The fan favorite talk show, Ziwe, has been cancelled after two seasons at Showtime.
Ziwe has joined a growing list of Showtime shows to be placed on the chopping block as Deadline reveals that the network has canceled the show after two seasons. Season 2 wrapped in December of last year and its renewal seemed increasingly unlikely following the arrival of Showtime's new boss Chris McCarthy who is currently in the middle of overhauling the network's slate which will ultimately see it rebranded as Paramount+ with Showtime.
Ziwe premiered on Showtime in May 2021 and was hosted by comedian, Ziwe Fumudoh an internet sensation who broke into stardom during the pandemic thanks to her viral interviews with several celebrities. On Showtime, many more were introduced to Fumudoh's delightfully blunt but satirical approach to interviewing which made the show an instant hit.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What Ziwe's Cancelation Means For Showtime McCarthy has clearly stated that he is steering the network in a completely different direction than previously known. With the cancelation of Ziwe, Showtime has completely removed itself from the business of late-night talk-show as Ziwe was the last late-night talk show standing following the end of Desus & Mero which wrapped in June 2022.
A few months ago, the network booted a set of already completed shows including Three Women and Ripley which were eventually shopped to Starz and Netflix respectively. That said, the network is equally in the process of onboarding new shows that fit into its new direction. Deadline also revealed that the network has ordered a new comedy show titled Seasoned which will star real-life married couple, Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody.
