HBO announced Friday afternoon that the final episode of “Any Given Wednesday,” with Bill Simmons as host, will air Nov. 9 “and will not return to the network next season.

The show had not done well in the rating, and the decision was mutually agreed upon by HBO and Simmons, according to the network. Simmons joined the network in July of 2015.

“One of the many reasons I joined HBO was to see if we could create a show built around smart conversations for sports fans and pop culture junkies,” Simmons said in a statement released by HBO. “We loved making that show, but unfortunately it never resonated with audiences like we hoped. And that’s on me.

“But I love being a part of HBO’s family and look forward to innovating with them on other ambitious programming ideas over these next several years — both for the network and for digital. With that said, I want to thank the dedicated staff that worked so diligently with me behind the scenes to make this show every week — we hired so many great and talented people and I loved having them in my life. It’s difficult for me to imagine not working with them anymore.”

Peter Nelson, executive vice president, HBO Sports, said, “HBO is committed to Bill Simmons, and we are excited to bring his unique vision to bear on an array of new programming initiatives under the HBO Sports banner in 2017. Bill is an award-winning executive producer in the documentary arena, and we will work closely with him in developing new and engaging content for our subscribers.”
