‘The Great’ After Season 3: Cancelled by Hulu (2026)
Updated July 2026. The release this post covered turned out to be the show’s last. Hulu cancelled The Great roughly three and a half months after Season 3 premiered as a full binge release in May 2023, ending Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult’s dark comedy about Catherine the Great’s rise to power after three seasons. The cancellation came despite near-universal critical acclaim across all three seasons; industry reporting pointed to soft viewership on Hulu relative to the platform’s other originals as the likely reason. No revival, streaming-service move, or follow-up project has materialized since. Fanning and Hoult have both moved on to other film and TV work, and the show’s three seasons remain available to stream on Hulu.
