HBO's satirical superhero series, The Franchise, has been canceled after just one season, despite receiving mostly positive reviews. The comedy offered a behind-the-scenes look at the production of a major superhero franchise.

HBO has swung the axe on a “hilarious” new show after just one season. It has been announced that the cable network has called time on The Franchise, a satirical show about the production of a superhero movie series.

"The Franchise," the satirical comedy series about the making of a superhero movie, will not be returning for a second season on HBO.

We’re only a few short days into the new year and 2025 has officially claimed its first fallen show. That’s right, the new year has only just kicked off and, unfortunately, we already have our first cancellation of the year with HBO deciding to pull the plug on The Franchise after just one season.
