Dan Perlman Instagram – Hey, hi, hello. There will not be a third season of Flatbush Misdemeanors. I’m incredibly proud of what we were able to do with this show. Me and Kevin made three episodes of a zero-budget web series and we were able to turn it into two seasons of a show on Showtime that people really loved. One of the best things was that we were able to work with so many people who we worked with on the initial web series — Kerry, Kareem, Yamaneika, Napoleon, Drew, Aminah, Ken, Reggie, Jonas, Petey, so many others. We brought in amazing actors like Hassan and Kristin and Zuri and Angella and Josh and Lenny and Zoe and Beth and Jackie and Sam and Sticky Fingaz and I had the chance to do scenes with comedians I respect and love like Alyssa and Maria and Shalewa and Roy. I’m grateful I had the chance to direct and work with more people I respect, like Joyelle and Greer and Soder and so many more.
Thank you to all of our writers, seasons one and two who brought so much to the stories and worked so hard under often-difficult circumstances. To all of our producers and studio and crew who helped us get the show done under insane time constraints, who brought all their efforts and energy and creativity and respect. To Marcie and Chloe and Kelly and David for everything. To Gary and Jessie and Brendan at Showtime for taking a chance on us, even though we are extremely not-famous, and allowing us to make the show we wanted to make. Really felt nothing but support from them and I’m insanely fortunate and appreciative. To Max Saines for helping and advocating for the web series, repeatedly, when there was nothing in it for him. Will never forget that kindness. To everyone who shared they enjoyed the show. And the biggest thank you to everyone in Flatbush and all over Brooklyn for all of your support and kind words and generosity as we made this show, that means the most, thank you.
This reads like an Emmy speech, not a ‘we’re canceled’ caption, but yeah, I’m just very grateful. Excited to try to make other cool stuff in the future. And I hope you guys can still find the show and watch the two seasons we were lucky enough to make.
