“#Connecting Canceled at NBC<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Viewers will soon lose their, well, connection<\/em> to Connecting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NBC has pulled the pandemic-produced comedy from its Thursday schedule with immedia<\/a>te effect, confirming that the series<\/a> has been canceled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No more episodes will air on NBC, but the final four are set to air on NBCUniversal’s streaming service, Peacock in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \"Zoom<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

The good news<\/a> here is that Peacock has a free offering, but it will all come down to whether Peacock makes these episodes available free.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The series was filmed remotely during the coronavirus pandemic, and followed a group of friends who were forced by quarantine restrictions to only spend time together via video chat.<\/p>\n

The series opener took place on March 29, 2020, at the very beginning of the lockdown.<\/p>\n

\n \"Ben<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

The cast included Otmara Marrero (StartUp), Parvesh Cheena (Outsourced), Ely Henry (Suburgatory) and Keith Powell (30 Rock).<\/p>\n

Blindspot\u2019s Martin Gero served as co-creator and executive producer.<\/p>\n

Connecting Season 1 is averaging a paltry 1.5 million total viewers and a 0.33 rating among adults 18-49 ranking as NBC’s least-watched and lowest-rated script<\/a>ed series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It launched to 1.7 million viewers and a 0.3 rating, but showed a glimmer of hope the next week when it ticked up to a 0.5 rating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \"Catching<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Last week, however, the series slumped out of Superstore, which had almost 3 million viewers and a 0.6 rating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As such, NBC has opted to replace the show with encores of Superstore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Connecting becomes the third scripted series cancellation of the fall season, coming just days after FOX pulled the plug on both Filthy Rich and NeXt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \"Ellis<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Like Connecting, both shows failed to make an impact on the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Networks are expected to make swifter cancellations in the current TV climate due to increased costs associated with COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n
