According to Deadline, Apple TV+ has officially decided not to renew creator and star Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s comedy-drama Mr. Corman for a second season. The cancellation comes after the series had just concluded its 10-episode debut season last Friday. The series was actually Gordon-Levitt’s first major TV project as the lead after only appearing as a supporting character in TV shows and TV films during the beginning of his career.

Mr. Corman was created, written, and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who also starred in the comedy-drama. Joining him were Arturo Castro, Debra Winger, Bobby Hall aka Logic, Alexander Jo, Juno Temple, Jamie Chung, Shannon Woodward, and Hector Hernandez.
“The series follows the days and nights of Josh Corman, an artist at heart but not by trade,” reads the synopsis. “A career in music hasn’t panned out, and he teaches fifth grade at a public school in the San Fernando Valley. His ex-fiancé Megan has moved out, and his high school buddy Victor has moved in. He knows he has a lot to be thankful for, but finds himself struggling nevertheless through anxiety, loneliness and a sinking suspicion that he sucks as a person. Darkly funny, oddly beautiful and deeply heartfelt, this relatable dramedy speaks for our contemporary generation of 30-somethings: rich with good intentions, poor with student loans, and yearning to become real grown-ups sometime before they die.”
