The ABC comedy Schooled starring AJ Michalka, a direct spinoff of the 1980s-set series The Goldbergs, is officially cancelled after two seasons. The series, which featured other familiar characters from The Goldbergs, like Mr. Glascott (Tim Meadows) and Mr. Mellor (Bryan Callen), focuses on Michalka’s character Lainey Lewis who, after failing to find success in Los Angeles, returns and takes a job at the local high school as a music teacher. Brett Dier from Jane the Virgin plays a new character named C.B.

One of the show’s creators, Adam F. Goldberg, took to Twitter to personally announce the news. He thanked the writers, cast, and crew, as well as ABC and the network’s head Karey Burke, for their hard work on the show’s two seasons. Schooled‘s second season was down on ratings compared to the first. Along with that, the show had frequent backstage shuffling, going through three different showrunners during the two season run, which might have factored in to the show’s cancellation.

Meanwhile, The Goldbergs is continuing its successful run. It just finished its seventh season, and is one of more than 15 ABC Network shows that got renewed for another season. This includes medical dramas Grey’s Anatomy and The Good Doctor, reality staples The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars, and new hits like Stumptown. 

ABC also cancelled Bless This Mess, Single Parents, Emergence, and Kids Say the Darndest Things, while the futures of a couple other shows remain undetermined.
