2 Broke Girls Stars Reflect on the Show's Cancellation and Its Legacy

The sitcom 2 Broke Girls quickly became a fan favorite when it premiered in 2011, offering a hilarious yet heartwarming look at the lives of two young women trying to make ends meet in New York City. The show, starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs as Max and Caroline, garnered a loyal following thanks to its quick wit, relatable characters, and memorable one-liners. However, despite its popularity, the show was ultimately canceled after its sixth season in 2017. In the years since its cancellation, both the stars of the show and its devoted fans have reflected on the show's impact and what it meant to them.

A Sudden End to a Beloved Show

When 2 Broke Girls was canceled, many were shocked, as the show had consistently enjoyed a decent fanbase and solid ratings. Despite critical mixed reviews, the show had built a loyal audience who tuned in weekly to follow the adventures of Max and Caroline. The decision to cancel the show after six seasons left many wondering what the future held for the characters and the actresses behind them.

Kat Dennings, who portrayed the sarcastic and street-smart Max, spoke candidly about the cancellation in interviews. She admitted that she was initially heartbroken by the news. “It felt like a punch to the gut,” she said. “We worked really hard on the show, and you get attached to the characters. They become a part of you.” Dennings also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to bring Max to life, acknowledging how the role had a profound impact on her career.

Beth Behrs, who played the more refined but equally lovable Caroline, shared a similar sentiment. “It was such an amazing experience,” she reflected. “I’m so proud of the work we did and the people we worked with. It was a family.” Behrs also noted that, while the cancellation was disappointing, it was important for her to embrace the time she spent on the show and the incredible bond she had with Dennings.
