The highly acclaimed comedy series Flatbush Misdemeanors, created by Kevin Iso and Dan Perlman, will not be returning for a third season on Showtime. The announcement was released three weeks after the second season of the series came to an end.
Naturally, the show's Twitter fans did not take the news well and slammed Showtime, expressing their disappointment at the network while also urging other platforms to pick up and renew the series in due course of time.

Actor Dan Perlman, who stars in the show, responded to the cancelation with a lengthy Instagram post, where he wrote:
"I'm incredibly proud of what we were able to do with this show. Me and Kevin made three episodes of a zero-budget web series and we were able to turn it into two seasons of a show on Showtime that people really loved."
Flatbush Misdemeanors chronicles the narratives of two youngsters from Brooklyn attempting to navigate through the challenges of contemporary life without going broke. The show earned high praise from both critics and audiences.
Needless to say, the news of its discontinuation sparked considerable anger among viewers. However, Twitter users also refused to give up and urged other networks to bring back the comedy series, thus keeping alive hopes about the show's renewal.
