Hulu decided to cancel 'Death and Other Details' after only one season.
The drama show, created by Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams, featured Violett Beane as the clever and restless Imogene Scott, who gets caught up in a murder mystery on a lavish Mediterranean ocean liner and is suspected of the crime. To prove her innocence, she partners with the renowned detective Rufus Cotesworth, played by Mandy Patinkin.
In addition to Beane and Patinkin, the cast included Lauren Patten, Rahul Kohli, Angela Zhou, Hugo Diego Garcia, Pardis Saremi, and Linda Emond.
The decision was made shortly after the first season finale aired on March 5, with the resolution of Viktor Sams' case.
When asked about the show's future, McAdams and Weiss expressed interest in Beane’s Imogene, Saremi’s Leila, Zhou’s Teddy and Diego Garcia’s Jules continuing on to tackle more crimes in a future season.
McAdams mentioned, “I don’t think every season of the show is going to feel like a new Agatha Christie reset. We were using that because that’s the world that Rufus Cotesworth comes from.”
Weiss hinted, “We’ve been talking about what would it look like in Season 2 if we were inspired by Sherlock Holmes?” and suggested Imogene taking on the role of the Baker Street detective, with her friend Anna (Patten) becoming her Moriarty.
“There will certainly be more murder if we are so lucky to be able to make more,” McAdams said. “But it’s not a whole reset of the table.”
Other than Weiss and McAdams, the series was executive produced by Marc Webb, who directed the pilot, and Mark Martin for Black Lamb. The series was produced by ABC Signature.
