FOX Cancels LA TO VEGAS After First Season

According to Entertainment Weekly, LA TO VEGAS has been grounded. FOX has canceled the freshman airplane-based comedy, the network confirmed to EW.

The series starred Dylan McDermott as a cocksure pilot relegated to flying on a lower-tier airline and centered on the flight crew and passengers on the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route. The show premiered in the fall and quickly brought viewers the much-anticipated screen share between Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney. It even earned an order of three additional episodes earlier this year.

The series, which counts Will Ferrell and Steven Levitan among its executive producers, remained on the renewal/cancellation bubble during upfronts, with talk of Ferrell appearing on the show in season 2. Alas, Fox, which is in the midst of a rebranding and scheduling overall, did not move forward. It has been a bloody time for FOX comedies, as the network also axed Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Last Man on Earth, and The Mick.

The cast also included Kim Matula, Peter Stormare, Ed Weeks, Nathan Lee Graham, and Olivia Macklin.
