What Is 'Ziwe'?
Premiering in May 2021, 'Ziwe' was the brainchild of comedian and writer Ziwe Fumudoh. The show was a talk-show with a unique spin on it.

The show also featured several musical guests as well, providing an interesting juxtaposition of comedy and music.
Why Was 'Ziwe' Canceled?
It is unclear why Showtime decided to cancel the show after two successful seasons. While the show did have a loyal fan base, it never reached the level of viewership that Showtime was expecting. Another potential reason why the show was canceled could be due to the fact that it was an expensive show to produce and maintain. With the rising cost of production and other factors, it may have become too costly for Showtime to continue.

It is possible that 'Ziwe' could be revived in some way in the future.
The Legacy of 'Ziwe'
Even though the show has been canceled, it has still made an impact in the world of comedy. 'Ziwe' was a refreshing take on talk-shows and provided a unique perspective on cultural and political issues. It was also a platform for musical guests to showcase their talents.
