Although the demise of the second season isn’t great information, Stiller does offer a silver side to the story and that’s the fact that the show will not be taken off the air in the future.
“Unlike other streaming companies these days I’ve been told that they won’t take any shows off. Therefore, you will be able to enjoy the first season forever,” writes Stiller.
