Judd Apatow has delivered some of the most commercially successful comedy movies, launching the careers of several popular actors. However, Apatow’s attempt to produce a television comedy in the late 1990s resulted in Freaks and Geeks, a cult classic sitcom that initially failed to find an audience and was canceled too soon.

Apatow produced the short-lived series Freaks and Geeks which ran for just one season. Over the years, the series has gained a cult following, raising questions over a possible return with a second season. During an interview, Apatow firmly rejected the possibility of reviving the series after almost two decades, and here is why.
