A animated adult comedy from creator Lisa Hanawalt, Tuca & Bertie stars Tiffany Haddish, Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, Nicole Byer, Richard E. Grant, John Early, Reggie Watts, Tig Notaro, Amber Ruffin, Jermaine Fowler, and Tessa Thompson. The series centers on Tuca (Haddish), a lively, confidant toucan, and her long-time best friend, an anxious songbird named Bertie (Wong).
The first (and only) season was released on May 3rd of this year and the streaming service has been quiet about Tuca & Bertie’s future. Typically, Netflix makes a decision about a show’s future in the first month after a season’s release so, no news isn’t typically good news.
Today, Netflix broke its silence. “Lisa Hanawalt created a relatable yet whimsical world in Tuca and Bertie. We’re grateful to Lisa, and her fellow executive producers Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Noel Bright, Steven A. Cohen, and EPs/stars Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, along with all of the writers and animators for sharing the funny and dynamic female bird duo of Tuca and Bertie with the world. While Tuca and Bertie won’t have a second season, we’re proud to feature this story on Netflix for years to come.”
Hanawalt responded to the cancellation on Twitter and thanked those who have supported the program.
