'Tuca & Bertie' got canceled again. But its creator has a 'beautiful' sendoff in mind

Adult Swim is no longer the home of "Tuca & Bertie." On Wednesday, Lisa Hanawalt, the creator of the irreverent animated series, announced that her show has met its end. Yes, again.

"Tuca & Bertie has sadly been cancelled," she said in a statement posted on Twitter. "To all our fans - we love you and can't thank you enough for your support over the years."

The series, which starred Ali Wong, Tiffany Haddish and Steven Yeun, premiered on Netflix in May 2019. At the center of "Tuca & Bertie" were a pair of anthropomorphic 30-something bird friends, voiced by Haddish and Wong. Despite the series' critical acclaim, Netflix canceled "Tuca & Bertie" less than three months after its release.
