Hulu Cancels 'The Great' After Three Acclaimed Seasons

The period comedy-drama 'The Great' has been cancelled by Hulu after three seasons.
The show starred Elle Fanning as Catherine the Great and Nicholas Hoult as Peter III, depicting a fictionalized version of Catherine's rise to power in Russia.
'The Great' received critical acclaim and several Emmy nominations over its run.
The cancellation comes despite the show's popularity, with no clear reason given by Hulu.
Showrunner Tony McNamara had originally planned six seasons but gave season three a satisfying conclusion.
