Jon Stewart’s Emmy-nominated talk series will no longer return to Apple TV+ for a third season, due to reported “creative differences” between the comedian and the streamer surrounding potential topics.
The decision to part ways was reportedly reached earlier this week, with the show’s staff finding out on Thursday that the show would not be returning for a third season, weeks before taping was set to begin. The tension reportedly stemmed from Stewart and Apple executives butting heads about topics the show would cover in its third season, including AI, China, and the forthcoming 2024 election.
The series debuted six years after Stewart’s storied 16-year run as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, which saw the comedian transform the low-rated political comedy series into a cultural force, turning him into one of the nation’s leading voices in media and politics in the process. The Problem With Jon Stewart initially began as a biweekly show, later switching to a weekly format.
