Bless the Harts Canceled at Fox
FOX
The animated comedy from creator Emily Spivey will not return after it wraps its second season in May.
Bless the Harts will not be back for a third season.
Fox has canceled the animated comedy from creator Emily Spivey. The series, a co-production between Disney s 20th Television and Fox Entertainment, will wrap its second and final season in May on the independent broadcast network.
The adult animated comedy, featuring a voice cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell, Ike Barinholtz and Kumail Nanjiani, has been a lackluster performer in its second season as part of Fox s Sunday night block. Its most recent original episode drew 56,000 total same-day viewers, a series low.
Despite the studious efforts of Jesus Christ himself (a recurring Kumail Nanjiani), Fox’s
Bless The Harts has run out of divine steam after two seasons on the air.
Variety reports tonight that the animated comedy, which stars a ridiculous number of comedy ringers Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell, Ike Barinholtz, Fortune Feimster, and more will end with its second season in May of this year.

Saturday Night Live writer Emily Spivey,
Bless The Harts was also heavily influenced by one of Spivey’s earlier gigs, Mike Judge’s
Harts centered on Wiig’s Jenny Hart, attempting to raise an artistically minded daughter (Bell) in small-town North Carolina while dealing with boyfriend Wayne (Barinholtz) and mom Betty (Rudolph). Also, sometimes she talks to Jesus, which, hey: It’s good to have friends.
