Question: I am still incredibly bummed that ABC canceled Stumptown. Is it gone for good? —Pete
Matt Roush: I’ve seen no updates since the proverbial “being shopped around” reports at the time of cancellation. The longer time passes and actors and producers move on to new projects, the less likely are the odds of a rescue. Never say never, but for now, consider Stumptown truly canceled. And yes, I’m bummed, too. (But even more so to have it confirmed that the new version of One Day at a Time appears to have finally run out of lifelines.)
Question: I haven’t seen if HBO has renewed We Are Who We Are for a second season. Do you have any update? — Unsigned
Matt Roush: No news since last month’s finale. It hasn’t been renewed or canceled at this point. It has been reported that series creator Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name)
has created a bible of an outline for a second season, should it happen — which I expect it will — but he has other projects lined up and it’s unclear when this could happen, if it happens. It might be even more interesting if there were a significant time jump between seasons to revisit these unsettled and provocative characters at a new stage in their emotional journeys.
