For fans, this news just isn’t so great.
Hulu has canceled The Great after three seasons, in response to Deadline. The series, which starred Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult as Catherine the Great and her husband Peter III, had debuted its third, and now final, season back in May.
E! News has reached out to Hulu for comment but has yet to listen to back.
Premiering in 2020, the satirical comedy followed the life of Catherine the Great through the early days of her rule over Russia. Nonetheless, the show took several creative liberties with the life of the long-lasting ruler and wasn’t afraid to place a spin on the classic period drama by creating zany, irreverent characters and storylines. And over the course of three acclaimed seasons, the series picked up seven Emmy nods—including a win for Outstanding Period Costumes in 2022 in addition to nominations for Elle and Nicholas that very same 12 months.
And The Beguiled star has spoken about how she’s grown in her years playing the long-lasting empress. On an expert level, the role allowed the 25-year-old to interrupt out right into a recent kind of character.
