The Real Reason Ordinary Joe Was Canceled
Prior to its cancellation in March 2023, NBC’s “Ordinary Joe” may have been one of the more experimental shows on the air. Originally created by “The Batman” director Matt Reeves way back in 2006, “Ordinary Joe” follows the story of the titular Joe Kimbreau (James Wolk) across three separate timelines following his graduation from Syracuse University (via The Hollywood Reporter). Each of these timelines branches off from a major decision Joe makes on the day of his graduation. In one timeline, he is a police officer who is renowned for his heroism in the line of duty, while in another, he is a famous musician who followed his dreams after college.
