (Teacher), followed a 45-year-old Abby who becomes involved in a vibrantly transformative relationship after suffering a series of misfortunes.
“We are incredibly proud of the two seasons of Work in Progress and were thrilled to spotlight the enormous talents of Abby McEnany, Lilly Wachowsky and the entire cast and creative team,” the ViacomCBS outlet said, via The Hollywood Reporter. We look forward to having our subscribers continue to discover this special series on Showtime’s streaming platforms for years to come.”
