Netflix Cancels Rob Lowe's Unstable After 2 Seasons
Image
In a blow to workplace comedy fans, Netflix has decided to bring another one of its series to a halt. The streaming giant will not be renewing Unstable for a third season, according to recent reports. Created by and starring Rob Lowe, a beloved member of the Brat Pack, and his son Owen Lowe, the show struggled to gain traction among Netflix viewers, which led to the cancelation.

Unstable centers around the eccentric and chaotic world of a biotechnology company run by the charismatic but narcissistic-adjacent Ellis Dragon (Lowe) and his introverted son Jackson (Owen), who only arrives on the scene in order to save his father from spiraling and sending the company in ruins as he mourns the loss of his wife. The series explores the complicated relationship shared by the father-son duo and satirizes the dysfunctional workplace. Lowe and Owen act as executive producers alongside Victor Fresco, the...

‘Unstable’ Canceled After Two Seasons at Netflix
Image
“Unstable,” the comedy starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe, has been canceled after two seasons on Netflix.

The workplace comedy premiered on Netflix on March 30, 2023, and its second season came on Aug. 1, 2024. It followed Rob Lowe as Ellis Dragon, the CEO and founder of a biotechnology company who struggled after the death of his wife. His estranged son Jackson, who played Lowe’s real-life son, joins the company despite pursuing a career playing the flute. He also helps his father with his mental health and reconnects with him. The show leaned into the meta-ness of the Lowes playing an eccentric father and high-strung son.

“It took doing a TV show with each other for Rob and I to re-explore some of the deeper parts of our interpersonal relationship, so we figured, why not make it so that Ellis and Jackson have to literally play characters in order...

Rob Lowe's Show 'Unstable' Canceled by Netflix After 2 Seasons
Image
Unstable is not coming back for a third season.

On Friday (October 11), Deadline announced that the comedy series starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe had been canceled after two seasons.

Along with starring in the show, Rob, 60, and John Owen, 28, also co-created it alongside Victor Fresco and served as executive producers and writers.

Keep reading to find out more…Unstable takes place in a biological research company, where a son with social problems is forced to work for the company founded by his father, an extremely eccentric and exotic man to save him from disaster.

The show was first released in November 2023. Season 2, which was released in August, failed to break into the Netflix Top 10, meaning that it drew less than 1.4M views in its opening weekend and fewer than 1.3M views in its first full week.

It’s also being reported that the show is being shopped around.

‘Unstable’ Canceled By Netflix After 2 Seasons
Image
Exclusive: Netflix is not proceeding with a third season of Unstable, its comedy series starring and co-created/executive produced by Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe.

The news, which I hear has been relayed to the crew, is not surprising because Season 2 — which debuted August 1 — failed to break into the Netflix Top 10, meaning that it drew fewer than 1.4M views in its opening weekend and fewer than 1.3M views in its first full week. Netflix executives base their renewal decisions on viewing vs. cost.

According to sources, the producers had already been quietly shopping the show. As Deadline has reported, finding a new home for a Netflix original is tricky as it comes with a lot of limitations, making a linear network the most realistic option. This is what happened with One Day At A Time, which moved to Pop post-cancellation, with That ’90s Show producers believed to...

‘Unstable’ star Sian Clifford shakes up Emmy race
Phoebe Waller-Bridge may have been the star of her seminal comedy series “Fleabag” but Sian Clifford, who played Fleabag’s semi-unstable sister, Claire, proved herself an equally gifted comedic performer. Clifford has since put that status to good use in “Quiz,” “Inside No. 9,” and “See How They Run.” Now, she stars opposite Rob and John Owen Lowe in Netflix’s “Unstable.”

“Unstable,” reportedly inspired by John Owen’s trolling of his father Rob, follows the former as a son forced to work for the biological research company that his father, the latter, runs. However, the father, grieving from the recent death of his wife of 30 years, has become eccentric and erratic and is more focused on activities such as sunbathing naked in his office rather than running Dragon, his company. Clifford plays Anna, the CFO of Dragon, and she tries her hardest to protect her boss from other employees and himself.

‘Unstable’: Season 2 Of Rob Lowe & John Owen Lowe’s Netflix Comedy Series Shut Down Due To Writers Strike
Image
Exclusive: Unstable, the Netflix comedy series starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe, is the latest show to have production hit by the writers strike.

Deadline understands that production on the second season of the series, which launched at the end of March, has been shut down.

We hear that the series, which hadn’t received a full, official renewal greenlight, was prepping at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood. There were six scripts finished out of a planned eight-episode run with principal photography planned for later this spring. Employees were told earlier this week that production was being suspended and that they were being laid off at the end of the week.

Rob Lowe literally radiates positive energy. Of course, the 58-year-old had a lot he was looking forward to when he sat down for a recent Zoom interview with E! News ahead of Father's Day. The Lowe family's holiday traditions have admittedly changed since his kids were, well... kids. "You know, they're men now," the actor said of 28-year-old Matthew, a lawyer who runs an investment firm, and 26-year-old John Owen, a writer and story editor on 9-1-1: Lone Star.
