TBS's late-night talk show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has reportedly been canceled after seven successful seasons. One of the most popular shows on the network, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, became a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to its host's charming and charismatic personality, which elevated it to new heights and the show's refreshing style and approach.
The series was renewed for a seventh season last September, and it premiered on January 20, 2022. With all that said, read on to find out more details about why it has been axed.
Why was the weekly late-night series Full Front with Samantha Bee canceled?
A TBS representative mentioned in a statement (obtained via Deadline) that Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been canceled. The spokesperson said that the network has ''made some difficult, business-based decisions.'' Take a look at the complete statement below:
''As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions. Full Frontal With Samantha Bee will not return to TBS. We are proud to have been the home to Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work. We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future.''
The official Twitter account of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee shared a tweet expressing their gratitude to their ''loyal audience'' and their ''amazing team.''
