ABC’s cancels the show Downward Dog. The last show will air Tuesday night, executive producer Jimmy Miller said Friday.
ABC “loved it creatively and wanted to do more, but could not figure out a way to get it done financially,” Miller said in a statement. Miller thanked critics and viewers who have expressed their support for the comedy, and said he hoped it would land on its feet elsewhere. “Clearly this show has hit a nerve, and we are hell bent on finding a new home for our Downward Dog,” he said.
Co-creator of the show and the voice of ‘Martin’ the dog Samm Hodges tweeted news of the cancellation Friday.
“Got the very surprising news today that ABC is not moving forward with Downward Dog,” Hodges wrote. “They loved it creatively and really wanted to make more but couldn’t find a financial path to do so.”
