Apple TV+ has canceled its animated comedy series Central Park after three seasons, according to star Josh Gad.

The show’s co-creator and lead voice cast star made the announcement on social media that the series will not return for a fourth season when he responded to a fan’s inquiry with “Sadly, it’s done” on social media. Apple confirmed that the series is not returning.

Central Park featured a voice cast that included Gad, Leslie Odom Jr., Emmy Raver-Lampman, Kathryn Hahn, Tituss Burgess and Stanley Tucci. The series recast Kristen Bell’s biracial character with Emmy Raver-Lampman after a backlash.

I didn’t even know this series existed. And I probably would’ve watched it.

I worry Apple TV’s biggest issue is marketing. They have some phenomenal shows, but very few break into the mainstream. Really just Ted Lasso on any kind of massive scale.

Part of this is Apple’s stuck-up-ness and refusal to make good Android and AndroidTV apps for years. But not all of it.
