EXCLUSIVE: After a long journey across broadcast, cable and streaming, defying the odds multiple times, Nasim Pedrad’s praised coming-of-age comedy series Chad is coming to an end. A spokesperson for the Roku Chanel, which released Chad’s second season, confirmed to Deadline that the streamer will not be proceeding with future seasons.

After a strong ratings debut, ranking as 2021’s No. 1 new scripted cable comedy series, Chad — which also was lauded for breaking racial stereotypes with an authentic representation of immigrant life and Middle Eastern Americans — was renewed for a second season.
