Unfortunately, we have to bid farewell to the show as its upcoming third season will be its last.

She also paid tribute to her amazing cast, including the late Leslie Jordan, who brought magic to the series.

Variety reported that the network was aware of the show’s critical reception, which influenced the decision to end it. However, the network expressed gratitude towards everyone involved in the show and acknowledged their pride in Call Me Kat.
