Starz cancels ‘Survivor's Remorse'

- RODNEY HO

The game is over for Starz comedy “Survivor’s Remorse” after four seasons in Atlanta.

The show, set in Atlanta and created by Mike O’Malley, features a basketball player who moves from a poor neighborho­od in Boston to become a big star ( Jesse T. Usher as Cam Calloway) on an unnamed Atlanta pro basketball team. He moves his family down to Atlanta, where they adjust to life in a wealthy Buckhead mansion.

The show focused on the dynamics of the family, which included his mom played by Tichina Arnold, his sister played Decatur’s own Erica Ash and former Stone Mountain resident RonReaco Lee as Cam’s cousin and manager. The first two seasons also featured Mike Epps, whose breakout character Uncle Julius died at the end of season two.

LeBron James was an executive producer. By design, they never showed Cam actually playing basketball.

“Survivor’s Remorse” received critical acclaim and hardcore fans loved it, but its audience was never as large as some other Starz shows such as “Power.”

According to Deadline.com, the show’s final episodes will air this Sunday back to back.
