Fans of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy will not see a third season of the series. At least not on CNN. Tucci has revealed that the cable channel cancelled the food and travel series when they cancelled the rest of their unscripted programming.
However, the actor hopes that another channel or streaming service will pick up the series. The four-episode second season arrived in May 2022. On the show, viewers join the Academy Award nominee as he explores his Italian ancestry, visiting different regions and exploring their cultures, cuisine, and history.
Tucci said the following about the cancellation of the series, per People:
“Unfortunately, CNN has canceled all of their original programming. So hopefully we’ll end up on another streamer, network — we don’t know. But yes, I have plans to do season three and more.”
CNN also shared the following about the series, confirming its cancellation:
“Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy is one of the most successful projects produced by CNN Original Series, garnering two consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series. We want to thank Stanley Tucci for his dream partnership on this series.”
