HBO’s Cancels The Duplass Brothers’ “Togetherness” After Two Seasons

March 26, 2016

Who knows–maybe it’ll get revived years later?

In a TV season that has been full of renewals, it’s unfortunate to hear that one of the few cancellations is of Togetherness over at HBO.

The Duplass Brothers did bring a dramedy that focuses on adults still figuring out adulthood into a sort of an increasingly crowded field of Transparent, You’re The Worst, Louie, Catastrophe, but we still thought Togetherness was a very solid series from Mark and Jay Duplass.

Don’t fret too much as both of them have plenty of stuff in the works (remember that Jay stars in Transparent too).
