Showtime cancels "Ziwe" after two seasons, orders new comedy "Seasoned" starring Mandy Patinkin.

Showtime has canceled the late-night comedy show, Ziwe, after two seasons. Creator Ziwe Fumudoh rose to fame during the pandemic for her hot-button Q&As with previously "canceled" celebrities. Showtime is focusing on new programming in the thread of "franchises, diverse cultures, and antiheroes" under Chris McCarthy's purview. With the cancellation of Ziwe, Showtime is officially out of the late-night space and is instead hoping to capitalize on the cinematic universe phase of programming with spinoffs of Billions, Dexter, and Yellowjackets.
