Matt Bomer has opened up about Mid-Century Modern’s unexpected cancellation.
On 29 September, co-creator Max Mutchnick announced that the LGBTQIA+ multi-camera sitcom would not be returning for a second season.
“Ten great episodes… Not enough. But we loved making every single one of them,” he wrote on Instagram. “We’re gonna miss our very special show. Thanks to everyone who watched.”
In a recent interview with PRIDE, Bomer shared his reaction to Mid-Century Modern’s cancellation.
“I got to work with so many of my heroes. So many legends, and a lot of people who are a big part of why I became an actor,” the Normal Heart star told the news outlet.
“To get to do that and to see Linda Lavin go out on a high note? What more can you ask for?”
Back in March, the series made its highly anticipated premiere on Hulu and Disney+ in the UK.
