Disney+ Cancels 'American Born Chinese' Despite Positive Reviews

Fans rally for the show as producers look for new platforms.

Disney+ has canceled the series 'American Born Chinese' after just one season, despite the show receiving positive reviews and featuring Oscar-winning actors Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan.
The series, based on a graphic novel of the same name, failed to achieve the required viewership to sustain it, even though it had a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Fans of the show have started a campaign for it to be given another chance, with many criticizing Disney and other streaming platforms for canceling critically acclaimed shows.
Despite the cancellation, 20th Television, the show's producer, plans to shop it on other platforms, hoping it will find a new home.
The show's cancellation has sparked a debate about the need for streaming giants to give shows more than one season to gain traction and viewership.
