Hulu has canceled 'THE GREAT' after three seasons.

Surprise in the television world after the cancellation of one of the most acclaimed period series of recent times. After three seasons, it was announced the cancellation of a black comedy that received critical acclaim and gained a strong fan base. It is The Great, a period series starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, which revolutionized the genre. Unlike other shows of its kind, this satire showed the worst face of this type of society, separating it from shows like Bridgerton or The Crown.

As reported by Deadline, Hulu has officially decided to cancel The Great after three seasons. Despite the acclaim and success the comedy show has had, the network decided not to continue with the story and will put an end to the show. The decision is quite surprising and has caused a stir. This, considering that the three seasons of The Great have an incredible rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In addition, they have earned 20 Emmy Award nominations and it is one of the network's most successful shows. The studio did not give an official reason for now.

The Great is a dramatization of the story of Catherine the Great, the Russian empress who assumed the throne after dethroning her own husband. Although it is based on some historical facts, it uses comedy to exaggerate some things and interpret them in what has been a revolution in the genre. Elle Fanning is the protagonist of this story. Nicholas Hoult plays her husband, Emperor Peter III. Both were nominated for Emmy Awards for their acclaimed performances.

Although many fans were hoping for a new season, the third installment seems to have given the story an ending. Thus, at least the central points will have been completed before its cancellation.
