Melissa McCarthy-Produced TV Land Comedy NOBODIES Cancelled After Two Seasons

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Viacom-owned TV Land and Paramount Network have canceled the Melissa McCarthy- and Ben Falcone-produced scripted comedy NOBODIES after two seasons.

The series was inspired by the real lives of writers Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras (Adult Swim's Mike Tyson's Mysteries), who watched as their friends from the Los Angeles-based improv and sketch comedy troupe The Groundlings went on to star in blockbuster comedies and win OSCARS while they toiled away in Hollywood.

Developed by Keith Cox for TV Land, the single-camera comedy earned a second-season renewal ahead of its premiere last year. After bowing on the niche cable network, NOBODIES averaged a little more than 400,000 total viewers (with three days of DVR). As part of Viacom's push to create a general entertainment HUB in Paramount Network - which is now also overseen by Cox - NOBODIES was upgraded to the former Spike TV.

"Nobodies" is a creation of Emmy Award winner Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf & Rachel Ramras, and a Jax Media Production for TV Land. The popular series is about three friends: Larry, Rachel and Hugh - who are actors /comedians trying to get their script made by pulling favors from their famous friends like Melissa McCarthy, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Ben Falcone, in hopes of scoring their big break in Hollywood. Iris as "Lizzie Martinez" definitely mixes things up a bit. One will have to tune in to see how she does that. Lizzie is Hugh's former flame.
