“What an amazing adventure,” wrote Bythewood on Instagram, sharing the news of the series’ end. “In our two seasons, we have launched careers, disrupted genre, brought forth humanity through our characters, told stories we care deeply about, revolutionized the way to shoot basketball, and had fun,” he wrote. He thanked “KD, Brian, Rich, Imagine, and CBS Studios” for their trust. “Apple, while you are not ordering a season three, I made the show I wanted to make. Thank you for that,” he said toward the company. He went on to show his gratitude to the cast, writers, and crew while addressing the series’ fanbase and the industry. “For our FAMbase, you lifted us in ways we could have never imagined.
