Creator Stephen Falk said he "just found out" his FX comedy had left Hulu on Tuesday. Hours later, a source blamed a miscommunication, and the show's page was back up.
"You're the Worst" disappeared from Hulu on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and its creator found out the same way fans did.
Stephen Falk posted on Instagram that he "just found out" the FX comedy "left Hulu, well, today," TheWrap reported. He said he didn't know why or "what happens next," and promised to "try to find out any information I can."
Then the story flipped. A person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap the removal was a miscommunication. Falk updated his caption to say the show would be back up "today."
By Tuesday evening, Hulu's series page again listed all five seasons as available to stream, as PNP saw around 7:30 p.m. ET.
Why did You're the Worst leave Hulu?
Nobody has given an official reason. Hulu, FX and Disney haven't commented publicly, and TheWrap's only explanation came from that unnamed source.
Falk's post made it clear he got no heads-up. The A.V. Club reported he used the moment to point out how little contact TV creators have with the people making streaming decisions. The outlet's headline said he criticized both FX and Hulu.
TheWrap also noted the show had never been available to stream anywhere else, so for a few hours fans had no streaming home for it.
Is You're the Worst back on Hulu?
It appears so. Hulu's page for the series lists five seasons and the "Start watching" button, with no "leaving soon" notice. If it's not showing up for you, give the app a refresh.
It streams with a regular Hulu subscription. Hulu content also shows up inside Disney+ for U.S. bundle subscribers through Hulu on Disney+.
What is You're the Worst about?
It's a dark romantic comedy about two people who are very bad at relationships. Jimmy (Chris Geere), a British writer in Los Angeles, and Gretchen (Aya Cash), a music PR executive, meet at a wedding, go home together and start falling for each other against their own better judgment.
Desmin Borges and Kether Donohue co-star as their friends Edgar and Lindsay.
TheWrap pointed out the show was praised for how it handled modern dating, mental health and the struggles veterans face after coming home from war. Borges' Edgar is an Iraq War veteran dealing with PTSD, a storyline that lands a little differently on Veterans Day.
Season 2 took a hard turn into Gretchen's clinical depression, and critics loved it. Seasons 3, 4 and 5 all scored 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
How many seasons of You're the Worst are there?
Five seasons, 62 episodes:
Season 1: 10 episodes, on FX, summer 2014
Season 2: 13 episodes, moved to sister channel FXX, fall 2015
Season 3: 13 episodes, fall 2016
Season 4: 13 episodes, fall 2017
Season 5: 13 episodes, January to April 3, 2019
The show picked up Critics' Choice nominations for best comedy series, and Cash earned nominations from the Critics' Choice and TCA Awards.
Will there be a You're the Worst revival?
Don't hold your breath. In 2024, Falk and the cast said they'd love to make a movie, another season or a holiday special, The A.V. Club reported. Falk added that nothing could happen unless FX wanted it.
The A.V. Club's read on Tuesday's mess: if FX won't pay to keep the show on Hulu, it probably won't pay for a revival. That was before the show came back, though.
Has Hulu pulled other shows recently?
Yes, and fans have been watching closely. Last month, Marvel's Wonder Man left Hulu about three months after Disney canceled its second season. [We covered that one here](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/marvels-wonder-man-leaves-hulu-3). All eight episodes are still on Disney+.
The difference this time is the fix came fast. If you want to binge "You're the Worst" while it's definitely there, now's a good time.
