‘How to Die Alone’ Canceled After One Season on Hulu; Creator-Star Natasha Rothwell Is ‘Baffled’ and Shopping Series Elsewhere (EXCLUSIVE)
Natasha Rothwell writes that she is 'shocked, heartbroken and frankly, baffled' by the cancellation of 'How to Die Alone' on Hulu.
Though a source close to the studio indicates that viewership wasn’t strong enough to renew “How to Die Alone,” Rothwell argues that it was “an undeniable critical, creative and award-winning success.” Indeed, the series achieved a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Variety ‘s review calling it “skillfully crafted” and Rothwell’s performance “flawless.” It also won the Independent Spirit Award for ensemble cast in a new scripted series and has three pending nominations for NAACP Image Awards. In her statement, Rothwell indicated that she is shopping “How to Die Alone” to other platforms, writing, “Representation isn’t just about visibility — it’s about ensuring that our stories, our existence and our cultural contributions are not erased.” I am shocked, heartbroken and frankly, baffled that Onyx has decided not to move forward with a second season of “How to Die Alone.” This is a tough reality to accept because the show is an undeniable critical, creative and award-winning success.
