But some users were not surprised at the show’s confirmed cancellation. One said: They didn’t promote it well. I didn’t even know there was a season two and I love cartoons”, while another wrote: “This was still going?”

However, the series was clearly loved by many fans, and was given an average rating of 97% on review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes. Back in 2020, NME wrote: “Central Park does it’s talking by performing hip-hop songs about whether gardeners and fans of roller disco can cohabit with each other peacefully.
“This all makes for a fun show. An enjoyable show. A much welcome change of pace to anything else hanging out in the yard right now. To its credit, Central Park is a show that continues to smile, even when it seems there is less and less to smile about.”
In other news, the classic Oasis ‘…There And Then’ live concert film is now available to stream on Apple TV.
