Some Hulu viewers have been left disappointed over this past week as the platform has canceled two of its staple shows.

It’s a different type of hurt when your favorite TV show is canceled after you’ve spent so much time as a fan being devoted to it.

Whether the show ran for ten seasons or just one, the hurt remains the same as you can imagine a world without your favorite fictional characters.

Well, Hulu viewers were hit with a one-two gut punch this week as the platform decided to cancel two of its most popular shows.

Hulu cancels two of its staple shows leaving viewers stunned

First, Hulu announced that they were canceling The Great, a loose historical adaptation of Catherine the Great’s rise to power, after just three seasons.

This was especially heartbreaking, as the show’s most recent season finale will act as the series finale and there hasn’t been a plan to move forward with the season. So, it wasn’t surprising when some fans didn’t take the news well.

Hulu viewers were then taken aback again, as the platform has since decided to cancel How I Met Your Father after two seasons.

The show was a spin-off of How I Met Your Mother, a CBS original comedy which ran for about nine seasons. This cancellation was especially hard for some fans as the show ended with a lot of burning questions still unanswered, particularly who the titular father was.

While a TV show cancellation isn’t anything new in Hollywood, the decisions from Hulu to end two of its most popular original series is quite baffling.

Though there is no solid reason as to why Hulu decided to axe these shows, viewers can only hope both shows can find homes somewhere else to live out their final moments. If not, they just have to live with the remnants of what could’ve been.
