EXCLUSIVE: HBO Max has opted not to renew animated comedy series The Prince for a second season.“The Prince is not moving forward,” HBO and HBO Max Chief Content Officer Casey Cloys confirmed to Deadline during an interview tied to TCA.The move is not surprising.
The Prince, a biting look at the British royals through the eyes of Prince George, the youngest heir to the throne, voiced by series creator Gary Janetti, has drawn criticism for satirizing the Royal children and especially its take on 8-year-old Prince George who is portrayed as entitled and conniving.Additionally, the series planned late spring launch was delayed following Prince Philip’s April 9 death at the age of 99.
The animated comedy’s all 12 episodes were ultimately dropped at once with little fanfare in July. There are no plans for the series to be shopped elsewhere by 20th TV Animation.The Prince was among four original animated series that have been released by HBO Max so far.
Of them, only one, Close Enough, has been renewed for a second season. The status of the other two, Ten Year Old Tom and Santa, Inc., is unclear but Bloys stressed the streamer’s commitment to adult animation under head of comedy Suzanna Makkos who previously ran the comedy department at Fox, known for its lineup of hit adult animation series.
