SUBURGATORY: Emily Kapnek on the Possibility of it Being Revived

SUBURGATORY — one of the sweetest, most heartfelt comedies on television — was canceled in May by ABC, but rumors surfaced shortly after that its studio, Warner Bros., was looking to find it a new home.

After the Television Critics Association press tour panel for Kapnek’s new ABC comedy, SELFIE, she was asked about the status of SUBURGATORY, but sadly, the news isn’t great.

“I keep checking [the trades],” Kapnek joked. “I don’t know. Honestly, it’s so hard for me: I’m so excited about COMMUNITY [returning], I’m so excited for ENLISTED [being in talks for a revival]. Ultimately, it’s a decision that Warner Bros. is in control of. And it has to make sense for them as a business model. It’s tough. I wish I could say I had more hope at this point, but…I really don’t know.”

Which Newly Canceled Shows Are You Going to Miss the Most?

As we say goodbye to the 2013-2014 television season (and look ahead to the 2014-2015 season), there is the unfortunate fact that as per usual we had to say goodbye to a lot of shows. Some were planned (BREAKING BAD, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, etc.), and others…not so much.

Television is kind of a crazy medium to get invested in. For (most) books and movies, there’s a set beginning, middle, and end for each story, so even if only five people actually view it, the full story is still there. Not so much in TV. Even long-running shows can be canceled at the drop of a hat, and the number of series that get to end things wholly on their own terms still is minimal.

Suburgatory | 8:30pm on ABC

Series finale: When Tessa joins a knitting circle, George is a little surprised by the age gap between Tessa and her new friends. Still reeling from his one-night stand, George decides to put pen to paper and writes a song dedicated to his muse. Meanwhile, newlyweds Malik and Lisa can’t seem to get along.

ABC Cancels SUBURGATORY

While ABC isn’t commenting on the matter, multiple reports are saying the network has opted to cancel SUBURGATORY.

Personally, I’m bummed to lose Chatswin, and all the great characters that inhabited it, but how about you?

SUBURGATORY: Emily Kapnek Teases Season 3

SUBURGATORY fans had to wait a little bit longer than usual for the comedy to return, but now the charming show is back and as hilarious as ever. (Plus, tonight’s episode features the return of Parker Young’s Ryan Shay!)

I spoke with SUBURGATORY boss Emily Kapnek about the season’s delay, and what’s to come…

SUBURGATORY’s Alan Tudyk and Rex Lee to Exit

SUBURGATORY is going to undergo a bit of a casting shakeup when it returns for its upcoming (and unscheduled) third season: in addition to Malin Ackerman (Alex) and Parker Young (Ryan) landing new shows, and a source confirms that Alan Tudyk (Noah) and Rex Lee (Mr. Wolfe) are on their way out. (Deadline was first to report Tudyk and Lee’s exit.)

The good news? There’s still the potential for all of the actors to guest star, but I have to admit, I’m bummed to lose so many great actors (specifically Tudyk, Lee, and Young, who had bigger roles in the show). After all, you’d think George would need his BFF post-breakup with Dallas, and Tessa and Lisa have another year of high school, so Mr. Wolfe’s absence will be noticeable.

What do you think of Lee and Tudyk being dropped from SUBURGATORY?

SUBURGATORY: Emily Kapnek on Directing the Season Finale, George’s Struggles, the Tessa-Dalia Fight, and More

SUBURGATORY is one of the few shows that can easily (and naturally) shift from absolutely wacky to crushing heartbreak, so it’s only appropriate that tonight’s special one-hour season finale brings a little bit of all of those emotions into play.
