Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership statistics, it is difficult to predict whether Hulu will cancel or renew The First for season two. While there are positive reviews, many note that this is not the type of fare sci-fi fans may expect. Will that help or hurt its chances? Stay tuned.

What do you think? Were you hoping that The First TV series would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that Hulu cancelled this TV show, instead?
I’d love to see a second season
I am dying to see another season of this. It was just masterful.
“The First” did the deep work of building a realistic backstory. In deference to Rolling Stone critique, the backstory IS the reason we move forward. I hope we have not seen the last of the show.
I really enjoyed season 1 of The First. I hope it will be renewed!
I love the season, I was able to really get to know the characters on the ground, want to see them in space! Please renew for Season 2.
Great show ! I hope it will be renewed. Penn is magistral.
The first is a great innovative thought provoking show with wrenching pain love and addiction, it has all the necessary elements it takes to make what I think is a awesome show not to mention the acting of Sean penn which goes without saying . I would think that it’ll be returned for a second season it’s just going to get better.
My wife and I LOVE this show, HULU you’ve GOT to renew it!!!
I LOVE this show! Another reason to continue to get HULU. Please don’t cancel it!
PLEASE RENEW!! Love this show. I’ve watched it 3 times now to catch all the nuances that each episode contains. I really want to find out who the mystery man is and how he has influenced everyone’s fate.
The First could be Hulu’s “The Expanse,” perhaps even better because it tells its story with deep humanity. The technology is spot on for the near-future they are presenting in the first season. Please consider renewing this intelligent and deeply moving show!
yes bring it back its very good
Awesome show. Great acting and the story is just starting in my opinion. Love that it’s set in the 2030’s. Cool concept.
Hope it’s renewed … just binge watched the first season, great show
Wonderful show. Really hoping it’s renewed.
