FXX Cancels ‘Man Seeking Woman’

FXX has canceled Man Seeking Woman after three seasons.

The network made the announcement on Tuesday, citing poor performance as the reason the off-beat comedy wasn’t moving forward.

According to the network, the 10-episode third season averaged 367,000 total viewers and 268,000 adults 18-49 in live+7 numbers.

Baruchel tweeted about the news shortly after it broke.
