After two seasons, FX has canceled English teachera comedy series starring Brian Jordan Alvarez as Evan Marquez.
The network did not give any specific reasons for its decision. But it’s worth noting that the series’ lead, who also served as the show’s creator, was previously accused of sexual assault by his ex-boyfriend Jon Ebeling.
Notably, these allegations were made against Brian before FX decided to renew the show for a second season, signaling that they had no say in the show’s fate.
“We reviewed the allegations presented to us by another media outlet prior to the show’s launch. Mr. Ebeling never reached out to us with any concerns. We will have no further comment at this time,” the network representative said after New York Magazine shed light on Jon’s claims in 2024.
Meanwhile, in the series, Brian’s character Evan juggles many hats. He is a gay man dealing with his often messy personal relationships. Then a teacher at an Austin high school must navigate numerous challenges, including demanding parents, overactive students, and campus politics.
It is relevant to mention it English teacher first premiered on FX in September 2024 and received generally positive reviews.
