TBS renews Tracy Morgan's The Last O.G. for a 4th season, possibly without Tiffany Haddish
Aux Features TV
Today, TBS announced in a press release that Tracy Morgan’s The Last O.G. will be returning for a fourth season, though there was something slightly odd in the announcement—or, rather, the odd thing was something that wasn’t there. In the press release, there was no mention whatsoever of Morgan’s co-star Tiffany Haddish, who has starred in the show since the beginning as Morgan’s character’s ex. Deadline points out that there have been rumors about Haddish—who basically became a superstar in between filming the first season and when it actually aired—supposedly wanting to leave The Last O.G. for some time now, and TBS apparently “would not address the actress’ future” when pushed on it. That all seems to very strongly indicate that Haddish will be leaving The Last O.G., which is a shame since she’s as great on it as she is in everything, but it’s also completely understandable since… well, she’s a superstar now.
The Last O.G. is about an ex-con (Morgan) who is released from prison after 15 years and realizes that the Brooklyn he left behind is completely different now. He then has to figure out how to remain true to himself while avoiding the circumstances that drove him to crime in the first place and figuring out how to make it in modern, hip, and expensive Brooklyn. The new season will include Owen Smith (Black-ish, Survivor’s Remorse, and more) as a new showrunner, and in the press release, Morgan mentions that he’s excited to get back to work making something that can “make the world a little brighter.”

They addressed this pretty directly in the show this last season. Halfway through she gets a job offer that would put her too far away from Tracy and moves away with the kids. They shifted the show itself to focus on Tracy living/managing an apartment complex. Worked out pretty well.
This show wavered a bit during season 2, but I think found it’s footing with this last season. The tone wavered around, Tracy Morgan is so likeable he makes it work. Glad s04 has been green lit as the last scene from season 3 holy sh*t
I agree on Season 2 being hit or miss but I’m with you on S3 bringing it all back. I’ll miss Tiffany and the kids (both did such a good job with Tracy) but I’ll really miss Josh. I loved their moments of bromance and understanding. Refreshing to see how quick they moved to both just wanting the best for the kids.
Wait, she wasn’t out already? Her storyline last season certainly made it clear she was mostly out of the show going forward.
Apparently the writer of the post did zero research.
Season two was soooo good, and season three was soooo bad. Not all down to the Haddish exit, either. The writing nosedived.
Haddish left in the middle of season 3.
WTF, this got to a 4th season. sheesh!
Wow, incorrect info on the A.V. club. Shocking
I was figuring she would be gone after season one, since in interviews Morgan was like ‘Why are you asking about her? There are other people on this show!’ And it wasn’t in a very jokey way either.
