When Fox canceled “The Mick” (for reasons that are still unclear to everyone who likes quality comedy programming) fans were left with a devastating cliffhanger that now may never be resolved.
As you’ll remember, but may want to forget, the Season 2 finale (and now series finale) ended with Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) and the gang huddled around an unconscious Sabrina (Sofia Black-d’Elia), right after she had been electrocuted in a freak accident after her high school graduation. When they receive the news that the teen’s cognitive ability and/or motor functions could be forever damaged, they all stand there silently pondering what that will mean.
But co-creators Josh and Dave Chernin weren’t too concerned about wrapping up the sophomore run in such a dark way, as they thought they’d be renewed. Oops.

For fans of The Mick, the only thing more devastating than the Fox comedy’s recent cancellation was the cliffhanger that brought the series to a close.
A refresher: The finale ended with Mickey and the gang huddled around a freshly electrocuted Sabrina, reeling from the news that the accident could have affected her cognitive ability and/or motor functions. It was a dark way to end the season, even for a show that once blew up an old lady with her own oxygen tank, but the show’s creators stand by it — mostly because they weren’t expecting to be cancelled.

Three episodes into The Mick‘s 13-episode freshman run, the network gave the series an order for four additional episodes, which was followed by an early Season 2 renewal.

Fox premiered three new comedies last season, renewed The Mick and cancelled the other two. Although its total audience size landed in the bottom half of the network's 2016-17 series, The Mick TV show's 18-49 demo ratings were a top-ten performer and are likely why it was the sole surviving newbie sitcom. Can it build up its audience in the second season? Will The Mick be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

The Minecraft movie has found its director in Rob McElhenney, a somewhat surprise choice to steer one of gaming's biggest ever franchises. So who is he?
McElhenney is best known for his role as Mac on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a show about a group of anti-social pub owners who struggle their way through adulthood. It's gained a cult following, and 10 years and 114 episodes later, is still going strong.
Not only does he star in the sitcom, but he's also its co-creator and co-writer alongside Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day. As well as writing and acting chops, he's been behind the camera directing a few of its episodes, including the show's pilot.
Here's Rob McElhenney and his co-stars discussing Always Sunny (be warned of some cursing in the clip, which is pretty representative of what you'd expect from the show):
