In June 2025, Bynum broke news via Instagram that the series had been canceled after four seasons, despite being renewed for Season 5. The show began airing its final Season 4 episodes on Thomas’s birthday in August 2025 before concluding its run the following month.
Bynum alluded to the show’s cancellation while sharing his hopes for 2026 in a Wednesday, December 31, Instagram post. “I’m very happy to say goodbye to 2025. The first day of this year started off horrifically and honestly it didn’t get much better,” he wrote alongside photos of himself with Thomas, family, and friends, from the past year. “Not every year is a great one, but I’m grateful for my friends and that our company survived the onslaught of bulls*** it faced.”
He ended the post on a positive note, writing, “I can feel a different energy already for 2026 and I love it. Love you all!! Happy new year!”
On Monday, Bynum reshared more birthday tributes from his loved ones via his Instagram Story, including one from his Bargain Block costar, Shea Hicks-Whitfield. “HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEITH!” she wrote alongside a previous birthday post she shared for Bynum back in January 2024.

We love you, dearly ❤️.”
