Hulu managed to round out a pretty impressive cast for the comedy series Reboot, but that just wasn’t enough to grant its future on this streaming service. Hulu canceled it after a single season, but the show’s creator Steve Levitan is planning to shop it elsewhere.

Reboot focuses on the dysfunctional cast of the fictional 2000s family sitcom Step Right Up. After the show that put them on the map is surprisingly rebooted, they must come back together to deal with their unresolved issues in today’s fast-changing world.

Reboot premiered on Hulu back in September to positive reviews, and its star-studded ensemble cast included Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Judy Greer, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy, Krista Marie Yu, and Paul Reiser.

Reboot is Steve Levitan’s first show since Modern Family and he’s planning to find a new home for it, with another streamer reportedly expressing interest to read the script for Season 2. Levitan previously discussed the show’s future with Entrainment Weekly and admitted there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding it.

“I think in season 2 we will get into the premiere of the show and all that goes into that… We’re awaiting our fate and starting to work on future things just in case, but everything that I just went through is stuff that they’re all about to go through,” he told Entrainment Weekly.
