Rating one other unfulfilled cliffhanger for the books, my mates. As we see the 2025 TV schedule progress, Hulu has cancelled a latest favourite of mine. The Natasha Rothwell-led dramedy Die Alone is unfortunately becoming a member of the record of exhibits canceled or ending this 12 months. Though I’m fairly bummed out about this, there’s really a silver lining that would yield some excellent news; if not a message to Hulu subscription holders to stream this one ASAP.
As reported by Selection, this newest one season marvel was confirmed to be lifeless, because of assertion from sequence star/creator Natasha Rothwell. Nonetheless, in a part of that textual content, the Insecure and Sonic the Hedgehog alum did handle to incorporate a quite hopeful sentiment:
This present took me eight years to deliver to life, and if there’s one factor I’ve discovered in that point, it’s resilience. I’m not giving up. My crew and I are dedicated to discovering ‘ Die Alone’ a brand new dwelling as a result of tales like this matter.
The hunt for a brand new dwelling for Die Alone is on, and I, for one, actually hope it pans out. Ms. Rothwell had created a worthy religious successor to her time on Insecure, the place she served as a co-star/author on the Issa Rae-led HBO sequence. Sadly sufficient, this information feels just like Rae’s emotions on Rap Shit’s cancellation in 2024, with company tradition solely persevering with to alter within the streaming panorama.
However, even on a story-driven degree, the primary (and presently, solely) season of Natasha Rothwell’s sequence really ended on an enormous cliffhanger. I received’t spoil these occasions for individuals who wish to watch Die Alone, however simply know that it was most definitely an ending that was meant to arrange extra nice tales.
I’m not even the one particular person on the CinemaBlend workers that’s been personally moved by Rothwell’s creation. Our personal Jerrica Tisdale shared an entire record of the reason why Die Alone linked along with her, which is yet one more sturdy case for why this Onyx Collective sequence is price saving. Whereas most fictional materials has some angles right here and there individuals can relate to, the trials and tribulations of lead character Mel have been among the most grounded examples of humor within the human expertise.
Followers of the previous SNL author received’t have to attend too lengthy to see her on TV once more. That is as a result of Natasha Rothwell’s return to The White Lotus in Season 3 is shut at hand, so you will quickly see her distinctive comedian timing at play as soon as extra. It’s a comforting thought, however I’ve to say that I aspect with the girl of the hour with regards to the dedication to complete the story of her Hulu sequence.
Whether or not it’s an open-ended resurrection at one other community, or perhaps a one-off film particular that ties up all the unfastened ends, the story of Mel and her life classes at JFK Airport ought to have a correct ending. So, whereas I am going to undertake the mindset of mourning this sequence’ premature cancellation, I will not completely write off the hopes that Ms. Rothwell and her crew shall be cleared for takeoff but once more.
