Grindr Time! ‘Uncoupled’ is Being Revived at Showtime
Uncoupled, which premiered on Netflix last year, has been given another chance after it was canceled by the streaming service a month ago.The show has been “saved” by Showtime, which has picked up the show for a second season.Uncoupled, created by Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman, features a star-studded cast that includes Neil Patrick Harris, Tuc Watkins, Tisha Campbell, Marcia Gay Harden, Emerson Brooks, and Brooks Ashmanskas.The show follows Michael (Harris), who must find his way in the world as a newly-single gay man after his partner of many years, Colin (Watkins), leaves him suddenly.It sees the middle-aged Harris trying to date, learning what’s changed since he was last on the market, and even investigating dating apps such as Grindr.The good news is that the series has now been picked up by Showtime as part of the network’s new content strategy, which seems to include a renewed focus on diverse groups of people, including the LGBTQ community. According to Deadline, the move to Showtime might also see the show become “edgier and racier” than its Netflix counterpart.One of the series’ stars, Tisha Campbell, had hinted to People recently that the show might not be gone for good.
