Natasha Rothwell took to social media to react to the news that “How To Die Alone” had been canceled by Onyx Collective and Hulu after just one season.
The series premiered on September 13, 2024, and followed Mel, a broke, fat, Black JFK airport employee who had never been in love and had forgotten how to dream.
An accidental brush with death catapults her on a journey to finally take flight and start living—by any means necessary.
In a statement posted on her official Instagram page, Natasha Rothwell wrote:
I am shocked, heartbroken, and frankly, baffled that Onyx has decided not to move forward with a second season of How to Die Alone.
This is a tough reality to accept because the show is an undeniable critical, creative, and award-winning success.
This show took me eight years to bring to life, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in that time, it’s resilience.
I’m not giving up. My team and I are committed to finding How to Die Alone a new home because stories like this matter.

She also added:
This is hard to comprehend… My heart aches for the incredible cast, crew, and writers who gave their all to tell this story.
I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity and appreciate all of the love and support given to me and the show.
Now, my prayer is that this news will be but a comma in the HTDA story, not a period. Onward.
Issa Rae, Niecy Nash, Kendrick Sampson, Gabrielle Union, and JR Bland were among the many who offered Natasha words of love and support.
I truly hope Natasha Rothwell finds a new home for “How To Die Alone”.
In the meantime, be sure to support her in “The White Lotus” Season 3 on HBO.
