Hulu is calling it a wrap on The Other Black Girl.
The workplace drama starring Sinclair Daniel (Insidious: The Red Door) has been cancelled after one season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Adapted from Zakiya Dalila Harris’ bestselling novel, the series centered on Nella (played by Daniel), an editorial assistant who was tired of being the only Black girl at the fictional publishing house Wagner Books. She was excited when Hazel (Riverdale‘s Ashleigh Murray) was hired, but spiraled following a series of microaggressions that occurred just as Hazel’s star began to rise.

Nella then uncovered a sinister plot involving Hazel, who was revealed to be recruiter for a secret cult led by Nella’s book idol Diana Gordon (Garcelle Beauvais), who used a special hair grease to brainwash Black women into assimilating in white society.
The season finale — now serving as a series finale — saw Nella attend a staff meeting with straightened hair instead of her natural afro, suggesting she assimilated. However, a subsequent phone call to resistance allies Malaika (The CW’s 4400 reboot vet Brittany Adebumola) and Kendra Rae (Bel-Air’s April Parker Jones) alluded to Nella working to bring the organization down from the inside.
The cast also included Hunter Parrish (Weeds) as Nella’s boyfriend Owen, Bellamy Young (Scandal) as Nella’s editor Vera and Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) as the company’s top man Richard Wagner.
All 10 episodes premiered in a binge drop on Sept. 13.

Damn, that was quick. Did anyone watch it?

Heathenrites · 2024-05-11T10:09:16-0400

Damn. I guess I won't start watching it then.

babyivemissedu · 2024-05-11T10:10:27-0400

I loved it ughhh

pentacles · 2024-05-11T10:13:22-0400

It seemed like a limited series.

LiberianGirl · 2024-05-11T10:14:28-0400

I actually liked it a little even though I didn’t care for the book
But not enough to care what happened next
Like someone else said it was limited

Viktor · 2024-05-11T10:17:37-0400

Ugh, I just wanted to see more of Garcelle, honestly.

wanderwoman · 2024-05-11T10:32:09-0400

I liked it.

ThePinUpGirl · 2024-05-11T10:36:49-0400

Nooo! I loved it! But I can also see why they cancelled it. It had a finished feeling to it, for me. Though admittedly, I would've loved to see what happened next.

Stantonlikzaddy · 2024-05-11T10:39:56-0400

I wish they wrapped it up more succinctly but I get it...it was also triggering in a good way about us at work

Lol I came in to say the same thing. I thought it was a mini-series/long movie. I watched the first few episodes, but the characters started getting on my nerves, so I stopped watching.

That show was hard to watch. Too triggering.

itsmemariah · 2024-05-11T11:06:56-0400

I watched the whole thing and I thought it was decent. It's based on a book so I already assumed it wasn't going to come back.

Edit: Ik this is random but the main actress and her yt boyfriend had zero chemistry. He could've easily been her roommate.

ScorpioRising · 2024-05-11T11:11:37-0400

It didn't go in the direction I thought it would. I'm ok with this

ninam0sley · 2024-05-11T11:22:44-0400

unfortunate for ashleigh murray. this is her third show she has been on post riverdale to be canceled.

I hope her next gig is her best gig and is long lasting.

I didn't know the show existed.

It ends like a limited series would, so don't be afraid of a cliffhanger.

LaVita Bella · 2024-05-11T12:16:32-0400

I enjoyed the series but don’t think it needed another season

justice denied · 2024-05-11T12:32:20-0400

I enjoyed it but like others thought it was a limited series.

knc286 · 2024-05-11T13:08:19-0400

I read the book and watched the series. I wished they would have renewed it to tie up some loose ends. Well, oh, well.

vantablaque · 2024-05-11T13:44:44-0400

i was under the impression it was a one off series anyway. if it is not yt centric, supernatural or superpowers i already concluded no second season.

Quince · 2024-05-11T13:53:16-0400

i read the book and i don’t really see how they could’ve stretched the premise out beyond a limited series.

BlazayBlah · 2024-05-11T14:09:50-0400

The book wasn’t good so I knew the show wouldn’t be

luckygirl93 · 2024-05-11T14:19:48-0400

I didn’t get the chance to watch it yet but it looked kinda corny. So I’m not surprised, Hulu doesn’t do good with black female characters.

All right. Pretty much everyone is saying the same so I'll go ahead and give it a watch.

didn't make it past the first two episodes because it was so triggering.

ValentineGirl81 · 2024-05-11T14:46:39-0400

I really liked it, but I agree it felt like a miniseries which is what Hulu does best in my opinion. It didn't need another season.

BotswanaB · 2024-05-11T14:47:09-0400

I thought it was just a limited series, I didn’t expect another season.

LaGrandeDame · 2024-05-11T15:32:36-0400

1. Wasn't it supposed to be a one and done?

2. Has there actually been any show that was meant to be just a season and ended up being renewed for the better? I've yet to see this be the case (see: Big Little Lies and Revenge), which is why I've come to admire the showrunners that stick to their guns.
