'English Teacher' Canceled by FX After Two Seasons
--------------------------------------------------
FX has canceled "English Teacher" after two seasons, Variety has
confirmed.

The comedy series was created by Brian Jordan Alvarez, who
starred as Evan Marquez, a high school English teacher in Austin
that navigates several personal and political scandals at work.
The cast also included Stephanie Koenig, Sean Patton, Carmen
Christopher, Enrico Colantoni and Jordan Firstman.

FX had no comment.

"English Teacher" premiered in September 2024, with Season 2
following in September of this year. While Season 1 followed a
week-to-week model for new episodes, FX opted for a binge
release on Season 2, debuting all 10 episodes at once.

Days before the release of Season 1, Alvarez was accused of
sexual assault by Jon Ebeling, his former friend and co-star on
"The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo," a 2015 webseries that
Alvarez created and starred in. Ebeling first made the allegations
on Instagram, then expanded on the issue in a December 2024 New
York Magazine article. Ebeling also accused Koenig - his
ex-girlfriend and Alvarez's close friend, who wrote on "English
Teacher" in addition to starring - of helping to uphold the
harmful dynamic between him and Alvarez.

News of the allegations did not initially impact the fate of
"English Teacher" at FX, which renewed the series for Season 2
less than two months after the New York Magazine story broke.
About the story, a spokesperson for FX said, "We reviewed the
allegations presented to us by another media outlet prior to the
show's launch. Mr. Ebeling never reached out to us with any
concerns. We will have no further comment at this time."

The network did not mention of the allegations in its press
release about the renewal, instead providing a celebratory
statement from president Nick Grad: "'English Teacher' was one of
the most critically acclaimed new shows of 2024 and we are grateful
to the producers, writers, cast, directors and crew for the show's
creative excellence. We look forward to the new season."

"English Teacher" was executive produced by Alvarez, Paul Simms,
Jonathan Krisel, Dave King, Kathryn Dean, Jake Bender and Zach Dunn
and produced by FX Productions.
