The TV show “Smothered” was not renewed after its initial run.
“Smothered,” which aired on TLC, was a reality series that explored the lives of extremely close mother-daughter pairs. The show debuted in June 2019 and provided viewers with an inside look at the unconventional, and sometimes controversial, relationships between the mothers and daughters. It highlighted their daily routines, the intensity of their bonds, and the challenges they faced due to their unique relationships.
Despite a following that found the show both entertaining and eye-opening, “Smothered” did not continue beyond its existing seasons. The reasons for non-renewal of reality TV shows can be numerous, ranging from declining viewership, high production costs, or the network’s decision to refresh their programming lineup with new content. In the case of “Smothered,” TLC did not publicly disclose a specific reason for the show’s discontinuation.
Fans of the show were left without a continuation of the stories they had followed, and the participants returned to their lives away from the cameras. While some viewers hoped for a renewal or a spin-off, the network has since moved on to other projects, and “Smothered” remains a part of TLC’s past reality show roster.
