The Big Show Show Canceled at Netflix After Season 1

Netflix has decided not to move forward with The Big Show Show season 2, cancelling its multi-camera family sitcom featuring the eponymous WWE superstar Paul ‘The Big Show’ Wight. Created by Josh Bycel and Jason Berger, The Big Show Show starred the titular wrestling sensation Big Show as a fictionalized version of himself, who after his retirement is trying to adjust into a normal life with his wife (Allison Munn) and three daughters (Reylynn Caster, Juliet Donenfeld, and Lily Brooks O’Briant). The Big Show Show premiered on Netflix April 6, and its lead star was quite enthusiastic about scoring a renewal.

Deadline has, however, reported that Netflix canceled The Big Show Show, along with another multi-cam comedy Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love. The shows will still air standalone Christmas-themed episodes in December, which they had taped prior to the pandemic. The Christmas specials do not continue the storylines from the previous episodes, and neither do they serve as the shows’ finales. But they do provide fans a final chance to witness their favorite comedic heroes on screen. The exact premiere dates of these specials are yet to be announced.

The Big Show Show’s cast members had recently appeared in Netflix’s Game On: A Comedy Crossover Event, inspiring hope about a season renewal. But Netflix’s straight-to-series model and its penchant for single-cam comedies made it hard for the feel-good sitcom to survive. In the past, Netflix has notoriously pulled the plug off celebrated sitcoms like The Ranch, Disjointed, One Day at a Time, and Alexa & Katie. Hence The Big Show Show’s cancellation doesn’t really come as a surprise. The sitcom’s cancellation, nevertheless, is a reinforcement of Netflix’s bias towards traditional and optimistic TV comedies.
