Netflix axes Michelle Wolf and Joel McHale talk shows
Netflix has been experimenting (rather aggressively) with talk shows for a while in an effort to diversify its titles, but results have been hit or miss thus far. It's hard to get attached to a particular program only to see it canceled after a few months and one season: case in point, The Break With Michelle Wolf and The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale, which were released in May and in February, respectively. While Netflix doesn't reveal viewership numbers for its offerings, The Hollywood Reporter says the two comedy shows failed to gather enough views to warrant a second season.
Joel McHale's weekly Netflix show premieres this weekend
As promised, Joel McHale's weekly Netflix show is premiering on February 18th -- and you now have a better idea of what to expect going in. The streaming service has posted a preview of The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale that gives a feel for what the commentary series will involve. It doesn't include the signature green screen (a carryover from The Soup), but it's clear that the show will play on McHale's Community days -- fellow alumni and initial guests Alison Brie and Jim Rash show up to keep the star in check.
