HBO Max has canceled “Gordita Chronicles” after its first season, as the streamer shifts away from live-action kids and family for the time being. The ’80s-set coming-of-age series, which follows a Dominican family moving to Miami, debuted its first season in full on June 23.
“Live-action kids and family programming will not be part of our programming focus in the immediate future, and as a result, we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to end ‘Gordita Chronicles’ at HBO Max,” the streamer said in a statement. “The series earned critical acclaim and a loyal following, and we are proud to have worked with creator Claudia Forestieri and our two powerhouse executive producers, Eva Longoria (who also masterfully directed the pilot) and Zoe Saldana, to bring Cucu’s journey to the screen.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains discussions about some scenes and storylines in “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
In “Thor: Love and Thunder,” Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie is now King Valkyrie of New Asgard. However, she has not found her queen. “You know, she’s flirty,” Thompson tells me on this week’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast.” She’s out in the world. She’s ready for love. She’s definitely single and ready to mingle, but also I think, when the time is right.”
Not that Thompson, who came out as bisexual four years ago, thinks romance is a necessity to show Valkyrie’s queerness. “I think a part of really being able to normalize queer characters, Lbgtqia characters, is to allow them to exist in their humanity and that doesn’t always mean that they’re in love or in a partnership because plenty of us know that sometimes you’re not.
