Stumptown's Jake Johnson Drops Bombshell: Ill-Fated Season 2 Would’ve Featured New Love Interest for Cobie Smulders ‘Every Single Episode’
by Ryan Schwartz
July 17, 2023

Three years after ABC renewed, then un-renewed Stumptown, series star Jake Johnson is revealing that Season 2 of the Cobie Smulders P.I. drama would’ve looked like a “totally different show” under the stewardship of new co-showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fringe) and a completely overhauled writers’ room.

“It was going to be a totally different show in a very exciting way,” Johnson, who played ex-con Grey McConnell, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

“Everything was building. Every single episode [would have had] a new love interest for Dex, kissing and fight scenes every week,” which probably would’ve spelled doom for the love triangle between Dex, Grey and Miles (Michael Ealy).

Alas, COVID delays made a second season cost-prohibitive, and ABC cancelled Stumptown in September 2020.

“I get word that the amount of COVID testing they need to do is wild,” Johnson recalls. “They have no idea how to do any of it with social distancing. So we got a very honest call where they just tell us that the cost of COVID made it so high that we’d need like Seinfeld-in-the-’90s success to justify making Season 2.”

Never heard of it. There's certainly a lot of crime in Portland to investigate.

I really loved this show. Such a shame it never got picked up by another network.

It really sucked that it was renewed and then cancelled. It was a fun show.
