By Jessica Lerner 

Close Enough, a three-season animated sitcom follow-up to the kid-focused Regular Show, has been canceled at HBO Max.

“It’s true, Close Enough is ending after 3 seasons,” creator JG Quintel wrote on Twitter. “I feel fortunate to have worked on this project with so many talented people. Thank you to everyone that helped bring it to life, and to everyone who watched!”

The show generally received positive reviews, and Season 3 premiered on April 7.

“After three great seasons, Close Enough is coming to an end,” HBO Max said in a statement to Deadline. “We are so proud of the series and grateful to creator JG Quintel and our partners at Cartoon Network Studios, who made this show an instant fan favorite on HBO Max.”

The project, which was first scheduled to run on TBS in 2017, saw numerous delays and problems before finally making its HBO Max debut on July 9, 2020.

In the series, Josh and Emily, a young married couple in their early 30s, and their little daughter Candice shared a Los Angeles duplex with their friends Alex and Bridgette, who had recently divorced. They ran into what seem to be everyday domestic problems, but they wind up getting worse in bizarre (and frequently science fiction-like) ways.
