On August 27, Madrid confirmed that the show would no longer have new episodes, despite many of its audience requesting to have it extended.
“Natapos na po namin siya noong March. So talagang kung saan lang po aabutin, doon na lang po ang ‘Lolong.’
“Siyempre sobrang thankful talaga ako sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta. Sa totoo lang, hindi po namin in-expect na magiging ganoon ang pagtanggap ng mga tao.
“Nakakatuwa ‘yung mga bata na nagse-send pa sa akin ng mga videos na ginagaya nila si Lolong. Sobrang sarap lang po sa puso kasi ang sarap na nakakapagbigay ka sa kasiyahan lalung-lalo na po sa mga kabataan.”
