We picked that show up a few years ago with a two-season commitment really before we honed into this premium female strategy. “ it was a very complicated show, it was a very male show. Justin is a great writer, and we really, really liked working with him,” Hirsch said. “Counterpart, again, great show with our partners at MRC. IndieWire has reached out to Araki for comment.Īttracting the female demo was also a factor in “Counterpart” being canceled. No specific ratings were provided for the series on Friday, though Hirsch did say Araki’s show did not serve the network’s core audience of female viewers. The genre-bending half-hour series averaged just over 89,000 viewers in linear viewership over Season 1, but it was meant to serve younger viewers on Starz’s streaming audience. “But we have made a decision not to bring it back.” It was really … a good experiment,” COO Jeffrey Hirsch said Friday afternoon. “‘Now Apocalypse’ great show, as we all know and saw. “Now Apocalypse” plays like the kind of show that can only benefit from a decadent binge.“ Now Apocalypse,” Gregg Araki’s first television series that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, has been canceled after one season at Starz.

She, however, wants him to consider an open relationship. His pals think it is terrible, but have they been to the cineplex lately?
