Time For A Sad Playlist
High Fidelity, the Hulu series based on Nick Hornby’s novel and starring Zoë Kravitz as Rob, will sadly not get a second season. It is reported, however, that Hulu is leaning towards renewing Love, Victor–which is set in Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda world. *Fingers crossed. As for High Fidelity, it is totally worth watching the first season, if you’ve yet to.
