“Difficult People” is getting some tough news.
Hulu has canceled the Julie Klausner-created comedy series after three seasons.
Klausner stars with Billy Eichner on the show that premiered in August 2015. Its third season debuted in August 2017.
The series centers on Julie Kessler (Klausner) and Billy Epstein (Eichner), two struggling comedians who seemingly dislike everyone they encounter except for each other. Executive producers for the Universal Cable Productions project include Klausner and Amy Poehler, along with 3 Arts’ Dave Becky. Becky apologized Monday for how he initially responded to accusations.

"When did comedies become half-hour dramas?"
These words, uttered by Billy Eichner via the acid pen of Julie Klausner in the newly launched second season of her Hulu sitcom Difficult People, come from a place of love. Klausner loves TV like a mother loves her child – which is to say she always wants it to do and be better. A lifelong acolyte of the medium, she's spent most of her life hovering around its fringes – consuming it by the binge-ful, recapping shows online, eventually landing staff writing gigs here and there.

Pokémon Go has taken over. Look to your left while on the street and chances are there's somebody trying to capture a Pidgey, hurling balls on their phone screens. It's alarming, and fodder ripe for Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner and their alter egos, the struggling comics and professional snarky friends Julie Kessler and Billy Epstein, to take on in their Hulu series Difficult People. "I still don't understand Pokémon Go and I had somebody explain it to me three times yesterday," Klausner, star and creator of the Hulu comedy, told E! News at the Difficult People season two premiere."I'm proud of not being able to understand it. And I do think yes, there's definitely something to...

Three episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
There’s not a lot left to do and say within the 30-minute, struggling creative-type, self-aware comedy genre. Shows like Louie and Girls honed in on the structure and voice of sitcoms like this over the past few years, letting replicators flourish (Broad City) or flounder (Flaked). There’s always a downtrodden hero, a partner in crime, and a plan to somehow “make it,” along with all of the other people who seem to be getting ahead. Some shows have slowly been pushing at the boundaries of what even defines this type of series, like You’re The Worst‘s deeply dark second year, and the cool thing about Hulu’s returning anarchic little sitcom, Difficult People, is that it knows this, and sets its sights on its peers with weaponized glee.

Let's be real: Some people truly understand and appreciate the comedic joy that is Hulu's Difficult People, and then there are those who just don't comprehend what Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner are doing with their series. But the people who do enjoy it—and tell her about it—rarely disappoint Klausner, she said. In fact, it's the "best part about being a 'cult' sensation," she told E! News in a phone interview. Difficult People follows Julie Kessler (Klausner) and Billy Epstein (Eichner), struggling comics and actors, hustling for their big break. Like many beloved comedy characters before them, Julie and Billy are morally reprehensible on most occasions. Think of them as the...

The Performer | Shiri Appleby
The Show | UnREAL
The Episode | “Future” (Aug. 3)
Among the flurry of favorable adjectives one could use to describe UnREAL‘s Rachel Goldberg — due largely to Shiri Appleby’s consistently layered performances — “unpredictable” is perhaps the most fitting. And never was Rachel, nor Appleby, more unpredictable than during this week’s season finale.
The complicated events of the finale forced Rachel to present a completely different face to nearly everyone she encountered on the Everlasting set, a feat she accomplished with such conviction that it left us wondering if Appleby had somehow cloned herself into five different,...

Created by Julie Klausner and executive-produced by Amy Poehler, the new Hulu Original series Difficult People, debuting on August 5, is about two BFFs in their mid-30s trying to make it as comedians. On the show, Julie Kessler (played by Klausner) defines herself as a comedy writer/actress/cabaret performer, but what she really does is write recaps of TV shows for a website, while her bestie Billy Epstein (played by Billy Eichner) waits tables. Oblivious and self-absorbed, they don’t get why they’re not famous yet—or why it’s not appropriate to loudly whisper about ordering lunch during a funeral. With such heavy-hitting female talent at the helm, get to know the women behind this ridiculous comedy now.
