It’s one network at a time for “One Day at a Time.”
The Latino-fashioned reboot of the Norman Lear 1970s classic sitcom has been canceled at Pop.
This now marks the second cancellation for the series starring Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winning legend Rita Morena, Justina Machado, Isabella Gomez, Marcel Ruiz, Todd Grinnell and Stephen Tobolowsky.
“One Day at a Time” was initially canceled at Netflix in early 2019 after three seasons.
Pop brought the show back to life a few months later and began airing Season 4 in early 2020.
According to an insider, series producer Sony Pictures Television will shop the series to other outlets yet again, Variety reported.
Pop, now owned by ViacomCBS, is reportedly ending its scripted series plans. “One Day at a Time” and the final season of Emmy Award-winning “Schitt’s Creek” were the two remaining scripted shows at the digital cable channel.
Before pulling the plug, “One Day at a Time” was given a push by with the show being simulcast on two ViacomCBS networks, Pop and TV Land during its fourth season run. In October, CBS also aired episodes of the acclaimed series.
For the new iteration, “One Day At A Time” follows three generations of a Cuban-American family consisting of a newly-single mom and military veteran, her two strong-willed children and her old-school mother.
Lear served as executive producer along with Michael Garcia and Brent Miller.
Considered groudbreaking at the time, the original series series aired on CBS from 1975 until 1984 and starred Bonnie Franklin as a divorced mother raising two teenage daughters, played by Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli in Indianapolis.
