Zoë Kravitz’s High Fidelity Canceled At Hulu

While the movie High Fidelity may have become a cult classic, the TV show of the same name sadly got the ax this week. Deadline is reporting that Hulu has chosen not to renew its High Fidelity original series for a second season.

The Hulu series was based on a novel by British author Nick Hornsby (who also gave us About A Boy) and later adapted for American audiences with the 2000 film starring John Cusack and, coincidentally, Lisa Bonet. Zoë Kravitz starred as Rob, the record store owner who has struggled a lifetime of failed relationships and trysts and reminiscences on what went wrong with each one. If you’ve seen the movie, the first season follows that overarching plot very closely, but still had very much a life of its own.

The report also stated that the final decision was not easy and came after “lengthy deliberations.” The show, which has been well received by critics and currently has an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kravitz took to Instragram Thursday morning following the announcement to thank the cast and crew for their time and support for the show.

High Fidelity is the latest casualty for the 2020 television year. Fan favorites like Syfy’s The Magicians, Ray Donovan, and even freshmen series Friended By God all saw the end of their run earlier this year. Fox’s Cops finally saw the end of its 32 year run after getting political heat from activists.

Developed for TV by Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka, the series co-starred Jake Lacy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, David H. Holmes, and had fun guest stars like Parker Posey and Debby Harry.
