Deadline is reporting that HBO MAX has canceled Close Enough after three seasons. This comes the same week as HBO MAX has officially removed Final Space from it’s lineup which continues a slow purge of animated series from Adult Swim-related pages including JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales and Dream Corp LLC (still on Hulu) being taken off of the brand’s website and affiliate e-tailers like iTunes and Google Play.
The moves come as WB Discovery continues it’s merge which is having all sorts of issues with the back-end new media deals which has already changed numerous hands in the last couple of years which isn’t helping anyone.
Final Space has had a rocky number of years as any. Originally ordered by Kevin Reilly in his vow to have more adult animation produced for TBS, Close Enough was ordered with the likes of Final Space, The COPS, and Tarantula. Well, The Cops was canceled as a result of Louis CK’s sexual misconduct allegations, Tarantula was buried on a TBS network that had already stopped caring, leaving Close Enough and Final Space as the only two series that got renewals. Earlier this year, Final Space was announced for cancellation, leaving just Close Enough as the only original series left from this era.
