The Moodys Cancelled at Fox

Fox has cancelled the Denis Leary-fronted family sitcom The Moodys after two seasons, TVLine has learned. A network source confirms that the series will not be back for a third season.

The Moodys kicked off Season 2 in early April, but was pulled from the network’s schedule after only five episodes. It returned earlier this month with its final string of episodes; the series finale airs this Sunday at 9:30/8:30c.

Adapted from the Australian series A Moody Christmas and starring Leary, Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds) and Jay Baruchel (Man Seeking Woman), The Moodys follows a tight-knit, but slightly dysfunctional, family through their misadventures. Whereas the first, six-episode season was set at Christmastime, Season 2 does not revolve around a holiday.

The Moodys‘ freshman run averaged nearly 2 million total viewers and almost a 0.5 demo rating in December 2019. Season 2’s first five episodes, which aired on Thursday nights, averaged 1.1 mil and a 0.3 — but with a midseason move to Sundays, those tallies dropped to barely 500K and a 0.15 rating. Out of all the scripted shows Fox has aired this TV season, it only fared better than the puppet comedy Let’s Be Real.
