Hulu has canceled its comedy series Mid-Century Modern after a single season.
Co-creator Max Mutchnick wrote in an Instagram post Monday that the show is done: “Ten great episodes … Not enough. But we loved making every single one of them. We’re gonna miss our very special show. Thanks to everyone who watched.”
Mutchnick and David Kohan (Will & Grace) created the series, which centered on three gay men “of a certain age” (Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham) who, after an unexpected death, decide to move in together in a house in Palm Springs. The late Linda Lavin, in one of her final roles, also starred as the mother of Lane’s character.
Hulu took Mid-Century Modern to series in August 2024, less than two months after ordering a pilot. The Disney-owned streamer released the season as a binge drop in late March. It received generally positive reviews from critics but didn’t break into the upper echelon of streaming series, never making Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming shows list.
The series earned four Emmy nominations, for director James Burrows and for production design, sound mixing for a half-hour series and picture editing for a multicamera comedy.
Disney’s 20th Television produced Mid-Century Modern. Creators Kohan and Mutchnick executive produced along with Ryan Murphy, Burrows, Lane and Bomer.
