Like The New Normal and Partners before it, another gay-themed US sitcom falls before it even got to a second season. In this case production has been shut down on Sean Hayes’ Sean Saves The World after only 12 episodes have aired, with another two in the can.
It effectively means its been cancelled, although NBC hasn’t officially made that announcement yet. The network had ordered 18 episoded, but took the decision to cease production on the final four.
The show followed Hayes as a gay dad who’s recently been given full-time care of his daughter, Ellie, and must now raise her as child as a single father.
It’s not known if NBC plans to air the two remaining episodes or not – there’s a good chance they won’t , as the show would have been on hiatus for the Winter Olympics anyway, so this would allow them to give it a clean break.
However NBC isn’t completely giving up on everything gay, because as we reported yesterday, they’ve just ordered a pilot for a comedy about a lesbian who gets pregnant just as her straight male best friend gets married.
