Netflix is ​​canceling the sitcom “Unstable,” based on Rob Lowe’s son

In absolutely shocking TV news today: Rob Lowe had a two-season sitcom on Netflix! And there is slightly less shocking news – given our surprise at it First News – this series, Unstablehas now been cancelled.

That’s pro deadlinewhich reports that Lowe’s Unstablewhich he starred in and produced with his son John Owen Lowe, has been axed after two seasons on the streamer. The series about a young man who lives in the shadow of his far more successful but also far more eccentric father started in March 2023 and then ran its second season in August 2024; Viewership numbers for Netflix content are always a little suspect, but at no point did the show’s second season make it into the streamer’s self-reported top 10, which probably didn’t bode well for the future.

And while we’re joking Unstable for being completely forgotten (seriously, we are). not I remember seeing advertisements for this thing in his final moments. It seems notable that the series seemed to offer something to people not deeply invested in the idea that the Lowe family is externalizing…something…here – so see Better off, Ted Creator Victor Fresco returns to an absurd work environment – was jettisoned in the second season and Fresco replaced by new showrunner Andrew Gurland. The show’s producers have reportedly been shopping around “quietly,” but stale streaming comedies are inherently difficult to sell, and the only linear network where Lowe has decent traction (Fox, where he has a development). Deal) has apparently already been completed.
