Alex Cooper's 'Love Overboard' Gets Canceled After One Season on Hulu

The dating show experiment didn't stay afloat.

Alex Cooper's reality dating venture is sinking. Hulu has pulled the plug on Love Overboard after just one season, the podcast queen's latest swing at TV production coming up short.

Hosted by Gabby Windey—who fans know from The Bachelorette and The Traitors—the show put 22 contestants on a luxury yacht where romance and competition mixed like oil and water. The premise had potential: love on the open sea, challenges for access, the whole thing. But apparently it didn't connect the way Cooper and the network hoped.

This is a reminder that even when you've got a massive platform (Cooper's podcast pulls millions), translating that into TV gold is a whole different game. The dating show lane is crowded anyway—between Netflix, ABC, and every streaming service trying to replicate Love Island energy, there's a lot of noise. Love Overboard just didn't cut through.

Cooper's still got her bread from Call Her Daddy, so this doesn't hurt her bottom line. But it's worth noting: not every podcast star's got the Midas touch for traditional media.
