Tuca & Bertie canceled, again, after two seasons on Adult Swim
Adult Swim previously rescued the series, which stars Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish, after Netflix axed it
Tuca & Bertie, the beloved animated comedy starring Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish, has been canceled. Like Netflix before them, Adult Swim will no longer be making new episodes. Though credit where it’s due, Adult Swim let the show run for a second season before giving it the ax.
Canceling Tuca & Bertie never gets any easier. It was difficult for the people who made it and fans who watched it when the show was initially canceled by Netflix in 2019. Adult Swim, surprisingly, swooped in to snatch up the show in 2020, letting it run for two seasons of increased viewership, according to Deadline.
“Tuca & Bertie has sadly been canceled,” show creator Lisa Hanawalt tweeted. But, as before, Hanawalt believes there is a chance that the show will, again, go on in some capacity.
“I still have a beautiful and weird ending to T&B in mind, hopefully someday we’ll get the chance to finish their story,“ Hanawalt wrote in a statement. “In the meantime, I’m not done creating. I’ve witnessed so many people connecting with this show on a profound level, and I intend to keep telling stories like this, no matter what.”
