EXCLUSIVE: Amazon will not be proceeding with a second season of single-camera comedy Dinner With The Parents. The news comes eight months after the series, a remake of the long-running British comedy Friday Night Dinner, launched on Amazon Freevee.

The free, ad-supported video on demand streaming service was recently shut down, with existing Freevee series migrating to Prime Video. Dinner with the Parents was one of the last remaining Freevee originals whose fate had not been decided.

Dinner with the Parents, from CBS Studios and Big Talk, centered on a weekly family get-together that always devolves into chaos. Every Friday evening, the close-knit Langers prove that it takes those we love best to bring out our worst.

Michaela Watkins and Dan Bakkedahl led the cast as the parents, with Henry Hall, Daniel Thrasher and Carol Kane also starring.

Jon Beckerman executive produced and served as showrunner with Big Talk’s Kenton Allen and Matthew Justice and creator of the UK series Robert Popper and Caroline Leddy. Tristram Shapeero directed and exec produced.

With its season-long run, Dinner with the Parents went the furthest of several attempts to mount an U.S. adaptation of Friday Night Dinner. It eclipses NBC’s remake by The Office‘s Greg Daniels, which went to pilot in 2012 with Allison Janney and Tony Shalhoub as the parents. CBS tried two incarnations that did not go beyond the development stage.
