The talk show, featuring former Daily Show host Jon Stewart, premiered in 2020, and it featured the host talking about topics in the news with interviews and more.
Per The New York Times, Apple TV+ has pulled the plug on the series over creative differences with Stewart. The topics and guests for season three were controversial, and the two could not agree on moving forward with season three so both were happy.
The following was said about the decision to cancel the series:
“But Mr. Stewart and Apple executives had disagreements over some of the topics and guests on “The Problem,” two of the people said. Mr. Stewart told members of his staff on Thursday that potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence were causing concern among Apple executives, a person with knowledge of the meeting said. As the 2024 presidential campaign begins to heat up, there was potential for further creative disagreements, one of the people said.”
The series is nominated for Outstanding Talk Series Emmy. That event airs in January.
