“Trial & Error” is Officially Canceled

Warner Bros. has failed to find a new home for the NBC comedy. 

The true-crime spoof Trial and Error has officially been canceled after two seasons after attempts from showrunner Jeff Astrof and executive producer Matt Miller to keep to series going were unsuccessful.

Set in the town of East Peck, the series followed an attorney named Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto), in his defense of Larry Henderson (John Lithgow), a poetry professor accused of killing his wife. Kristin Chenoweth joined the show’s sophomore run, playing an East Peck grande dame who is put on trial for the murder of her husband. Jayma Mays, Sherri Shepherd, Steve Boyer and Amanda Payton rounded out the cast.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, season 1 scored  an 86 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and after the second season it grew to 91 percent. The outlet also reports that the studio is still open to finding Trail and Error a new home.
