The renewal negotiations for 2 Broke Girls between CBS and Warner Bros, TV were expected to go down to the wire and they did. But after some encouraging signs in the last few weeks for a potential short season, 13-18 episodes, the veteran comedy series has been canceled by CBS.
There was a hint that things may be heading south for 2 Broke Girls this afternoon when CBS gave Warner Bros. TV a somewhat surprising third new comedy series order for By the Book (fka Living Biblically), meaning that both of the studios’ comedy pilots at the network, the single-camera Me, Myself & I and multi-camera By the Book, were picked up, along with the straight-to-series single-camera Big Bang Theory spinoff Young Sheldon. With Big Bang and Mom already renewed, that gave WBTV five comedy series on the CBS schedule next year without 2 Broke Girls. Still, the cancellation of the highly lucrative six-year-old comedy series put a major damper on what would’ve been a great day for WBTV.
