This Fool will not be returning for a third season. Hulu has cancelled the comedy series created by Chris Estrada, Pat Bishop, Matt Ingebretson, and Jake Weisman. The 10-episode second season was released on the streaming service in July.

Estrada, Frankie Quiñones, Laura Patalano, Michelle Ortiz, Julia Vera, and Michael Imperioli star in the series, which follows the working class of South Central Los Angeles. The story focuses on Julio Lopez (Estrada), a thirty-year-old man living with his mother and grandmother in his childhood bedroom. He has been dating his girlfriend since high school and finds any excuse to avoid focusing on his problems. Julio works at Hugs Not Thugs, a gang rehabilitation non-profit, where he butts heads with his older cousin Luis (Quiñones), an ex-gang member who just got out of prison and moved in with Julio and his family.

THR shared the following about the cancellation of the show.

Sources say This Fool will remain on Hulu’s platform after the streamer put a big marketing push behind both seasons of the series, which despite strong reviews, failed to find an audience large enough to justify a third season.

The show launched in August 2022 and ends its run with a total of 20 episodes.
