As The Massive Bang Concept’s streaming spinoff continues coming collectively, the sitcom’s famous person solid members fortunately proceed crossing paths in different universes. It was simply yesterday that we realized Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg are teaming up once more on NBC’s Night time Court docket, and on the exact same day, a brand new advert hit the net with real-life buddies Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki, who moved from Hollywood to Tennessee years in the past.
Sadly, that glorious and surprising reunion between the Penny and Leonard portrayers was buoyed by the unlucky information that Cuoco’s newest streaming effort has been canceled. Let’s tackle this extra unfavourable information first earlier than diving into happier occasions.
Based mostly On A True Story Canceled After Two Seasons
Nicely forward of Kaley Cuoco’s twisty thriller The Flight Attendant getting the ax at Max, she branched her abilities out to Peacock for the podcast-centric comedy thriller Based mostly on a True Story, reverse The Mindy Mission vet Chris Messina. The primary season debuted in 2023 to sufficient widespread acclaim to spark a second-season renewal a couple of months later.
By and enormous, Season 2 was obtained in a equally optimistic mild by each critics and audiences, as Cuoco and Messina’s Ava and Nathan continued investigating whether or not or not a serial killer is of their rapid midst. And it had a very memorable ending that arrange a doubtlessly deadlier third season. However since Peacock hasn’t ever been up entrance with its viewership totals, it’s unclear how both season has carried out when it comes to complete viewers stats.
So solely assumptions could be made about whether or not these numbers factored into the streaming service execs’ determination to cancel the present, as reported by Selection. The location additionally reported that Peacock additionally canceled Adam Pally and Steph Curry’s comedy Mr. Throwback.
Fortunately, this was removed from the one profession hearth that Kaley Cuoco has been stoking.

Granted, he did it to shift his focus to household life, and seemingly not for any all-around disinterest within the work itself. I can think about that it could be simpler for him to comply with tackle tasks like this when filming on a severely restricted time frame and entails one among his closest former co-stars.
I gotta give it to writer Dream Video games and anybody else concerned for this type of advertising prowess with Royal Kingdom, at the least in the case of attracting gamers from older demographics who might need extra disposable revenue to throw at cellular gaming.
