One Day at a Time ran three seasons on Netflix, got cancelled, then picked up by Pop TV, and cancelled again after one season. The producers and Sony tried to shop it around. Even though it was a critical darling, it was not enough for it to find a new home.
“I wish I could say otherwise, but sadly, ODAAT’s time has come to an end. The only silver lining about not doing a show anymore is that nobody can take away the show you already did. 4 seasons that will forever exist for people to watch,” Executive Producer Mike Royce wrote. “I’m so proud of One Day at a Time, our cast, our writers, our crew, and while I’m sad today, I’ll forever be grateful for the amazing experience and honor it was to work on it. I am especially thankful to our spirit guide Norman Lear, and to my cohort upon whom I am forever codependent, Gloria Calderon Kellett. And the biggest thank you is to the ODAAT fans, who gave us more love than we know what to do with.”
The fans and the producers did everything they could to save the beloved sitcom. It was just not meant to be. Four seasons was a good run these days, so we were lucky we had that.
