Will Smith's This Joka standup comedy series won't return to Roku for Season 2, but not because of the Oscars
-
Originally made for Quibi, This Joka was produced by Smith to showcase emerging standup comics. "Roku is believed to never really have had the option to renew the series, which is produced by Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Studios and Topgolf Entertainment Group," explains Deadline's Peter White. "The option to renew lapsed before Roku launched the show, and certainly before the streamer had the chance to analyse its viewing data, meaning that it was unlikely to return for a second season on the platform."
