US EditionNo Season 2 for Comedy 'Mid-Century- Modern' on Hulu
Despite critical acclaim with an 88% Rotten Tomatoes score, Hulu canceled the series due to low viewership and cast contract expirations after one season.
- On Monday, series co-creator Max Mutchnick announced on Instagram that Hulu has canceled Mid-Century Modern after one season.
- Streaming discoverability issues limited the series' reach as it failed to draw a wide audience, a common challenge for original multi-camera sitcoms, and did not appear in Nielsen Top 10 streaming charts.
- Created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan with Ryan Murphy, Mid-Century Modern starred Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham and earned four Emmy nominations including for director James Burrows.
- All ten episodes are now streaming on Hulu, and the cancellation arrives months after the show's March premiere as cast contract options neared expiry.
- Series star Linda Lavin died during filming after completing seven of the season's ten episodes, forcing writers to rework the final three episodes while Pamela Adlon was expected to expand her role.
