Not Suitable for Work has been canceled at Hulu. The comedy from Mindy Kaling and Charlie Grandy will not return to the streamer, but is it the end of the line for the title?
The show, which follows five twentysomethings, made a splash when it debuted at the beginning of June and continued to hold audiences’ attention every week as new installments dropped on the platform, but since the finale dropped, it was unclear where the show’s popularity stood for renewal chances after a major cliffhanger, no less.
While the cancellation is certainly a setback, we’re keeping fingers crossed the show may find a new streaming home before the final call is made. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about a potential second season of Not Suitable for Work, and teasing what could be in store based on Season 1’s twist ending. Scroll down for a closer look and stay tuned for updates as we wait to see if the show will be saved.
Has Not Suitable for Work been renewed for Season 2?
Not Suitable for Work was canceled by Hulu after a single season. According to Variety, “Warner Bros. TV, which produces the series, plans to shop it to potential new homes.” In other words, if a different streamer or network was interested in exploring the series further, Not Suitable for Work is open to a return. For now, fans will have to stand by and hope a save is on the horizon.
When could Not Suitable for Work Season 2 premiere?

As we await potential pickup news for Not Suitable for Work after its Hulu cancellation, it’s difficult to predict when new episodes would arrive as the new timeline depends on the show being saved.
Who would star in Not Suitable for Work Season 2?
Not Suitable for Work‘s ensemble consists of Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, and Nicholas Duvernay as AJ, Abby, Davis, Josh, and Kel. Considering the fabric of this unlikely friend group who occupy the same Murray Hill apartment, we’d hope they’d all return for a second season if it’s saved, with some of the guest stars and recurring characters that were seen in Season 1 like Jay Ellis, Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Judy Gold, Ego Nwodim, Harry Richardson, Constance Wu, Laura Bell Bundy, May Hong, Bhavesh Patel, Emilia Suárez, and Michael Benjamin Washington. Keep an eye out for any potential updates.
What would Not Suitable for Work Season 2 be about?
Not Suitable for Work follows the occupants of two apartments from the same Murray Hill-located New York City apartment, with friends Abby and AJ in the place across the hall from Davis, Josh, and Kel. We’d anticipate a second season to continue exploring their dynamic as a friend group, and anticipate a potential love triangle after Davis and AJ were caught kissing by his roommate, Josh, who also happens to be AJ’s first hookup in college. Needless to say, there’s plenty of drama to build on for a second season.
Who would make Not Suitable for Work Season 2?
Created for TV by Mindy Kaling, she executive produced Not Suitable for Work‘s first season with showrunner Charlie Grandy and Howard Klein. The show was produced by Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, where both Kaling and Grandy are under overall deals. We’d expect the same creatives to return for more, should Season 2 be picked up.
