FXX’s ‘Legit’ & FX’s ‘Chozen’ Cancelled

By ERIK PEDERSEN | Wednesday May 14, 2014 @ 4:11pm PDT

Tonight’s season finale of Legit will be the FXX comedy’s swan song. FX Networks confirmed today that the sophomore comedy starring Jim Jefferies has been canceled along with the FX freshman animated series Chozen. FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said last month that FX and FXX would be doubling their original output in the next year and that the fate of Legit and Chozen would be decided after their current seasons. Chozen wrapped its 10-episode run March 31. Legit was renewed for Season 2 in March 2013, along with fellow FX comedies It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and The League, and all three were moved to the fledgling FXX, along with late-night talker Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell, which has since been cancelled. Legit followed the often often raunchy adventures of Jefferies, an expat Aussie comedian living in Venice, CA, with his boozy, divorced best friend Steve (Dan Bakkedahl) and Steve’s kid brother Billy (DJ Qualls), a quadriplegic with MS. Chozen, about a gay white rapper (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) who’s fresh out of prison, was from Danny McBride — whose Eastbound & Down recently wrapped a four-season run on HBO — and his Rough Pictures partners Jody Hill and David Gordon Green. Chozen was the first original series order for FXX back in June.

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing what they would do next.

It never makes sense, but in a way it does. Awesome shows like this get canned, while "Two & a Half Men" stays on the air. It's a direct reflection of how unintelligent the general population of the U.S. truly is, and I'm an American.

AGREED!!! It is so amazing how they cant get away with extreme sexual jokes against women in Family Guy and shows like Real sex go on for ten years. But because of the incredibly macho image associated with hollywood and media I don't think our favorite rapper ever stood a fighting chance. As soon as I saw the first trailer back in December i said "that looks amazing and hilarious but its gonna get canned after the first run.

Maybe it could come back on Adult Swim or Netflix? Why don't we get a petition going?

This show grew on me. But I'm not that upset over it.

It was time. This show felt like a eastbound and down knock off with a gay Kenny Powers, less developed characters and toned down content because its not HBO. It wasnt bad but why bother when you can just watch Eastbound.

Eastbound & Down, really? I don't see that many connections. They're not even the same genre.

I think you somehow confused Danny McBride's voice with Chozen, because I can't see how you would ever confuse this show with Eastbound and Down. McBride was the druggie friend, not the gay main character.
