Which Streaming Service Is Winning (And Losing) 2024 So Far?
The dramedy, which stars Chris O’Dowd as “a seemingly content, cheerful family man and high school teacher” named Dusty Hubbard, will not be returning for Season 3.
This comes as somewhat of a surprise since the series received an early Season 2 renewal just one week after its debut in April 2023.

O’Dowd’s character Hubbard is described as “a seemingly content, cheerful family man and high school teacher” who “watches everyone around him reevaluate their life choices and ambitions — based on the machine’s printouts — and is forced to question whether he is truly as happy as he once thought.”
Hubbard’s wife Cass (played by A Black Lady Sketch Show ‘s Gabrielle Dennis ) is not as skeptical of the machine as him, indulging “in the dream that there’s something bigger out there for her,” the logline continues.
“Like many of Deerfield’s residents, the couple has lived a relatively safe, uncomplicated life, until the arrival of the Morpho machine. However, all of that is about to change when the community is forced to reconcile with their unfulfilled achievements in pursuit of a better future.”
In recent months, Apple TV+ has also canceled Schmigadoon! and its astronaut drama Constellation . Several other original shows, however, have been renewed by the platform including For All Mankind , Slow Horses , Hijack , Invasion , The Last Thing He Told Me , Monarch: Legacy of Monsters , and Drops of God .
