The CW Cancels 'Down to Earth With Zac Efron' After Two Episodes
The Big Picture Down to Earth is now six feet under the earth. The CW has just pulled the Zac Efron-led travel series after only two episodes, the latest in a series of cancelations by the network, which seems intent on recreating its image. Along with Efron's Down to Earth, The CW also recently canceled the series Fantastic Friends, which starred Harry Potter alums James and Oliver Phelps.
In Efron's place, The CW will instead air reruns of Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, which will fill in the Tuesday night slot starting on August 1. Down to Earth With Zac Efron originally premiered on Netflix in 2020, with a second season premiering in 2022. The series follows Efron as he travels the globe, and explores nature and sustainable living practices.
An Uneasy Transition from Netflix to The CW However, the series was not canceled for its pseudoscience leanings. Instead, it seems that the viewership simply wasn't there for the show on linear television. The series debuted on The CW on July 18 and drew in a total of 306,000 total viewers. Its second episode saw a 24% drop in viewership, bringing in only 232,000 viewers. With numbers like that, it might be best to just fire up the reliable time-filler that is Whose Line is it Anyway?.
You can still stream Seasons 1 and 2 of Down to Earth on Netflix. And you can check out a new first look at Efron's newest project, The Iron Claw, here.
