What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the Hulu subscription service, The Premise is a comedy anthology series that was created by host B.J. Novak. Actors appearing in the first season include Ayo Edebiri, Beau Bridges, Ben Platt, Boyd Holbrook, Daniel Dae Kim, Ed Asner, Eric Lange, George Wallace, Jermaine Fowler, Jon Bernthal, Kaitlyn Dever, Lola Kirke, Lucas Hedges, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Soko, and Tracee Ellis Ross. The show combines daring comedic premises with equally daring dramatic performances, creating a new tone for a new time. Episodes use comedy to engage with the big issues of our unprecedented modern era.
The Premise has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could the show be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether FX on Hulu will cancel or renew The Premise for season two. Since Hulu isn’t solely ad-supported, it can take a chance on series it believes in and stories that need telling, but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. This show is an anthology series so the actors don’t have to commit to more than a single episode. That can help keep costs down and attract big-name talent. I think this show will perform well enough to be renewed. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments.
