'Not Suitable For Work' Canceled By Hulu After One Season
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Hulu has decided not to renew Mindy Kaling's romantic comedy "Not Suitable For Work" for a second season, two months after its Season 1 finale on the Disney streamer.
- The show ended on multiple cliffhangers involving the main characters' love triangles and job uncertainties, leaving storylines unresolved.
- Despite respectable viewership and positive audience reception (82% on Rotten Tomatoes), the series struggled with mixed critical reviews (54%) and did not become a breakout hit.
- The cancellation reflects challenges for YA series featuring lesser-known young actors and unconventional romantic plots, potentially discouraging streamers from similar projects.
- "Not Suitable For Work" was the final installment in Kaling’s loosely autobiographical trilogy about life stages, following "Never Have I Ever" and "The Sex Lives of College Girls."
