Hulu’s 2025 Cancellations: A Look at the Shows We Lost

Streaming platforms often make tough calls, and Hulu is no exception. In 2025, several shows got the axe, leaving viewers disappointed as stories ended too soon. From heartfelt comedies to gripping mysteries, the canceled series spanned various genres, each with its own loyal following.

We’re diving into the Hulu shows that didn’t make it past this year. Below, we break down each cancellation, exploring what made these series special and why their endings stung. Let’s take a closer look at the seven shows that won’t be returning.

UnPrisoned (2023-2025)

This comedy-drama followed Paige, a therapist and single mom, navigating life with her teenage son and her formerly incarcerated father, Eddie. Starring Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, the show blended humor with heartfelt family dynamics, earning praise for its fresh take on relationships and redemption.

Despite a strong cast and two seasons of storytelling, Hulu decided to end ‘UnPrisoned’ after its second season. The show’s unique mix of laughs and emotional depth kept us hooked, but low viewership numbers likely sealed its fate. It’s a shame we won’t see more of Paige and Eddie’s journey.

The D’Amelio Show (2021-2024)

This reality series gave us a glimpse into the lives of the D’Amelio family, particularly sisters Charli and Dixie, who skyrocketed to fame on TikTok. The show explored their rise to stardom, family struggles, and the pressures of social media life, offering an unfiltered look at modern celebrity.

Hulu pulled the plug on ‘The D’Amelio Show’ after three seasons. While it captured the chaos of internet fame, declining interest may have led to its cancellation. We’ll miss watching the D’Amelios navigate their whirlwind lives, but their story feels complete for now.

This Fool (2022-2024)

Set in South Central Los Angeles, ‘This Fool’ was a sharp comedy centered on Julio Lopez, a 30-year-old trying to better his community while living with his parents. Chris Estrada, the show’s star and co-creator, brought authenticity and wit to this working-class tale.

After two seasons, Hulu canceled ‘This Fool’, leaving us wanting more of its clever humor and heartfelt moments. The show’s small but dedicated audience wasn’t enough to keep it going. It’s a loss for fans of grounded, irreverent comedies.

Solar Opposites (2020-2025)

This animated sci-fi sitcom followed a family of aliens stuck on Earth after their planet’s destruction. Known for its wild humor and quirky plots, ‘Solar Opposites’ debated whether Earth was a paradise or a mess, delivering laughs through absurd scenarios.

Hulu announced that the show’s sixth season, set to air in fall 2025, will be its last. While the series had a solid run, its conclusion feels bittersweet. We’re sad to say goodbye to these quirky aliens, but a final season offers hope for a proper send-off.

How to Die Alone (2024-2025)

This comedy followed Mel, a JFK airport worker, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after a near-death experience. Natasha Rothwell, the show’s creator and star, delivered a performance that was both funny and deeply moving, earning critical acclaim.

Hulu canceled ‘How to Die Alone’ after just one season, a decision that shocked its growing fanbase. Despite its heartfelt story and strong reviews, the show didn’t pull in enough viewers. We’re left wishing Mel’s story could have continued.

Death and Other Details (2024-2025)

This mystery drama unfolded on a luxury cruise ship, where Imogene Scott, played by Violett Beane, teamed up with detective Rufus Cotesworth, portrayed by Mandy Patinkin, to solve a murder. The show’s intricate plot and stylish setting kept us guessing.

Sadly, Hulu ended ‘Death and Other Details’ after one season. Low viewership likely contributed to the decision, despite the show’s promising cast and premise. It’s disappointing to lose this whodunit before it could fully unravel its mysteries.

Black Cake (2023-2024)

This gripping drama followed the mysterious disappearance of Bride Covey, weaving a tale of family secrets and betrayal across decades. Based on a novel, the show’s rich storytelling and diverse cast made it a standout for its emotional depth.

Hulu canceled ‘Black Cake’ after one season, leaving fans stunned and without closure. The lack of a clear reason for the cancellation adds to the frustration. We’re heartbroken to lose this powerful story so soon.
