It's one and done for Happy Face, the crime drama series based on true events that debuted two months ago on Paramount+. Amid middling reviews, the show's renewal fate has been revealed, and it's not good news for fans.

Per Deadline, Happy Face has been canceled at Paramount+ after just one season. The news comes less than three months after the series wrapped up its first season. It's not the surprise of the century, as Happy Face struggled with viewership, failing to crack Nielsen's Streaming Original Top 10 rankings. What also didn't help was the show's reception, as it has an approval rating of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score that's even lower at 43%.

The show was produced by CBS Studios in production with King Size Production, iHeartPodcasts, and Semi-Formal Productions. It was one of the rare original shows on Paramount+ that is not part of an existing IP or Taylor Sheridan's Universe.

This post contains spoilers from Paramount+'s Happy Face episode 7, “My Jesperson Girls.”

We’ve reached the Happy Face penultimate episode, my friends, and it's a curveball we never saw coming (but that makes total sense). Bombshells have abounded throughout the Paramount+ series, but episode 7 drops earth-shattering revelations that change everything about our narrative and alter our characters’ lives on a much grander scale. In this penultimate recap, Happy Face (Dennis Quaid) unnervingly asserts his dominance, Melissa (Annaleigh Ashford) is hit with revelations about her past that break her, and Ben (James Wolk) makes a risky move to protect his family.

After discovering Hazel (Khiyla Aynne) and Keith’s relationship, Melissa and Ben take her phone away and relocate the family to an Oregon hotel room so they can confront Keith. While her mother watches the kids, Melissa and Ben head to the prison.

Ben is uncomfortable being there.

Happy Face is a new Paramount+ true-crime series set to roll out eight new episodes this Spring. Adapted from the 2018 podcast of the same name, the docudrama concerns a teenage girl who discovers her father is secretly the Happy Face Killer, a serial kidnapper and murderer who took the lives of at least eight women in the 1990s. Dennis Quaid and Annaleigh Ashford headline the docudrama as the father-daughter combo.

With a relatively straightforward streaming schedule, Happy Face will air its eight-episode first season over seven weeks, ending on May 1st. Once hooking viewers with a double dose of terror, Paramount+ will issue a new weekly episode until the finale. Including episode titles and writers attached, here's everything to know about when, where, and how to watch Happy Face in the coming weeks.
