Kevin Durant’s show on ESPN+ will not be renewed after two seasons.

In case you’re an avid viewer of ESPN+, this latest news concerns you in a big way. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant‘s show “The Boardroom” will not be renewed by the network.

After two seasons, ESPN has decided to pull the plug on the show starring Durant, Jay Williams and KD’s agent Rich Kleiman.

The Boardroom was supposed to provide a look inside the sports business side of things, featuring athletes and sports executives, but it apparently didn’t pick up the steam ESPN had hoped.

“The Boardroom is not being renewed following two seasons on ESPN+,” ESPN told the New York Post. “Thirty Five Ventures are great partners and we look forward to continuing to discuss any future projects.”

When you consider ESPN+ has the 30 For 30 series, Backstory, Detail, UFC Fight Night and others that have garnered big viewership, this doesn’t exactly come as a surprise since The Boardroom didn’t exactly make headlines.

Durant‘s “Thirty Five Ventures” company will either have to find another network to pick up this show or pitch a new idea to ESPN, who expressed willingness to continue working with KD.

You’d think there would have been more interest this year too when you consider Durant missed the whole year with an Achilles injury. He had time to dedicate to the show while fans had another outlet to view the Nets star player off the court. At least his investment with Postmates worked out…
