Big Shot Cancelled at Disney+
It’s two and done for John Stamos’ Big Shot.
The high school basketball dramedy has been cancelled at Disney+, TVLine has confirmed. The news comes four months after the release of Season 2, which dropped in its entirety on Oct. 12.
Additionally, Disney+ has axed The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers after two seasons, which you can read more about here.
Co-created by David E. Kelley, Big Shot centered on Stamos’ Marvyn Korn. After getting ousted from the NCAA, the embattled college basketball coach took a gig at the Westbrook School for Girls, where he’d soon reconnect with his teenage daughter Emma. Jessalyn Gilsig (Glee) co-starred as assistant coach Holley Barrett, while Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) played headmaster Sherilyn Thomas.
The writing was already on the wall for Big Shot. In June, it was reported that the decision to renew the little-watched show might have played a role in the ousting of longtime Disney exec Peter Rice. Additionally, two of the series’ leads have signed on for new shows: Stamos has a role in the Amazon Freevee comedy pilot Open Book, based on the Jessica Simpson memoir of the same name, while Brown is set to star on the Bounce TV multi-cam Act Your Age.
TVLine’s Streaming Scorecard has been updated to reflect Big Shot‘s cancellation. Are you sorry to see it go? Sound off in Comments.
Man that sucks!
Well this was probably the only drama on Disney+ that adults could enjoy that wasn’t Marvel or Star Wars.
That’s disappointing! It was a good show.
I will miss Big Shots so much, I am so so disappointed to see its been canceled, I was looking so forward to season 3:(
My wife and I liked Big shots! Too bad. Season 2 of Mighty Ducks wasn’t great. I doubt I’ll renew for a year since they raised the prices.
It was a great show to watch on tv
That is a real shame. The only reason I signed up for Disney+ was for Big Shot and Mighty Ducks. Now that both are canceled, I can get rid of my monthly Disney subscription.
Big Shot was a fun show. What a waste.
Saw this coming when they did a binge release.
Yeah, that’s what I figured would happen too. The full season drop model was great at first, but as of late that no longer is the case. I personally prefer the 2-3 episode drop model where you still get to binge a few episodes at a time on a weekly basis.
The budget crunch strikes twice in the same day.
That’s too bad. It’s a cute show. There’s no reason an actor can’t participate in more than one project. Reese Witherspoon has shows on Netflix, AppleTV , Hulu and other sites as well and she’s not the only one. Maybe viewership was down because no one expects this kind of show on the Disney app.
NOOOO! So disappointed. Loved that show.. I can cancel Disney + now.
Another good family show bites the dust.
I really liked this show, but when the shortened it to 30 minutes and dropped all the episodes in one day I kind of had a feeling. I will miss this and the Mighty Ducks. At least we got to see Marvin and Holly get together.
That stinks! I loved that show….
Stop trying to make John Stamos happen.
He has more flops than hits. Only one hit.
Let’s not forget his wildly successful Greek yogurt campaigns lol.
🤣🤣
I knew this was the likely outcome but had slightly hoped with the binge on Freeform of Season 1 they’d find a new audience or move over to Freeform which makes sense audience wise. Now I can hope Jessalyn comes back for a bigger role on 1923.
I’m REALLY disappointed too! Loved this show! He plays a fantastic coach, love the girls and the principal too! It was truly a very enjoyable show with very talented acting and great storylines. I’m very sad to see this show go!
Me too
He cannot get a hit show to save his life. Excluding Full House a hundred years ago. Just join one of those never dies procedurals.
He did that with ER for 3 or 4 years
I forgot about that, but do it again and again.
I’m gonna miss big shot it was a good TV show I was praying for a season 3
Still wish they had found a way to use the built in corporate synergy with ESPN and have some of the names in Women’s Basketball make appearances (or hell, even be referenced!). Since the show was set in LA they could have gotten former Los Angeles Sparks star Candace Parker or current Los Angeles Sparks star Nneka Ogwumike to guest star. Or even go with Carolyn Peck/Rebecca Lobo/Holly Rowe from ESPN broadcast making an appearance. They all have pretty impressive social media followings in the world of basketball which could have boosted the target audience for the show which was clearly being ignored.
I liked it and definitely thought it would have a season 3.
Not too surprising, but still makes me sad.
Bummer !!! I Really liked the show and I’m a 63 yr old women. My daughter and I would watch it together and laugh. It was a cute show. That was the only show I would see on Disney Plus. Loved John Stamos. Have seen him when he plays with the Beach Boys at the L.A. Pomona Fair. :(
Very sad news? really enjoyed this show
So disappointed! Loved Big shots maybe somebody else will pick it up!!
Sorry to hear Big Shots was cancelled. My Grandson and I enjoyed watching it together. His first time seeing John Stamos. We liked it and looked forward to watching the show….too bad it got cancelled.
I really enjoyed the show too. My grandson who’s nine and I who just turned 70 would watch it together after he’d get home from school. We were really bummed to see it canceled. It was a cute show and basically a family show except when when Disney has to make sure they give sexual preferences to teenagers instead of just keeping it clean and about school and girls basketball. Gonna miss hat show!
This is very disappointing because I really enjoyed this show. I liked John Stamos in the role of Marvin Korn and the rest of the cast,too.
Vraiment dommage c’était bien ! En plus Pour une fois que je suivais une série …
