**FX Comedy Series “English Teacher” Cancelled After Two Seasons**
The FX comedy series *English Teacher* will not be returning for a third season, as Deadline has revealed the show has been cancelled.
Created by Brian Jordan Alvarez, *English Teacher* stars Alvarez as Evan Marquez, a high school teacher in Austin, Texas. The series follows Evan as he navigates the complex intersection of personal, professional, and political challenges within a high school setting. Throughout the first season, Evan works through his relationships, interactions with students, and dealings with fellow faculty members, while trying to answer the question: can you truly be your full self at your job?
The first season of *English Teacher* premiered in 2024 across FX, Hulu, and Disney+, with the second season arriving on those platforms earlier this year.
**Critical Acclaim and Awards**
*English Teacher*’s first season earned widespread critical praise, receiving three Critics’ Choice Awards nominations including Best Comedy Series. It also garnered four Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations, including Best New Scripted Series, along with two Writers Guild Award nods for New Series and Episodic Comedy.
The show quickly became one of the best-reviewed series of the year. It appeared on numerous critics’ year-end Top 10 lists — notably ranked as the #1 Best Show of the Year by both Decider and Consequence. The first season holds a Certified Fresh score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and a Must Watch score of 83 on Metacritic. Its second season achieved an impressive 100% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
**Cast and Production**
Alongside Brian Jordan Alvarez, the series stars Stephanie Koenig, Enrico Colantoni, Sean Patton, and Carmen Christopher. Alvarez not only created the show but also served as an executive producer, alongside Paul Simms, Jonathan Krisel, Dave King, Kathryn Dean, Jake Bender, and Zach Dunn.
Both seasons of *English Teacher* are currently available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the United States, and on Disney+ internationally.
**Looking Ahead**
As with many cancelled shows, if you haven’t yet watched *English Teacher* or want to revisit it, now is the time. Cancelled series are often removed from streaming platforms to cut costs.
**Roger’s Take**
It’s unfortunate that *English Teacher* wasn’t given more time to find its audience, especially since comedy shows often need longer to build momentum. There is speculation that the show’s future was impacted by allegations of sexual assault made last summer by Jon Ebeling — a collaborator of Brian Jordan Alvarez on *The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo*. The warning signs appeared when FX gave minimal promotion to the new season upon its release earlier this year.
