“Rutherford Falls” canceled after two seasons

After two seasons on Peacock, it looks like Rutherford Falls is coming to an end.

The series, which was created by Sierra Teller Ornelas, Ed Helms, and Mike Schur starred Helms and Jana Schmieding. The show is apparently trying to find a home on other platform.

“It’s been a true joy to make these two seasons of Rutherford Falls,” Ornelas said in a statement. “Mike Schur, Ed Helms and I set out to make something new, real, and smart—but also dumb—that made you cry and think, but also laugh when Reagan got kicked in the face or Nathan was stuffed into a coffin. Borrowing a line from Terry Thomas, played by the ridiculously talented Michael Greyeyes, before our show, “Native representation [was], for the most part, a hate crime.” Which is why it’s been an honor to introduce the best of Indian Country to the masses.”

The statement continues, “We remain overwhelmed by the critical response, garnering a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score in our second season, and while we’re sad that our time at Peacock has come to an end we are immensely grateful to them for picking us up and showcasing the talents of comedy legend Ed Helms and breakout stars like Jana Schmieding, Jesse Leigh, Dana Wilson, Dallas Goldtooth, Kaniehtiio Horn, and many others. We love these characters, the world we created, and the impact it has had, and will be exploring other platforms where, hopefully, the folks of Rutherford Falls can call home.“

Despite Schur’s proven track-record, the show did seem to struggle to find an audience. But hopefully they’ll be able to bring the show elsewhere.
