Ziwe Canceled on Showtime

Showtime cancels nighttime talk show Ziwe after two seasons...

From The Hollywood Reporter 

The Chris McCarthy era at Showtime has claimed another victim.

The premium cable network, which was added to the Paramount Global exec’s purview last year, has canceled late night talk show Ziwe after two seasons. Additionally, Showtime has made decisions on two of its three comedy pilots, handing out a series order to Mandy Patinkin family comedy Seasoned while passing on The Wood. What’s more, the original movie Heist 88 starring Courtney B. Vance, has moved from Paramount+ to Showtime.

The Wood, which has been passed over, was also prepped before McCarthy’s arrival and followed a group of Black friends in Inglewood, California.

With the cancellation of Ziwe, Showtime is officially out of the late night space. The cabler’s Desus & Mero wrapped last year after the duo split up.
