Neil Patrick Harris’s show Uncoupled has been through quite a journey. The show was cancelled by Netflix last month after just one season. But there is good news for fans of the show because Uncoupled has now been saved from cancellation by Showtime.
According to Deadline, Showtime has stepped up and renewed it for Season 2 (and potentially more) as a part of its new content strategy.
At the premium network, soon to be renamed Paramount+ with Showtime, Uncoupled will fit into the "Metro Cultures" content lane, which spans "culturally diverse takes" like The L Word and The Chi.

In Uncoupled, Neil Patrick Harris stars as Michael, a single, gay New York real estate agent in his mid-40s who tries to navigate the dating scene after his life is turned upside down upon seeing his partner of 17 years walk out of their relationship.
The show was created by Jeffrey Richman and Darren Star (Emily in Paris) and as well as Neil Patrick Harris, it also stars Tuc Watkins, Tisha Campbell and Marcia Gay Harden, with the series receiving generally positive reviews throughout its run.

One of the things he would like to give fans the answer to is the mystery of Kai’s (Jasai Chase Owens) birth father: "We have strong ideas about that storyline. We almost gave it away in season one, then decided not to. It'll be very surprising," he said in August of last year.
The first season of Uncoupled is currently streaming on Netflix.
