Netflix Cancels Michelle Wolf Show

Canceled
Netflix has canceled The Break With Michelle Wolf and The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale; neither of the talk shows will make it to a second season. Their brief runs are the latest example of Netflix’s struggle to deliver a show in this format that can draw eyes and maintain regular viewership.

According to The Verge, The company ended Chelsea Handler’s weekly talk show — its first real foray into the genre — last October after two seasons. Chelsea initially aired three nights each week before moving to a once-weekly schedule.

Each of The Break with Michelle Wolf’s 10 episodes debuted weekly. The show began streaming in May, not long after Wolf’s controversial and profile-raising performance as host of the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner. Wolf has served as a contributor and writer on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Late Night with Seth Meyers.

She was recently nominated for an Emmy for her HBO special Nice Lady.
