Sad news for sketch comedy. Deadline reports Netflix has cancelled Astronomy Club: The Sketch Show after only one season.
From Kenya Barris, the comedy series features Upright Citizen Brigade’s first all-black sketch troupe. The cast includes Shawtane Bowen, Jonathan Braylock, Ray Cordova, James III, Caroline Martin, Jerah Milligan, Monique Moses and Keisha Zollar.
