Be careful because the drift that the US channel Showtime is taking with its transformation/union with Paramount+ it looks quite interesting. After some cleaning and expansion of his powerful brands (‘Dexter’ and ‘Billions’) comes the rescue of the latest comedy from the creator of ‘Emily in Paris’ after being canceled by Netflix: yes, we will have season 2 of ‘Desparejado’ (Uncoupled).
Starring Neil Patrick Harris (who we’ll see in ‘How I Met Your Father’) as Michael, the series is a romantic comedy about a gay bachelor navigating the world of dating after abruptly breaking up with his boyfriend of 17 years. Michael will see how much the “rules” and modes of courtship have changed.

Released last summer the comedy did not achieve the expected results and it was only able to briefly make it to the top of Netflix, so the decision to cancel it (albeit late) was not surprising. Now it seems that the creation of Darren Starr and Jeffrey Richman will have new life that may not be limited to a season 2.
Being an MTV production, it was also quite logical, that if rescued was by a chain or platform of the Paramount ecosystem. Showtime, specifically, wants to rely on three pillars for its fiction programming, one of them being “Metro culture”, where ‘Desparejado’ would fit
In addition, it seems that we are in an exchange of series, since we have also learned that ‘Ripley’, a drama based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith starring Andrew Scottwill jump from Showtime to Netflix.
