High Fidelity that stars Zoë Kravitz has been removed from Hulu. The show only aired for one season when the cancelation notice was handed out.
High Fidelity is a drama that was created based on the Nick Hornby novel that was published in 1995. It was also adapted into a movie in 2000, and it starred John Cusack.
The cancelation announcement
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hulu confirmed on Wednesday that the show would not be renewed for a second season.
It was revealed that Disney originally ordered for the American romantic comedy show to be a series. This was two years ago when the company acquired Hulu and Disney Plus streaming was still being set up.
Later, it was decided that High Fidelity will only be streamed via Hulu. This was because it produces adult-themed stories that are not suitable for Disney Plus’ PG rating.
Critics praised the drama that was created by Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka, but sadly, it can’t continue anymore. This was also co-produced by Kravitz, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner, Andre Nemec, and Scott Rosenberg.
Hopes for the second season of High Fidelity
As High Fidelity has a decent number of followers and it gained good feedback, Kravitz hoped that they would get a renewal order.
She wanted to produce a second season and said they still have many more stories to tell. If turned into a series, they can further explore the characters and storylines, but Hulu has to renew the show first.
“I think the show has a lot of potentials,” she told Variety in an interview that took place in June. “I think there’s a lot more growing to do for everybody and a lot more trouble to get into. There’s a lot of places we could go and I would love to go there.”
