Shrill Season 4: American comedy series have another level of fanbase and are known for refined humor. The foundation laid by shows like ‘Friends’ and ‘The Office’ is still continuing. But in the last few years, comedy dramas have faced a hindrance as crime thrillers dominated the market. However, Shrill is among those comedy series that managed to make its space in the crowd and landed successfully. Well, the show debuted on Hulu in 2019 and sparked off three seasons. The sharp social commentary of the series proves that self-acceptance brings peace and comfort in one’s life. After its release, Shrill garnered favorable reviews. And now fans are looking forward to Shrill Season 4. So, is it happening? Let’s see!
The first season of Shrill was released on July 15, 2019. As soon as the freshman season wrapped up, the makers quickly renewed it for further installments. Shrill is based on Lindy West’s novel titled Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman. With Saturday Night Live star Aidy Bryant on board, the show is tagged as one of the most overwhelming series ever premiered on Hulu. The story introduces us to a young, obese woman, Annie. She is willing to shape her life but is reluctant to lose weight and undergo transformation. Her ultimate goal is to work as a journalist. Although she realizes that her body size has nothing to do with her passion, Annie’s family, colleagues, and boyfriend continuously make fun of her figure.
Will There Be Shrill Season 4?
Following the release of the debut season of Shrill, Hulu ordered the first sequel only in a month. But it took almost two months to renew Shrill for the third season. Therefore, Hulu did not take much time to clarify its plan concerning the drama’s future. However, Hulu backed off when fans demanded Shrill Season 4. This is because when it officially announced season 3, it labeled it as the final chapter. However, neither the network nor the creator mentioned the reason behind the series’ cancelation.
Thus, it confirms that Shrill Season 4 is not happening in the coming time as it has already been canceled. But fans didn’t expect such an early cancelation. So it was quite surprising for the fans but not for Aidy Bryant. Back then, the actress started appearing in Saturday Night Live while the series was ongoing. However, Hulu did not give a reason for its decision, which eventually gave birth to various speculations. Meanwhile, people suspect that the COVID-19 pandemic would have halted the development as the global crisis badly affected the economy. Hence, it is possible that the coronavirus might have pulled Shrill back.
While talking about the series’ cancellation to Variety, the executive producers revealed that they did not plan to end the show with season 3. The decision changed because of certain factors. In contrast, Aidy declared the finale season authentic and was convinced by the last episode. Ali Rushfield and Lindy West were already prepared for the story and knew in which direction they could have taken it. Besides this, Aidy has already been announced to play the lead character in the dramedy “Lonely Hearts Club.” So, probably, Aidy’s busy schedule has led to the series cancelation.
What Would Have Happened In Shrill Season 4?
Emily and Fran were on a beach enjoying the vacation in the last season. They were accompanied by Will and Annie, who started dating a month ago. The latter couple was a bit disappointed as they lacked physical intimacy. While Emily decided to spend time with Fran separately, Annie was left in an awkward situation.
As for Annie, she decided to write a eulogy for the newspaper as a handful of rumors were surrounding the publishing house. After its publication, things altered positively for The Thorn, and the newspaper gained notability. After that, Annie formed a creative team along with other colleagues, Amadi and Gabe. On the other hand, Annie and Will had a FaceTime with the former’s parents, and she showed up with an announcement. Further, she requested him to take things slowly so that the relationship could evolve naturally, but Will denied her request, and the results were terrible. Besides this, Fran and Emily’s relationship witnessed a change that affected them. Lastly, Annie and Fran decided that they would open up and socialize to make their respective lives better.
Shrill Season 4 had the chance to continue from the point the last installment left off. Annie’s life adventures might have taken significant twists and changes. It could have explored her decision to form a creative team while focusing more on her journey to achieve her dream.
Who Would Have Returned In The Next Season?
Aidy Bryant headlined the series by playing the role of Annie Easton. She worked at The Thorn as a journalist. Lolly Adefope portrayed the character of Fran, Annie’s best friend. Luka Jones joined the cast in the shoes of Ryan. In addition to them, Ian Owens as Amadi and John Cameron Mitchell as Gabe Parrish shared the screens with Aidy Bryant. Lastly, the core panel of the cast includes Patti Harrison, who essayed the character of Ruthie. If Shrill Season 4 had been announced, then the entire cast of the main group would have reprised their respective roles.
