'How to Die Alone' Canceled After One Critically Acclaimed Season on Hulu

Natasha Rothwell expresses heartbreak and vows to find a new home for the series after Onyx Collective's unexpected decision.

The Hulu comedy series 'How to Die Alone,' created by and starring Natasha Rothwell, has been canceled after one season despite critical acclaim and award recognition.
Rothwell described the decision as 'shocking and baffling,' citing the show's strong reception, including a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes and multiple award wins and nominations.
The series followed Mel, a Black JFK Airport employee navigating life after a near-death experience, and was praised for its humor, heart, and representation of underrepresented voices.
Onyx Collective, a Disney brand focused on creators of color, attributed the cancellation to insufficient viewership, though Rothwell plans to shop the series to other platforms.
Rothwell emphasized the importance of diverse storytelling and representation, stating she remains committed to ensuring the series' story continues.
