Starz on Wednesday canceled after two seasons and removed the horror comedy starring Courteney Cox from its digital platforms.

(Party Down made a triumphant return to Starz earlier this year for a limited series revival under current CEO Jeff Hirsch.)
Three years later, the network signaled a return to comedy, with Albrech stressing in 2013that the plan was to “tread cautiously” and not “open the floodgates” to half-hour pitches that had been rejected elsewhere.
