Netflix calls time on One Day

One Day at a Time will not return for a fourth season on Netflix

Netflix has cancelled One Day at a Time, its remake of Norman Lear’s iconic comedy of the same name, citing low ratings.

The multi-camera sitcom, which ran for three seasons, came from Sony Pictures Television and was executive produced by Lear.

“While it’s disappointing that more viewers didn’t discover One Day at a Time, I believe the series will stand the test of time,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer.

The reboot centred on the everyday challenges facing a Cuban-American family and was positively received by critics for tackling issues such as mental illness, immigration, sexism, homophobia and racism.

“This was a very difficult decision and we’re thankful to all the fans who’ve supported the series, our partners at Sony, and all the critics who embraced it,” added Sarandos.

Co-created by Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce, One Day at a Time starred Justina Machado, Rita Moreno, Todd Grinnell, Isabella Gomez, Marcel Ruiz and Stephen Tobolowsky.

The original One Day at a Time aired on CBS in the US between 1975 and 1984.
