The acclaimed comedy will say goodbye in 2020.
December 12, 2019
IFC announced today that Brockmire will be coming to an end after its already-ordered fourth season. The comedy was last renewed in 2018, receiving a two-season pickup at the time.
Hank Azaria stars in the series as the titular character, a famed major league baseball announcer who, after suffering an embarrassing public breakdown on the air a decade ago, moves to a small town with a focus on reclaiming his career, reputation, and love life.
The concept of the series originated as a viral short video on the comedy website 'Funny Or Die', and its adaptation for television has been a successful one. Audiences and critics have both praised the show, which in its first season drew better ratings than any other new series in the network's history.
Look for the fourth and final season of Brockmire to premiere in March 2020.

Maybe if it were on a network that people knew it might have stayed on the air longer. Name one other show on IFC.

Because good and bad is a personal construct that can not apply to a show in a public way. Many people can think a show is good. The revenue will reflect this the show will stay on the air. Many people can think a show is bad and the revenue cannot reflect this. But the revenue ultimately be what the network can see.

Season 1 and 2 were fantastic.. season 3.. was unremarkable and forgettable, okay..other than the turtle........ Hopefully it goes back to its roots for the final season.

I really like this show. Unfortunately it was funnier when he was wasted. Kinda hemmed themselves into corner by having him go to rehab. Personally I'm hoping for a relapse in the final season!

@jon Noar It may be because there's really not much more you can do with this story. Is it good yes, but there's nothing really left in the tank with scenarios they can do with this.

It is a good show...so why do networks keep bad shows & do not renew the good one?!
