Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

57. Lovecraft Country

Network: Hulu
Status: Canceled after one season

People who watched the show Lovecraft Country can probably take a wild guess at why it was canceled. The series was nominated for eighteen Emmys, and it was one of Hulu’s best-liked, standout shows. After the first season ended, Lovecraft Country was in limbo for several months until Hulu announced its fate.

It announced that Lovecraft Country was canceled, effectively turning it into a limited series. The reason why was that Hulu killed off most of the series’ main characters, including Atticus, Montrose, and Uncle George. A second season just wasn’t sustainable, and the plot decision makes you wonder if Hulu intended to make it a one-season show all along.
