Hulu Cancels Mindy Kaling's Not Suitable for Work

Warner Bros. Television is shopping the nine-episode comedy to other networks and streamers to try to preserve its unresolved cliffhanger storylines.

Overview

  • The decision not to renew the show was reported on Aug. 25, 2026 and first flagged by Variety before being confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.
  • Warner Bros. Television, which produces the series with Kaling International and 3 Arts Entertainment, is actively shopping the show to potential new homes.
  • Not Suitable for Work premiered in June 2026, ran nine episodes, and was created and executive produced by Mindy Kaling with showrunner Charlie Grandy and Howard Klein.
  • Critics gave the series mixed reviews while audience scores were substantially stronger, and the season finale ended with at least one major cliffhanger that leaves multiple character arcs unresolved.
  • The cancellation comes as Hulu has recently passed on several youth‑focused pilots, a pattern that could reshape where similar comedies land and will leave cast and crew hoping a new platform will pick up the series.
