The Other Black Girl will not be returning for a second season. The comedy-drama thriller from the Onyx Collection was released on Hulu in September 2023.
Starring Sinclair Daniel, Ashleigh Murray, Brittany Adebumola, Hunter Parrish, Bellamy Young, Eric McCormack, and Garcelle Beauvais, the series is based on the novel of the same by Zakiya Dalila Harris.
The story follows a young female editorial assistant named Nella (Daniel) at a book publisher who is the only Black employee at her company, but that soon changes. She’s excited when Hazel-May (Murray) is hired. But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company.

Added Hickey: “Since we changed the ending, we want the chance to show everyone what’s going to happen now. There’s a lot to explore.”
