BREAKING: FX has officially canceled the acclaimed gay comedy series English Teacher, starring Brian Jordan Alvarez, just two months after the release of its second season. Despite receiving rave reviews and a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, the network has decided not to move forward with a third season, marking a significant loss for queer representation on television.
The cancellation comes as a shock to fans, given the show’s popularity. English Teacher premiered in 2024 and quickly became a hit, showcasing Alvarez as a gay English teacher navigating the complexities of his personal and professional life. The series featured a vibrant cast of quirky characters, including a memorable guest appearance by Drag Race star Trixie Mattel as a drag queen football coach.
Season two saw the return of all beloved characters as Alvarez’s character, Evan, tackled new challenges and rekindled a romance with his ex-boyfriend. However, the brighter days of the show have dimmed, as FX has confirmed the series will not be renewed, and no official reasons for the cancellation have been provided.
While many speculated that the decision could be related to sexual assault allegations made against Alvarez by former friend and co-star Jon Ebeling, which surfaced shortly after the first season aired, FX had previously stated they reviewed the allegations before the show’s launch. In a spokesperson’s statement, they noted, “Mr. Ebeling never reached out to us with any concerns. We will have no further comment at this time.”
Despite the controversy, FX renewed the series for a second season, indicating their confidence in Alvarez and the show’s direction. However, the abrupt cancellation has left viewers disheartened and questioning the future of queer narratives in mainstream media.
As the news spreads, fans are expressing their disappointment across social media platforms, sharing heartfelt messages about the impact the show had on their lives. The show’s abrupt ending not only signifies a loss of representation but also raises questions about the industry’s commitment to diverse storytelling.
What happens next for Alvarez and the cast remains uncertain, as the cancellation leaves fans yearning for closure. The community’s response is pivotal, as many are now calling for networks to prioritize inclusive programming that reflects the diverse realities of queer lives.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story and reactions from the cast and crew of English Teacher.
