One memorable moment from Not Suitable for Work features AJ accidentally sending a scathing email about her boss to the entire office, then frantically trying to recall it while her coworkers read it aloud. The scene captures the show’s blend of workplace anxiety and millennial humor. Yet that may be the last we will watch of the show.

As the news of Hulu pulling the plug on the show's future is out, an end is being put to this office chaos.

Hulu pulls the plug on Mindy Kaling’s comedy

Hulu has decided not to move forward with a second season of the comedy Not Suitable for Work, ending the series after one nine-episode run, as Variety has reported exclusively. The show, created by Mindy Kaling and executive produced with Charlie Grandy and Howard Klein, launched in June 2026. Warner Bros. Television, which produces the series, plans to shop it to potential new homes.

The cancellation came despite a cast that included Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay, and Jay Ellis. Recurring guest stars included Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Judy Gold, Ego Nwodim and Constance Wu. The series centered on work-obsessed 20-somethings striving for professional success and personal happiness in Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighborhood.

This news came via a Variety exclusive, which confirmed that Hulu will not renew the show. The series represented Kaling’s first sole creator credit since The Mindy Project, which ran for six seasons across Fox and Hulu. Despite mixed reviews, the show aimed to deliver a biting take on young professionals juggling jobs and love in New York City.

While one Hulu comedy has reached its end, the streamer has another series turning attention toward mysteries that remain painfully unresolved.

Somebody Knows something brings unsolved cases to Hulu

The opening episodes focus on two missing children cases. The first investigates the 1997 disappearance of five-month-old Sabrina Aisenberg from her crib in Valrico, Florida. The second examines the disappearance of 16-year-old Lashaya Stine from Aurora, Colorado, in 2016. Both cases remain unsolved.

Chamberlain brings personal experience to the investigations while working alongside families, law enforcement and the true crime community. The series centers on the possibility that someone possesses a forgotten detail or crucial piece of information capable of moving a case forward.
