'House of Lies' Cancelled after 5 Seasons
Showtime has canceled its five year-long comedy series House of Lies.
The half hour show stars Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson, Donis Leonard Jr., and Glynn Turman. The series will wrap up its final year with a finale on Sunday, June 12 at 0 PM. The finale was shot entirely on location in Cuba and directed by series creator and exec producer Matthew Carnahan.
“’House of Lies’ is a comedy that has frequently been ahead of the curve,” said David Nevins, President and CEO, Showtime Networks. “Over the course of its five seasons, it has tackled such hot-button topics as gender identity, wealth inequality, white privilege, police brutality, interracial relationships, and code-switching with honesty and a biting sense of humor.
"Matthew Carnahan and Don Cheadle have been dream partners and impeccable leaders. The core cast of Don, Kristen, Ben and Josh are one of the best comedy teams on television. They have brought the series to an incredibly satisfying conclusion with this historic final episode shot in Cuba.”
The episode marks the first time an American scripted series was shot in Cuba since the restoration of diplomatic relations.
