The Duchess, the comedy from British-based comedian Katherine Ryan, has been cancelled by Netflix after one season.
The six-part series launched in September 2020 but will not return. It is centered around the powerful and problematic choices of a fashionably disruptive single mom living in London. Her daughter, Olive, is her greatest love so she debates a second child with her greatest enemy — Olive’s dad.
Ryan revealed the news on Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To… podcast. “[Netflix] didn’t want to make any more, not enough people watched it. I think something like 10 million people watched it in 28 days and that wasn’t enough,” she said. “But also, I’m not terribly sad about it. I feel like it’s a whole lot of work, a whole lot of time to make a sitcom. I was so grateful to able to make it, but I think it speaks for itself.

You say tomato, I say tomato, let’s call the whole thing a series.
Fish out of water comedies are a dime a dozen on television (look no further than recent Emmy darling “Schitt’s Creek”), but a string of new shows are taking those fish and flying them across the Atlantic, specifically to France and the United Kingdom.
While it might appear easy to play for a laugh out of a quirky British accent or a snobbish French custom, the creators and producers of Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” and “The Duchess,” and Apple TV Plus’ “Ted Lasso” know there is a need for nuance to move beyond the “ugly, dumb American abroad” trope, as the latter’s showrunner Bill Lawrence puts it.
“Emily in Paris,” which debuts Oct. 2 on Netflix, centers around a 20-something marketing exec (played by Lily Collins) who moves to Paris for work via a stroke of good fortune.

When I discovered that Katherine Ryan was starting in a series (which she also helps to direct) I won’t lie I was very taken back… I know Katherine Ryan as a stand-up comedian; I know for her perspectives on feminism and somewhat crude jokes. Initially, I was very shocked by the inclusion of Ryan mainly due to the fact that she is more well-known for appearing on comedy panel shows and performing live; and so I have never really thought of her as an actress but actually I was very surprised by how well she performed here.
The Duchess is clearly a passion project from Katherine, as she not only wrote the entire series herself but also she stars in the series while playing herself. This is a show that uniquely...
