Hulu Pulls the Plug on Mindy Kaling's 'Not Suitable for Work' After One Run

Hulu's done with Not Suitable for Work. The Mindy Kaling comedy series, which dropped back in June, won't be getting a season two—the streamer just canceled it after one round.

Kaling created the show, banking on the kind of workplace chaos humor that's worked for her before. But apparently the vibe didn't stick around long enough to justify another cycle. One season, then out. That's the streaming game right now—if something doesn't move the meter immediately, it's getting the ax before audiences even know what to do with it.

This is the brutal reality for mid-tier comedies on platforms chasing algorithms and subscriber bumps. Shows don't always get the breathing room they used to. Hulu's already got a packed slate, and if the numbers or buzz weren't there in those early weeks, there's not much runway left.

Kaling's got plenty of other irons in the fire, so this won't break her. But it's another reminder that even established creators can't guarantee survival in the streamer economy. The equation is simple: novelty, metrics, rinse, repeat. If you don't hit that sweet spot right away, you're getting shelved.
