TBS cancels The Detour after four seasons

The Hollywood Reporter

The Aug. 20 season finale of the family road trip comedy created by Samantha Bee and husband Jason Jones will also serve as the series finale. The Detour, starring Jones and Natalie Zea, was never a ratings breakout, but it did reach more than 25 million viewers across TBS' linear, VOD and digital platforms in Season 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg. Goldberg adds that the cancelation "arrives as WarnerMedia-owned TBS has continued to re-evaluate the state of scripted fare on the formerly comedy-focused basic cable network. TBS has also canceled comedies Angie Tribeca, Wrecked and People of Earth. Rumors continue to swirl that TBS' originals could move to HBO Max, parent company WarnerMedia's forthcoming streaming service that is overseen by TBS and TNT head Kevin Reilly."
