And now the promising workplace comedy starring father-and-son duo Rob and John Lowe is also calling it quits. As expected, viewers are curious to know why the show was cut short after its second season.

Here's everything we know about why Netflix canceled Unstable and whether there's a chance the series will return.
A recent report indicates that Netflix has decided to cancel Unstable due to unsatisfactory viewership. Whether a show is renewed for another season is determined by its performance based on viewership versus production costs.
According to Deadline, the second season of Unstable opened with low viewership and failed to make it into Netflix’s Top 10. This means that season 2 failed to reach 1.4 million viewers in its opening weekend. It failed to reach 1.3 million viewers in its first full week. Due to such poor performance, Netflix executives have decided not to greenlight a season 3 of Unstable.
