The sudden streaming cancellation actually may be the beginning of an unexpected secondary life for Mindy Kaling's latest workplace comedy.

However, Warner Bros. is already crafting a rescue strategy that might turn this disappointing ending into a major success story elsewhere.

Hope remains alive as Warner Bros. decides to flip the coin.

Warner Bros. Television prepares new future for Not Suitable for Work

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Television plans to shop Not Suitable for Work to alternative networks following its 9-episode debut run this past June.

Starring Ella Hunt, Avantika Vandanapu, Will Angus, Jack Martin, and Nicholas Duvernay, the story captured modern young adulthood. The central premise highlights the chaotic workplace dynamics and romantic entanglements of work-obsessed young professionals trying to balance ambition and personal connections.
