Apple TV+ has canceled the generally well-reviewed “High Desert,” starring Patricia Arquette, after one season.
“High Desert” follows Peggy (Patricia Arquette), an on-again-off-again addict who decides to make a new start after the death of her beloved mother, with whom she lived in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California, and makes a life-changing decision to become a private investigator.
Arquette herself made the announcement Sunday.
While funny, High Desert wasn’t a feel-good comedy. It centered on an occasional drug addict played by Arquette who becomes a private investigator in a small desert town.
The series pulled in a 70% critics approval rating on the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences gave it a 79% approval rating.
But that apparently wasn’t enough for Apple TV+.
Patricia Arquette via Instagram:
A lot of you have asked about High Desert and if there was going to be a second season so I just wanted to let you know we just found out that it won’t be coming back. So that’s a sad bummer for all of us… It stinks.
MacDailyNews Take: Sometimes very good television series somehow just fail to find enough of an audience.

Drugs are bad, mmm’kay? I know, I’ve taken a LOT, and it explains so much about me
Oh look, it’s the annoying emdeeenn drunk ass troll attempting and failing to sling insults at shadows.
Perhaps it can be picked up by a less consistently prissy and yuppie-oriented channel?
Darn, I wanted to see her shot of the cannon.
