Showtime has announced that it has pulled the plug on its Jim Carrey-led half-hour comedy series Kidding, cancelling the show after two seasons.
“After two seasons, Kidding has concluded its run on Showtime,” reads the official statement We are very proud to have aired this imaginative, critically acclaimed and rewarding series, and we would like to thank Jim Carrey, Dave Holstein, Michael Aguilar, Michel Gondry and the entire cast and crew for their brilliant and tireless work.”
Created by Dave Holstein and executive produced by Carrey and his Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind writer-director Michel Gondry, Kidding sees Carrey playing Jeff Piccirillo, ak.a. beloved children’s television presenter Mr. Pickles, who finds himself facing a family tragedy.
Despite critical acclaim and a pair of Golden Globe nominations, Kidding struggled in the ratings, with its season two finale viewed by just 54,000 in live-plus-same-day ratings.
