The mystery drama won't return for a second season.
June 27, 2025
It is being reported by Deadline that Grosse Pointe Garden Society has been cancelled by NBC after one season. The news comes just over a month after the drama wrapped its 13-episode freshman run.
The move doesn't come as a surprise, as the show struggled to draw significant viewership on the network. Unfortunately for fans, its now-final episode on May 16 ended on a cliffhanger and left a number of unanswered questions.
The series follows four members of a suburban garden club whose lives become intertwined by scandal, mischief, and the shared secret of a murder that nobody wants to talk about. As dark truths begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.

The pilot episode showed some promise, but it was just too cute. Clearly it was a rehashed version of "Desperate Housewives". Between this and "Doctor Odyssey", it shows that the creative tank in Hollywood has gone completely empty. All they have left is recycling the hits from the past and hope that nobody notices.

I loved this show when it was called “How To Get Away with Murder”….this was basically kinda-sorta a clone, only difference was “Garden Society” had some bits of comedy in it. It even had one of the core cast members from that show on *this* one!!
How did she not see the comparisons when reading her scripts or even the pilot, lol?!

I agree with Fred. People who can’t “be bothered” to watch something for fear of it being cancelled are the reason things get cancelled. Seems like common sense to me. Viewership is what keeps shows on the air. Saving shows in a queue to maybe watch if they’re renewed is pointless.

NBC didn't cancel this show. People not watching it till season 2 did. NBC doesn't replace shows with reality tv. People unwilling to support a first season of scripted tv.
If you want a show where every episode is stand alone , with no possibility of cliffhangers or unanswered questions, you want reality tv. Watching good tv takes risks. Shows might not hit but when they do it is worth it.
If your unwilling to take chances then sell your tv. You are not part of the problem, you are the WHOLE PROBLEM.

@mic that Sunday slot is prime tv, moving it to Fridays assured it's death, the only worse spot is Saturdays.

I am another who does not invest time on new shows until a S2. Why bother when most times they end S1 on a season ending cliff hanger that never gets solved due to cancelation.

Sad day. I thought it was an interesting show with a great cast and well written. It deserved at least a second season. I wonder what failure will replace it on NBC next season.

A really great show. The time slot NBC assigned to this show guaranteed a cancellation. Later, the show was assigned in a more reasonable time slot, it was already too late. I'm with @Chris Howerton. On Peacock, it might have thrived.
