Adult Swim Cancels a TV Show After Three Seasons

Joe Pera Talks with You has been canceled after three seasons at the network.

The news was revealed in his own newsletter: “The more I learn how TV works, the more I realize that it’s kind of a miracle that our quiet, 11-minute show about rocks, beans, grocery stores, and breakfast crews got on the air and lasted as long as it did,” he wrote.

The 11-minute series first launched in 2018 as an animated short, followed by a live-action short. The third season aired between November and December of last year.

The series follows the 33-year-old comedian as a fictional version of himself, living in Michigan and teaching choir at a middle school. He speaks to the audience Mr Rogers style about mundane subjects throughout the series.

“We were driving home from Bethlehem, PA the morning after my final Spring Tour show when I got a call that it wouldn’t be renewed for another season. “‘Ok, I know what to do’ I thought, and stopped the car for some fast food. It was a lot to process, especially after meeting so many of you on the road who were so enthusiastic about it,” he wrote in the letter.

“A sincere thank you to everyone who made the show possible. To the many people who worked on it and gave so much of their talent and hard work to it. That especially includes the crew in Milwaukee, many of whom have been with the show from the start. And thank you for watching and supporting the show and helping it get as far as it did.”

Netflix also just announced that a string of shows are being cancelled.
