Netflix has cancelled animated show Tuca & Bertie after one season.
The program starred Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as a pair of anthropomorphic birds, and it was created by BoJack Horseman producer Lisa Hanawalt. The 10-episode first season appeared on Netflix on May 3, 2019.
Hanawalt took to Twitter last night (July 24) to reveal Netflix's decision to cancel the show, writing, "Netflix is not ordering a second season of Tuca & Bertie." She also added, "I'm hopeful we can find a home for Tuca & Bertie to continue their adventures."
Other cast members included Steven Yeun, Richard E. Grant, Reggie Watts, Nicole Byer and Shamir Bailey.
The show was critically acclaimed, with the first season earning a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 81 on Metacritic.
Many fans have sounded off on the cancellation and, needless to say, they're not happy. A Twitter campaign under the hashtag #RenewTucaAndBertie has emerged in the hopes that the show can live to see another season.
Notable advocates include Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, Canadian cartoonist Kate Beaton and comedian Paul F. Tompkins.

I dearly love Tuca & Bertie and felt many moments of joy and surprise while watching it. felt seen, understood, and like I was having a really fun/sometimes difficult conversation with a BFF. I hope all who worked on it know how special it is. I hope it has a life somewhere else.
I am very sorry to hear this. It's a terrific show.
