Retta shares her unfiltered take on 'Good Girls' sudden cancellation

Retta, known for her role in Good Girls, recently got candid and opened up about the show’s sudden end.

In a talk with Us Weekly to promote her HGTV series Ugliest House in America, the 55-year-old American comedian and actress expressed her thoughts on the show’s cancellation by saying, “No, We were devastated. But I don’t know. I don’t see that coming back.”

Retta went on to acknowledge that the news of Good Girls coming to an end “surprised” the whole cast and crew.

She quipped, “We really thought we would go a long time and so it kind of threw us for a loop.”

Following NBC’s decision to cancel various other shows, The Greatest Hits star stated she did not know how those decisions were made.

“I also don’t know how any of that works. How the metrics work, how they decide what’s going to make it on air, what’s not, what’s coming back and what to put on,” she asserted.

“Because sometimes they won’t have things that are kind of similar to compete on the same network. And I’m like, ‘Well then don’t start a new show if it was just like the one that’s already there,” Retta remarked.

For the unversed, Good Girls, which started in February 2018, chronicles the story of three stubborn mothers, played by Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman, and Retta, who got involved in crime because they needed money.

The story showed what happened after they robbed a store and ended up doing gang heists.

It is pertinent to mention that Good Girls season 4, which ended on July 22, 2021, had been cancelled for season 5 before the fourth season’s finale.
