“Hi all. We received the unfortunate news today. Tacoma FD has reached its conclusion. Despite the wonderful journey and the new audience we gained on Netflix, our current network has opted to exit the realm of scripted comedy. It’s been a wild ride at TruTV, navigating through two corporate takeovers and four different bosses over four seasons. Nonetheless, the four seasons we were privileged to create were the highlights of our careers. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who supported the show. We’re glad to know that more viewers will discover it as it finds new life on Netflix.”
