After just one season, comedian Rel’s self titled tv show has been cancelled by Fox network after just it’s first season. While this may not ever be acknowledged out loud, the recent controversy involving Jess Hilarious profiling Sikh men boarding her flight most likely gave Fox more than enough push to cancel the show.

The multi-camera comedy had a promising premiere but ratings quickly fell off; a January episode drew a series-low 1.2 million viewers, which was barely half of the audience its cancelled predecessor Last Man on Earth grabbed a year prior. Rel‘s (now series) finale, which aired Jan. 13, delivered 2.8 million viewers and a 1.1 in the demo — the series’ best showing since its premiere — but that largely was attributable to the evening’s lead-in: the hugely watched Eagles/Saints NFC divisional playoff.
On Wednesday, Fox also cancelled its sci-fi drama The Gifted. The network’s renewals (so far) include 9-1-1 and The Resident (both for Season 3), The Masked Singer (Season 2), Family Guy (Season 18), Bob’s Burgers (Season 10), and The Simpsons (Seasons 31 and 32).
