The TV series "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" was canceled primarily due to low viewership ratings on NBC and insufficient streaming numbers on Peacock to justify renewal. Initially airing on Sundays, the show was moved to Fridays, which slightly improved ratings but not enough to save it. NBC evaluated the option of shifting the series to Peacock streaming, but concluded that it would struggle to grow its audience there as well, leading to its cancellation after just one season despite positive creative feedback and a significant cliffhanger ending. Key reasons for the cancellation include:
- Lowest-rated scripted series on NBC for the 2024-25 season.
- Poor linear (broadcast) ratings and modest streaming audience that failed to compensate.
- Lack of financial resources allocated by Peacock to support the show's transition.
- The Friday timeslot move did not significantly enhance viewership.
- The show had a serialized, mystery-dramatic format that might have suited streaming but was unable to find a sufficient audience.
