The Canadian comedy has come to an end.
April 25, 2024
Word is out that Run the Burbs has been cancelled after three seasons. Co-creator and star Andrew Phung broke the news in an Instagram post, telling fans that CBC, the comedy's home network, has opted not to order a fourth season. See his full statement below.
The show premiered in the US on The CW last summer but was pulled from the network's schedule during Season 2, relegating the remaining episodes to the CW app and cwtv.com. The first two seasons are also now available on Hulu. According the Phung's post, The CW does plan to air Season 3 at some point in the future.
The half-hour series follows the Phams, a young, bold Vietnamese South Asian family who take a different approach to living their best life while changing the way one thinks about contemporary family values and life in the burbs. The Phams have become the heart of their cul-de-sac, usually instigating community events and always the first to know the goings on in the neighborhood. But through all the challenges of everyday suburban life, they take on the world as a cohesive unit.

It was decent.. until Season 3.. Season 3 just got too "ethnic" overall. They went from just standard family situations to show that as a Korean/Indian family they are NOT any different than any other family, to focusing on heritage and ethnicity almost entirely. Season 3 was very narrow in focus and much less enjoyable.

Our family loved this so much! Caught the first season on the CW, and even got VPN to watch the 2nd and 3rd season from Canada. It kept getting better and better and it was such a lovely escape from the world. All the characters were so lovely to watch, and we felt so connected to them. A real disappointment for sure.

There was so much heart in this show. It should have gone 10 seasons.
Why can't little shows like this just be allowed to continue until the creators find natural endings at some point down the line? Preferably way down the line.
It can't all be about profits.
It was a lovely show and should have been allowed to continue.
