Popular comedy series How to Die Alone has been canceled after one season on Hulu, leaving star and creator Natasha Rothwell in complete confusion.
"I am shocked, heartbroken, and frankly, baffled that Onyx has decided not to move forward with a second season of How to Die Alone," said Rothwell in a statement shared by Variety. "This is a tough reality to accept because the show is an undeniable critical, creative, and award-winning success."
Premiering just last September, How to Die Alone stars Rothwell as Mel, "a broke, fat, Black JFK Airport employee who’s never been in love and forgotten how to dream," reads the show's official logline. "Until an accidental brush with death catapults her on a journey to finally take flight and start living by any means necessary."
Rothwell is now shopping around for a new studio to take on the series that took her "eight years to bring to life." The star added, "I’m not giving up. My team and I are committed to finding How to Die Alone a new home because stories like this matter. Representation isn’t just about visibility – it’s about ensuring that our stories, our existence, and our cultural contributions are not erased."
