Netflix has decided not to pick up a second season of the adult animated series Strip Law, according to series creator Cullen Crawford. He shared the news with fans via a post on the social media platform Bluesky Thursday evening:

The 10-episode season premiered in February and here is Netflix’s official logline for the series:

Uptight lawyer Lincoln Gumb is too boring to win cases in Vegas until he teams up with local magician/hedonist Sheila Flambé to bring some flash and pizzazz to the stupidest cases the city can throw at them.

What that meant in reality was an animated series that was bawdy, tacky and filled with as many sight gags and weird pop culture references as can be humanly crammed into each episode.

The cast was a murderers row of vocal talent, including Adam Scott as lawyer Lincoln Gumb, Janelle James as Sheila Flambe, Stephen Root as Glem Blorchman, Shannon Gisela as Irene Gumb, and Keith David as Steve Nichols. Guest voices included Paget Brewster, George Wallace, Jim Rash, Joel McHale, Tom Kenny, LeVar Burton, Chris Elliott, Johnny Knoxville, Patton Oswalt, Paul F. Thompkins, Tim Heidecker and ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic.

Just before the show premiered, I had the opportunity to speak with Crawford about how the show came together, his method for convincing Netflix to give him a substantial writers room and the lessons learned from working on the series Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Here is a link to the full interview, but I pulled out this excerpt because I think it resonates a bit differently now that we know the show won’t be returning:

One of the things I liked about the show is that I had the feeling sometimes you would set up an entire premise just so that you could deliver a specific punchline down the road. There’s a scene in I think the last episode where you have these bunk bed desks for the two lawyers, which makes no sense. And then at one point you do a bro-hole joke and I thought, “Okay, that’s why these desks are arranged that way because otherwise you can’t do the joke.”

Yeah. I think that was an offshoot of thinking what to do because we were doing a whole style parody in that episode of, “What kind of office would two playfully immature guys have?” So we did actually start with bunk desks there and then bro-hole grew out of that.

But absolutely, we will set up a whole episode just to take a left turn somewhere. And as far as that whole episode ten, we didn’t know we were going to do that. Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show do something along the lines of “What if the last episode of our show was a different show where our characters sort of accidentally invade this other show? And that got me really excited.

So yeah, I’ll just go anywhere for the laugh.

And without giving anything away, I have to say that that episode ended at a point where I found myself thinking, “Okay, it’s going to be interesting to see where it goes from here because I have no idea how that will happen next.”

I actually have no idea. If you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about, which is the last scene of this show, I don’t know what we’re going to do with that yet either. I’m excited to see what we do.

One hint of where the show might have been came via another post from Crawford, who shared a piece of backstory he wasn’t able to save for eventual series finale:
