Hulu Cancels ‘Difficult People’ After 3 Seasons

It’s a difficult day for Difficult People: after three seasons of laughs, Hulu has cancelled the series that made Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner household names.

Hulu has yet to release an official statement on the cancellation, but Eichner, who played a fictionalized version of himself throughout the show’s run, confirmed the news via Twitter last night.

Difficult People‘s cancellation comes at a time when many critics felt that the show was just hitting its stride. Our own Brett White described Season 3, which premiered this past August, as “perfectly suited to lampooning our national nightmare” and “the anti-Trump comedy we need right now.” The show has never been afraid to take risks—it’s been making Kevin Spacey jokes for the entirety of its three-season run—and as a result, fans immediately identified with the bitter, overly dramatic Julie and Billy.

While we’re sad to see these characters go, we’re happy that they got some closure in the Season 3 finale (**spoilers ahead!**). We finally learned how Julie and Billy met—bonding over their shared hatred of holding someone’s clammy hands in a dance class 16 years ago—and while the episode does get us back to present-day, it returns to their first meeting in the final few minutes.

Right before the new friends are about to part, Billy tells Julie, “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever said this once in my life, but it’s nice to meet you.”

Has anything ever been truer?
