Netflix Cancels 'Love,' Final Season to Stream in March
"Love" is dead.
Netflix is cancelling the romantic comedy after its upcoming third season, which will begin streaming March 9.
The series was co-created by Judd Apatow, Paul Rust, and Lesley Arfin. It starred Rust as aspiring screenwriter Gus and Gillian Jacobs as radio producer Mickey, who randomly meet in Los Angeles and embark on a rollercoaster relationship. At the end of Season 2, Gus had returned to town from a film project, Mickey had broken things off with her ex, and she and Gus reunited.
"I am really excited about the third season of 'Love.' I think it is our sweetest, funniest season and ends our story in a beautiful way," Apatow said in a statement.
Netflix has been much more brutal with the cancellation knife in recent years. It also recently decided to end its award-winning drama "House of Cards" in the wake of sexual assault allegations against star Kevin Spacey.
