Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Season 2 Canceled at Netflix After 1 Season
In a surprising move, Netflix has announced the cancellation of its comedy series "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" after just one season. The show, which premiered on Netflix in April 2022, was a semi-autobiographical comedy inspired by the life of Adam Devine, who starred as the lead character.
The series followed the story of Brian Douglas, a loving but awkward father who is trying to navigate his way through parenting and his own life. The show was praised for its humor, relatability, and heartfelt moments, but unfortunately, it failed to gain enough traction to warrant a second season.
Netflix has not released an official statement regarding the cancellation, but insiders close to the production have confirmed that the decision was made due to low viewership and mixed reviews. Despite its positive reception from critics, the show struggled to attract a large audience, leading to a cancellation after just 10 episodes.
"Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" was a passion project for Adam Devine, who wrote, executive produced, and starred in the show. Devine drew inspiration from his own experiences as a father and aimed to create a comedy that would resonate with parents and non-parents alike. The show also featured a talented ensemble cast, including Elisha "EJ" Williams, Katrina Begin, and Blake Anderson.
While the cancellation of "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" may come as a disappointment to fans of the show, it’s not uncommon for Netflix to cancel shows after a single season. The streaming giant has a reputation for taking risks on unique and innovative content, but ultimately, the decision to cancel a show is often based on viewership numbers and profitability.
Despite the cancellation, Adam Devine has expressed gratitude to fans of the show and is already looking forward to his next project. In a statement on social media, Devine wrote, "I want to thank everyone who watched, shared, and supported ‘Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!’ I’m so proud of what we created and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have shared my story with the world."
Fans of the show will likely miss the humor and heart of "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!", but there’s always hope that Adam Devine will find another project that will resonate with audiences. In the meantime, we can only hope that the show’s cancellation won’t stop Devine from pursuing his passion for comedy and storytelling.
