Apparently renewals mean nothing these days.
On January 8, Inside Job creator Shion Takeuchi announced via Twitter that Netflix had canceled the animated comedy. Just seven months earlier, the streamer had renewed the show for a second season.
Part 2 of Inside Job’s first season was only released in November 2022. While it wasn’t perfect, the comedy—which follows the misadventures of Reagan (Lizzy Caplan) at the shadowy Cognito Inc.—showed much promise. The latest run of eight episodes introduced Reagan’s love interest, Ron Staedtler (Adam Scott, reuniting with his Party Down paramour), and especially gave new depth to Reagan’s best friend Brett (Clark Duke), in what Paste contributor Rendy Jones wrote “may well be the best episode of the season.”
