Sky1 has cancelled its original comedy Parents after a single season. The series starred Sally Phillips and Tom Conti, focusing on a middle-aged couple forced to move in with the wife’s parents, creating a multi-generational household full of tension and awkward humor.
Despite a promising start and a talented ensemble cast, the show struggled to build a substantial audience. Its blend of domestic comedy and family dysfunction received mixed reviews, which may have influenced the network’s decision not to move forward.
Parents marked Sky1’s continued effort to develop homegrown comedy, but the cancellation highlights the competitive nature of the genre in a crowded market.
There are currently no plans to revive the series or pursue a spin-off.
