Netflix Cancels The Big Show Show
The World's Largest Family Sitcom scrapped after one season.
The Big Show Show is dead, long live The Big Show Show.
Deadline is reporting that Netflix will not be renewing the former WWE Champion's family sitcom for a second series, though a special Christmas episode will air this December has planned. The report states that the streaming platform had already filmed said special after making their decision to can season number two.
Rather than acting as a grand finale, The Big Show Show's Christmas special is a standalone produced before the onset of the ongoing global health crisis.
The Big Show Show's original eight-episode run hit Netflix all at once on 6 April, with the 'World's Largest Athlete' starring as a family man struggling to adapt to normal life following his pro-wrestling retirement. The series met mixed critical reviews, with IGN's Matt Fowler stating that while it had "the potential to be either wholly terrible or fully great," it ended up lying "somewhere in between as Big Show proves himself to be an amiable, glowing, towering family man capable of carrying multi-cam sitcom shenanigans."
Big Show's last WWE appearance came on the 20 July episode of Raw, where he was defeated by Randy Orton.
