In a surprising turn of events, Netflix has officially canceled its comedy series *Unstable*, which starred Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe, after only two seasons. The show, co-created by the father-son duo, premiered its second season on August 1 but failed to capture the audience's attention, as it didn't make the platform's internal top 10 rankings following its release.

During its premiere week, the 10th-ranked show amassed a mere 1.4 million views, a staggering contrast to the expectations surrounding *Unstable*. Compounding its struggles, *Unstable* also failed to appear in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the month of August, indicating a lack of traction with viewers.

The inaugural season of *Unstable*, which debuted in March 2023, had a brief moment in the limelight—appearing once in Netflix's rankings based on total viewing hours and twice on Nielsen's streaming charts. The show featured Rob Lowe as an eccentric head of a biotechnology company, with John Owen Lowe playing his son who steps in to both save the family business and help his father regain control amidst chaotic circumstances.

The cast boasted talents such as Sian Clifford, Aaron Branch, Rachel Marsh, and Emma Pilar Ferreira, alongside guest stars like Fred Armisen and Iris Apatow in season two. The series was crafted by Victor Fresco, known for his work on *Better Off Ted* and *Santa Clarita Diet*, with Andrew Gurland taking over as showrunner for the second season.

In an interesting twist, Rob Lowe continues to shine in the spotlight as he stars in *911: Lone Star* on Fox, which is currently in its fifth and final season. He also hosts the network’s game show, *The Floor*, ensuring he remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry despite the recent setback with *Unstable*.

As the curtain falls on *Unstable*, fans are left wondering what’s next for the Lowes as both navigate the ever-changing landscape of television and streaming content. What do you think will be the future of family-led projects in comedy? Let your thoughts be known!
