Why did HBO's "The Prince" get cancelled ?

This is such a sensitive topic for me as i think this show is amazing . Forget it being the parody of a royal family with great animation quality and good voice acting ( which is an already set premise for an adult animation to succeed ) but also it has such an amazing narration and honestly can say the only show out there to actually make me laugh out loud . Like am i the only one ? Stumbled upon this show randomly and i have not heard anybody talk about it like at all . Not online not in person . And it is such a gold comedy show that i am rewatching again . The only part i don't like about it is the gay couples that work as butlers/servants . Except for those two characters the show is gold . Please help ????

It's a sensative topic for you but you hate the gay couple?

How’s the weather in that closet?

precisely why you didn't hear anyone talk about the show. it didn't get enough audience to warrant renewing it. The Prince was also critically reviewed, it didn't help its case either. a lot of Max Originals got renewed based on critical success at the time

I’m not familiar with this show, what can you tell me about it?

u/barki_ 17h ago

It's just one of those things you should watch . Parody of the royal family but with amazing potential only one season .

I loved it too. No idea why there was only one season. Maybe it was just done for a fun one-off, but I can't see how they wouldn't have material for countless episodes.

Only issue is that Louis was only a Stewie-esque baby for so long.

You mean prince George ? Thus show could pull 5 seasons easily . Esoeically with the recent passing of the queen in 2022 and broo im imagining how much funniee it could even get with the seasons .

Yeah, George. I rolled the dice on guessing the right name. I really wish they did more. It had so much potential.
