after one season, star Zoë Kravitz called out the streaming service for not having shows with much diversity.High Fidelity“I wanna give a shout out to my #highfidelity family. Thank you for all the love and heart you put into this show. I’m in awe of all of you. And thank you to everyone who watched, loved and supported us. #breakupssuck,” she wrote.
Several actors, including Tessa Thompson, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry and others, commented on the photos, offering condolences that the show will not continue.Kravitz replied to her, “It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait.” “High Fidelity” was a gender-bending, modern reimagining of the 2000 film starring John Cusack, with Kravitz playing his role. She starred as Rob, a pop culture-obsessed owner of a record store. Jake Lacy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and David H. Holmes rounded out the cast of the single season, which was critically praised.
Noooooo....LOVED this show! WTF hulu
Well Zoe needs to blame the viewers, not Hulu. Hulu is about making money. if u had the ratings , show would still be on, they dont care if u are black or not. Should have been better promoted or more people should have watched it, that is how this works.
If it’s a crap show - which it is/was - then it deserves to be cancelled.
I don't care about diversity. Just give me good shows with a cold cast. I don't want more/less shows with 'people of color'. I want the people who talk about 'people of color' to fuck off.
__aarum Seriously hulu is this true!!
I really enjoyed it, sad they canceled it..
Here’s a tip: Make a better next time.
solomonmissouri I didn't even know this existed. Who did the marketing?
beabearrrr
Why was it canceled? Oh, Wait? Was anyone watching? Or is Hulu a charity?
absurd. Not to mention she a bad actress
So was Hulu supposed to keep it on even if no one was watching it?
Nooooooooooooooo! That show is everything. Every music lover... No!
Show sucked
Blame your fellow black community members for not supporting your show cause it has been stated these shows are not for anyone else
'Shows starring women of colour we can watch' ---- Insecure, The CHI, Mixed-ish, KC Undercover, Living Single, STAR, Queen Sugar, Grown-ish, Good Times, Bring it!, Saints and Sinners, Shots Fired, The Paynes, How to Get Away With Murder, to name a few with 5 minutes looking
The show sucked, get over it
ReaganGomez Hulu is pretty whack to begin with. The only reason to have it is because of a refusal to have cable.
IAmSophiaNelson Lefties blaming racism for their shows being crappy. 😂😂😅😅😂😂😅😅
IAmSophiaNelson Grow up.
Why not create a new show instead of making the male character of an already very loved film into a female character. This was not an original show and sorry but her acting was horrible in this. (By the way I was very excited about the show beforehand)
Maybe her show just sucked.
How about just making a good show? Then you don't need to worry about color.
So they have to keep a show that is underperforming just because the lead is a black woman.
ReaganGomez Wtf?! This show was so good!
Both of her parents are half black so she’s like 25% black.
Privileged hollywood child complains about cancelled show only perpetuates stereotypes
Did hulu cancel orville because racism too?
A bad show, like this one, earns their cancellations
News flash for you Zoe: people like shows that are good, not bad. People don't watch a show simply because of the color of the star's skin.
Everyone is thinking she got job for who her parents are
She is the rock star..not a nerdy collector.
Record store nerds..she wasnt cast right
But it was a piece of shit trash fire? Good.
O shade edulmarcon
ReaganGomez High Fidelity was a great show! She DOES have a point HULU does NOT have a lot of diverse shows and they Def did NOT promote that show the way it should of been! It’s funny seeing people comment on a show they prob didn’t even watch! If you didn’t watch shut up and sit down
Come on.... 🙄🙄🙄 Stop to victimise it's just boring
High fidelity was great it deffff deserved a second season!
Wasn’t a good show. What about that
She wasn't complaining in January so.....
She must get this from her moms side.
tough break sis
Perhaps it wasn't good enough and had poor ratings? So nothing about race at all, but sure twist it that way if it makes you feel better.
I actually found hulu too diverse tbh so i canceled
Ah the ever self serving “it’s not about me it’s much bigger” card, played a day late by a woman born into wealth and privilege.
Maybe it just isn’t a good show that people aren’t watching 🤷🏻♂️ and they are doing that thing called business
I'm white, they're not made for me according to woke rules. Shows are only meant so you can see yourself onscreen, and, I'm not a wealthy woman of color. 🤷♀️👽
What? That was actually a really good show
This probably won’t help other shows centered on POC to get greenlit.
LOL
Instead of complaining like you always do. Start your own steaming service. Stop telling other services what they need to do. You want to watch a show with more woman of color. Turn on the WNBA. Watch something real instead of fake. Hollywood is dead! So is Variety.
Well for starters, DISNEY owns Hulu.
Zoë attacked 👨🏿- Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson on her Hulu show. You cannot help try to tear down blacks and then cry about “lack of diversity” after your show get cancelled. No! Zoë, this is payback for the evil you did.
SHE'S RIGHT AND SHE SHOULD SAY IT.
She’s RIGHT!!!
After the disaster of season of VeronicaMars and this one, I'm absolutely sure that hulu doesn't like shows starring women. Either they destroy them or cancel them
I mean she's right?
Shows arent chosen for skin color
That show deserved to be cancelled for insulting Michael Jackson
Or your show didn't have good viewing figures and you're not that good of an actress 🙄
Has anyone watched the show? Was it any good?
It’s a cliche at this point. There’s never enough diversity. There’s never enough representation and inclusion. These people that need to see representation of themselves on tv in order to feel “validated” are just sad.
Thousands of channels, streaming services, dvds, blu rays, pod casts, You Tube content and these people complain they can’t find anything to watch!! I don’t want to see tv that represents me. I want to be taken to another world, another time, another place.
Another black whiner - tell me something new - I'm bored stiff
Anybody can make a movie now, its not expensive. Get some money, get an iphone, get some actors, write and direct it, edit it, then post it on Youtube or Facebook. Stop whining and race bating for political purposes.
Zoe Kravitz has benefited greatly from having famous parents. She would never have been given the opportunities she has as she's not a good actress and even good ones don't get breaks like she has. Her statement shows how clueless she is to her privilege.
The flick and the book were so personal to me and I’m sure a ton of other people. Was worried about the series potentially trampling on it. But ZoeKravitz was fucking fire and made it the same but something else entirely. She’s incredible and cancelling it is bullshit.
Anti white racist
i didnt mourn for your character from fantastic beasts COG Prefer Tina and you played a Lestrange
I’ve heard it’s a good show, but if not enough people watch to justify the cost, it is what it is. Production companies aren’t in the business of losing money
Thats what you and Hulu get for having this scene:
Honestly it wasn’t that good... And that opinion really has nothing to do with the cast
This is not the best move from Hulu. Especially since there is not much diversity to begin with.
So is the problem with Hulu for not making shows people won’t watch? Or should we have a mandate for such things?
Was the show any good?
Funny thing. They don’t cancel it if they make money. Therefore I would say it didn’t have many viewers. Let’s us not pay attention to the fact that she isn’t a great actor
Not a Zoe fan&don’t care if she was born into luck she is dead right, hulu will have a black stories category every February but will not invest in black talent/storytellers the other 11 months, but check the marketing for their shows, they rely on black culture to push them.
Sure, that attitude will definitely incentivize companies to do more shows starring white women of color 🤦♂️
What’s that called StephenCurry30 😳
Yeah they cancelled you because you are black.
Hear! Hear!
Zoe ZoeKravitz girl. Your show lacked interest. Get over it. I was subscripted to Hulu. I saw the commercials. I wasn't interested. Periodt
I loved that show, was never really a fan of Zoe Kravitz but she was awesome. Maybe Prime or Netflix will pick it up.
I still don’t understand why this was cancelled.
__reegiinaa__ as she should !!!!
I love hulu
IAmCreeSummer I thought that was Lisa Bonnet at first glance!
Does Hulu need more diversity? Yes. However, that doesn’t excuse the fact that HF was a mediocre show that didn’t merit a renewal.
Ugh this sucks. I fucking LOVED the High Fidelity series. This is a crushing disappointment.
_DianaSu Now every time anbshow fails because it is bad and does not attract attention, it will try to say that it is a victim, saying that diversity is lacking. Just say your show is a flop
AkilahObviously AkilahObviously ira louisvirtel Can I have KeepIt to Hulu for this nonsense of cancelling HighFidelity 😘Zoë deserves better! 💔
Ah, who else remembers the days when shit got canceled because it wasn't good & nobody watched it and that was that.
Get em my Chica
AkilahObviously hulu What the hell! Why was highfidelitycanceled? HighFidelity is/was beautiful,smart and fun!
Why do people complain there aren't enough diverse tv shows? Lol as if Hulu planned it that way lol we are living in an age where diversity is at an all time high, why doesnt she create her own show and stop bitching lol
So stupid. Imagine thinking everything in life is about race. Maybe viewership wasn’t there. Gee, maybe that’s it. Should they keep a show with mediocre viewership that does nothing for them just because Zoe Kravitz is black? Now, THAT would be racist. 🙄
BlerdMommy Disappointed- we really wanted more of this show!
AkilahObviously Everyone in my household loved this show
If that is true, they had a responsibility to keep it and make it better.
So what she's saying is that if a show with a black lead actor fails to get the numbers, the network or streaming service should keep doing it in the name of diversity?
AkilahObviously That's too bad, my wife, and I really like the show, and wanted to see where she went with the character.
as she should
Everytime
Never saw her show, but it looked like it was going to be good. Want to check it out, still. The movie was boring, though.
This was a great show too 😔
The cast was diverse but the writers and team behind didn’t appear to be.
as she should
Get woke, go broke. Are there any exceptions? Hollywood has shoehorned every possible diversity in the faces of every viewer in literally every show and movie and commercial on tv. It's some other world young creatives believe is real. Get diverse writers. No tokens.
It’s a wide open world in Entertainment. Don’t let it get you down. Go start your own cable network and be what you wanna be! There is room for everyone, bandwidth is BIG 😊- LNZ
The level of entitlement that (some) black people have been infantilized to by the woke regressive left is insane. Imagine your show failing and you playing the race card when the comapany carrying it decides to pull the plug. INSANE. Truly unbelievable.
Not going to lie: I thought this was a pic of Lisa Bonet until I read it was her daughter. WOW at the resemblance to Denise Huxtable!
Nothing to do with the fact she’s an underwhelming actress born into luck
Oh now she’s a minority as she has skin in the game if her show is not canceled which she has said anything about diversity! I really doubt it!
She did what needed to be done. lawroach
