After three seasons of laughs and some heartbreak, it's the end of an era for Call Me Kat.

The show finished wrapping its finale of the latest season last week. Within a day it was confirmed by Fox it would not be picking the series up for another season.


One of the show's stars, Cheyenne Jackson, took to Instagram to reflect on the wrap before Fox made their announcement. In a video of stills from the first three seasons, Jackson shared his gratitude for his time on the show and the relationships made because of it.

He captioned the post:

"Tonight is our season 3 finale and maybe our series finale. We don't know yet."
"But whatever the future brings, these past three years of making 50+ episodes of @callmekatfox are something I'll never forget and I will cherish the memories I've made and the friendships I've gained."

Once Fox confirmed the cancellation, Jackson shared another post on Instagram, sharing the tough news but focusing on the day's win thanks to his son.

He shared a photo of him holding his son Ethan with the caption:

"Yes, the guy on the right just had his sitcom cancelled, but the guy on the left just learned how to tie double shoelace knots..."
"So... the day is not completely terrible."

Many on social media expressed their shared disappointment in the cancellation but also applauded Jackson for a job well done.

"We are thankful for our partnership with Warner Bros. Television, That's Wonderful Productions, Sad Clown Productions, BBC Studios, Mayim Bialik, Jim Parsons and the entire cast and crew for their work and dedication to 'Call Me Kat'."

Entertainment journalist and Glamour magazine Senior West Coast Editor Jessica Radloff's new book, Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, shared a story about actor Emily Osment joining the show in its fifth season that's drawing praise for her consideration for her fellow child star, Montana Jordan.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
