It's awful that Netflix cancelled it. They absolutely have no clue how big this could've been.

[@brycesayers-kwan5707]

It is timeless art. I will be heart broken if the rights don't get sold

[@catlvr-kg9ol]

I’m sure they’ll eventually reboot it

[@elinorearts]

I want 20 seasons of this show!

[@donovanlay5379]

The day i booted up Netflix and seen Midnight Gospel and Archive 81 (also canceled) in the front of the "Critically Acclaimed" section i soon realized I had a deep hatred for netflix.

[@Andrea.369]

​@@donovanlay5379feel you there! The OA as well 😔

[@BboyCorrosive]

Duncan could so easily crowd fund another series on a different platform

[@TheSareus]

He'd have to completely make a new series. Netflix forces you into a 5yr exclusive rights contract so even if they're stupid and cancel a good show you can't just run off and sell it to like Hulu.

[@soap1056593]

@@TheSareus2025, so you’re saying… there’s hope?

[@drchico40]

The episode with his mom tore me apart. I watched it at a poignant time in my life. EVERYTHING happens for a reason.

[@whitb6111]

Does it though?

[@twenty99]

@@whitb6111 the truth that it may not be for any particular reason is why we find reasons & purpose inside of it

[@olajuwonthomas7342]

Such a great episode

[@drchico40]

@@twenty99 Exactly. The universe is random and chaotic….entropy at its finest. Having said that, we are the determining factor in how certain actions are integrated into our lives, therefore serving a purpose. Weird thing is…..I started the series about a year and a half ago. Watched all episodes except the last one or two and at the exact moment I was dealing with some “stuff”…..I come across the series again on netflix. I don’t go for hocus-pocus stuff…..but that was weird.

[@Alulim-Eridu]

@@drchico40 Entropy is in the eye of the beholder. If a box full of balls is organized so all the red balls are stacked on one side & all the green balls are stacked on the other side . . .that seems like low entropy. But for someone who is color blind, but instead can notice which balls are slightly bigger or smaller . . .to them the box appears to have high entropy Entropy and our limits of perception are pretty fascinating

[@fingal113]

this is the first i have heard that its not coming back. I'm crushed. i had such respect for Netflix for taking a chance to actually make something good. seriously I'm so bummed.

[@00looper]

Indeed. Great show, especially on 🍄

[@booknikYT]

I hope they can sell it to another platform. Netflix is garbage...

[@OnlineWerds]

It was exceptional in every way and I felt the same about it not being picked up again.

[@randomname6475]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@brycesayers-kwan5707]

For real.. I still go back and watch it every 6-8 months. This show changed me.

[@Cabsmell]

Duncan is such a good vibe, glad he's found success.

[@dandyman2182]

That last episode made me tear up knowing these conversations were real for Duncan made them feel more real for Clancy it was some super unique story telling and even though I want season 2 I'm glad we got such a great season 1

[@omarpuig1]

Duncan Trussel is a national treasure.

[@hugs4drugs205]

There is a cult following for this show and netflix is dumb for not renewing. I really hope it does get renewed with another streaming service in the future. Id bet even Comedy Central would consider it whilst in their death throws

[@TheSareus]

You'll have to wait 5yrs Netflix forces creators into a 5yr noncompete contract so even if they cancel your show and it blows up you can run off and sell it elsewhere. They knowingly know they fuck up but cover their asses ahead of time.

[@IronyOfNadir]

Finished the Show last year and I completely loved it, with different emotions and motivating, Duncan Trussell is a Great down to earth person.

[@phil6899]

I still can't believe that voice is coming out of that face.

[@hadedanewspaper2256]

Dr. Drew another great piece of content......Duncan is so special......just lovely to be in this company

[@fingal113]

and it just occurred to me, we never got the charlotte episode that I'm betting we all were looking forward to, loved that lil pooch or what ever it was.

[@smokkush3214]

The show is absolutely mind blowing and I can't wait to see fhe creativity you make duncan

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

Why do I love Duncan’s voice so much?

[@nocarrotjuststick3375]

It was too good. They couldn’t handle it

[@williamscott3634]

SO FKN UNFORTUNATE THIS GOT CANCELLED. Was genuinely the best show of 2020/21

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Paradise P.D. has two seasons on Netflix and then Farzar. I’m not hating on those shows, I just don’t get why a show I’ve heard plenty of folks say they adored can’t get a season 2?

[@AK907LSD25]

Intellectual content < retardation for the masses. Sad but true

[@willjohnson3907]

There’s so many of the same old adult animated shows and Midnight Gospel was something different.

[@brycesayers-kwan5707]

It's cause that brainless junk has a track record. The execs probably thought that it was a safer bet than something so unoridinary

[@BboyCorrosive]

The mom episode was bruuutal

[@csukosd]

Everything good never gets a second season.

[@mattasticmattattack8546]

If the human race went extinct and 1 piece of evidence was left for our species I'd vote for the midnight gospel

[@AscendingBlazed]

Clancy was my first tattoo

[@happy_go_lucky_arts555]

“People FUCKING LOVE this show.” And always will that’s to both of you💜

[@jackdonovan554]

I really liked this. I would love to see more.

[@jackashmore]

Been waiting for season 2

[@Zeptre_]

Duncan gotta hire an animator and do season 2. Or do a podcast that is midnight gospel and cover the hard topics like season 1

[@snoop4470]

I watched it on mushrooms it was a roller coaster ride lol.

[@reklezzz9038]

I used to watch it on acid. The colors just rolling by as they talk was so hypnotizing 😂

[@brycesayers-kwan5707]

That's the way to do it man. Same here (🍄) and it changed me.

[@minnesotatomcat]

If you’ve ever said the words……I don’t know why we ever broke up. YOU are the reason 😂

[@nuke97]

Listening to the audio of this and pretending it's a new episode of Midnight Gospel.....It's working.

[@YouAKoolCat]

I hope duncan can one day get another platform for his show

[@user-pv2rj9pt6u]

This is the stuff that revelation I mean revolution are made of…incredible show. Very beautifully and creatively manifested….I hope this gets picked up on another platform…

[@JoshAronoff]

Great show. I hope it goes somewhere else.

[@KingEatable]

when tf are we gettign a season 2 to the damn show...its been 2 years..

[@kaptinkarlos4821]

I hope Netflix picks it back up or someone does cause this would have been the next adventure time

[@Tastefuljoy]

nice.

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

At least he got to bone natasha leggero🔥🔥🔥🔥

OKAY YES THE SHOW IS A MASTERPIECE BUT WHERE IS SEASON 2???

[@snoop4470]

The fuck heads at netflix canceled it. Netflix probably owns the rights now.

[@jakeison2968]

Canceled

[@sirbear4962]

GLASSES MAN IN THE FLESH!

[@facehunter504]

Netflix should cancel themselves for cancelling this show! It’s epic!

[@roel.vinckens]

Dun can't Russell.

[@BboyCorrosive]

This vid will probably get a lot of traction from the non ymh midnight gospel fans

[@crashburndicoot6940]

Bro law & order was cancelled & came back. I don't care who needs to see this the animation doesn't need to be that expensive just follow the chaos & randomness of it & bring it back. Like disenchantment, it deserves to live through lifetimes like the Simpsons fucking ARTHUR, comon. It is worthy 👌

[@greyt1972]

Come on down to snake church and make fun of J.C.

[@JuanMorales-qe3ym]

Mistake was not creating new voicelines and plots for each episode instead of recycling audio from a podcast that has nothing to do with animated storytelling

[@eugeniorivera4818]

Nah, it’s good the way it is

[@gdubya83]

That was a really good series. The next best thing to Drunken History

[@crakkbone8473]

Why is this YMH?
