Hulu's Emmy-nominated comedy series Pen15 is officially coming to an end after season 2. Created by Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, the show finds the two playing 13-year-old versions of themselves as they navigate middle school in the early 2000s surrounded by actual teenagers. After premiering on the streaming service in 2019, Pen15 quickly became a breakout hit, earning critical praise for its relatable portrayal of the middle school experience, along with its humor and cringey charm.
In addition to Erskine and Konkle, the series' main cast includes Mutsuko Erskine, Taylor Nichols, Melora Walters, and Taj Cross.
Following a successful debut, Pen15 had been renewed by Hulu for a 14-episode season 2, though the Covid-19 pandemic impacted its filming process, resulting in half of the episodes getting a September 18, 2020 release date. As the case with many productions, a level of uncertainty led to a delay for the eventual release of the remaining seven episodes.
In dealing with limitations, Pen15 season 2 also included an animated special that sees the girls embark on a trip to Florida with Anna's father, which broke up the hiatus, premiering in August of this year.
