What happens

Mid-Century Modern is an American television sitcom created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan. It stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Linda Lavin, and Nathan Lee Graham. The series marks Lavin's final television role. She died having completed seven episodes, but after her death, it was decided that many of her scenes from the fourth episode would instead be used in the eighth episode, so she appears in a total of eight episodes. Mid-Century Modern premiered on Hulu on March 28, 2025, and received generally positive reviews from critics. The series has been praised for its humor, nostalgic charm, performances, and its ability to blend classic sitcom sensibilities with contemporary themes. On September 29, 2025, series co-creator Max Mutchnick announced via Instagram that Hulu had decided to cancel the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
