The comedy Welcome to Flatch has been canceled after two seasons at Fox, with the February 2 finale now serving as the show’s last episode.
Per Deadline, Fox shared the following statement via a spokesperson: “While audience response was not as strong as we had hoped, we were thrilled with the creativity of the enormously talented Jenny Bicks and Paul Feig, as well as the outstanding, dedicated cast and crew they assembled. We look forward to collaborating with them again in the future and are thankful for all of our partners at Lionsgate, Jenny’s Perkins Street Productions, Paul’s Feigco Entertainment, BBC Studios’ Angie Stephenson, and Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper.”
What Was Welcome to Flatch About?
“When a documentary crew sets out to explore the lives of residents in a small American town – their dreams, their concerns – they stumble upon the midwestern town of Flatch, which is made up of many eccentric personalities, per the official synopsis. “It’s a place you want to visit and maybe even stay. If there was a decent motel. Which there is not.”
“The documentary crew finds worthy subjects in cousins and best friends Kelly (newcomer Holmes) and Llyod (Sam Straley, The Kids Are Alright) who let the documentary crew in on their lives and local current events. Father Joe (Seann William Scott, Lethal Weapon, American Pie franchise) is the local minister who also attempts to guide Kelly and Shrub. He moved to Flatch with his former girlfriend, Cheryl (Aya Cash, The Boys, You’re The Worst), who is the editor of the local newspaper, The Flatch Patriot.”
The series, which is based on the British show This Country, also included Justin Linville, Taylor Ortega, Krystal Smith, and Jamie Pressly.
The series is produced by Lionsgate, BBC Studios’ Los Angeles production arm, and FOX Entertainment. It is executive-produced by Perkins Street Productions’ Bicks, Feigco Entertainment’s Feig, BBC Studios’ Angie Stephenson, and Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper, who created the original BBC series.
