The multi-camera comedy series generated considerable buzz when it was acquired by Fox in 2019. The network went as far as offering the show a series commitment in a highly competitive situation, ultimately ordering it into a series in May 2020. The series marked the first broadcast project for both series star Mayim Bialik and executive producer Jim Parsons following their successful stint on the hit CBS multi-camera series “The Big Bang Theory,” which concluded with its 12th season.

Fox initially premiered “Call Me Kat” on Sunday, January 3, 2021, before moving it to Thursdays for the remainder of its run. Although it began with strong ratings, it faced a steady decline afterward. According to the latest Nielsen Live+7 ratings, the show was averaging approximately 2.2 million viewers and a 0.4 rating among adults aged 18-49 in its most recent season.

The source material for “Call Me Kat” was the British series “Miranda,” created by Miranda Hart. The show’s ensemble cast included Mayim Bialik, Cheyenne Jackson, Swoosie Kurtz, Kyla Pratt, and Julian Grant. Leslie Jordan was also part of the show until his passing in October 2022.

Darlene Hunt spearheaded the development of the series for American television, with Jim Patterson and Maria Ferrari serving as executive producers and co-showrunners. Jim Parsons, along with Todd Spiewak through That’s Wonderful Productions, also served as an executive producer. Mayim Bialik executive produced under her Sad Clown Productions banner, and Miranda Hart and Angie Stephenson of BBC Studios were additional executive producers. The show was produced by Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment.

As the upfront event approaches in less than two weeks, Fox is still deliberating on the fate of the shows “Animal Control,” “Fantasy Island,” and “Welcome to Flatch.” Notably, the network renewed “9-1-1: Lone Star” while canceling “9-1-1,” with the latter show relocating to ABC for its seventh season. Fox has also already confirmed the cancellations of “Monarch” and “The Resident.”

In a departure from its usual pilot-ordering process, Fox opted to issue straight-to-series orders for several projects this year. These include live-action shows like “Doc” and “Rescue: Hi-Surf,” as well as animated series such as “Krapopolis,” “Grimsburg,” and “Universal Basic Guys/The Hoagie Bros.” “Krapopolis” has already secured a renewal through Season 3, while “Grimsburg” is gearing up for its second season.
