Take My Wife is an American sitcom on the Seeso comedy subscription streaming service. The show follows former real-life couple Cameron Esposito and River Butcher as they share their lives as stand-up comics who are balancing work, relationships, and the breaking down of gender barriers.[1] On December 19, 2016, Seeso renewed the series for a second season.[2] On August 9, 2017, Seeso announced the shutdown of its service by the end of the year, leaving Take My Wife without a home. On March 5, 2018, it was announced that season 1 and the previously unaired season 2 were now available on iTunes (US) and would be available on the Starz app starting May 1, 2018. Take My Wife is also now available on iTunes in the UK (as of April 30, 2018).[3]
For its second season, the show's creators and producers featured large numbers of women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals in front of and behind the camera.[4][5] Esposito has acknowledged this was a conscious effort on their part: "As a small budget show, we prioritized hiring queer folks, POC, and female standups."[3]

2017 campaign to save Take My Wife
On August 9, 2017, it was announced that NBC would be shutting down Seeso. A web campaign to "#SaveTakeMyWife" quickly formed to encourage another network or streaming service to pick up the show for future seasons.[6] On March 5, 2018, it was announced that the distribution rights to the first two seasons had been picked up for the Starz app and that both seasons were now available on iTunes.[3]
