On January 11, 2019, the official Canadian Ginx Twitter account stated the series was on hiatus.[5] The following March, Roberto later clarified that the show was no longer in production.[6] The crew behind it have since launched Squad, a live-streamed show for Twitch and YouTube.[7] In May 2019, QYOU confirmed that HUD had not been renewed for a second season.[8] In July 2019, a 100-episode compilation of the series called Best of HUD began airing.[9][10] A month later, Super Channel announced that Squad would start airing on Ginx on September 17, 2019.[11]

The program was added to Instagram TV in July 2018.[12] AXN Spin began airing the program across Eastern Europe in fall 2018.[13]

Heads Up Daily was designed as a format to be licensed by partners globally for the production of localized versions.[14]
