  • Zoë Kravitz publicly called out Hulu as “tacky” after they used her canceled show High Fidelity to reference her engagement to Harry Styles.
  • Hulu posted a photo of Kravitz in character with a caption nodding to Styles’ new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally — then deleted it after her comment.
  • Kravitz has repeatedly criticized Hulu for canceling High Fidelity in 2020, calling it a “big mistake” and slamming the platform for its lack of shows led by women of color.
  • Page Six broke the news last month that Kravitz and Styles are engaged after eight months of dating and are already planning two weddings.

Zoë Kravitz has had enough of Hulu — and she made that very clear in two words.

Last week, the streamer posted a photo of Kravitz as her High Fidelity character Robyn Brooks on Instagram, captioning it: “Robyn Brooks definitely has ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally’ on her playlist.” The caption was a nod to Harry Styles’ fourth studio album, released March 6 — and, of course, to the fact that Kravitz is now engaged to the man who made it.

Kravitz, 37, didn’t let it slide. She went straight to the comments and tagged the Disney-owned platform with a simple verdict: “This is tacky @hulu.”

The post has since been deleted.

Fans backed her up immediately. As one put it, they’d “be pissed too if the network that cancelled my show used my personal life as advertisement six years later.” And that context matters — because this isn’t just a minor social media spat. It’s the latest chapter in a years-long frustration Kravitz has had with Hulu over what happened to High Fidelity.

A Cancellation Kravitz Never Got Over

The gender-flipped comedy — based on Nick Hornby’s 1995 novel and inspired by the John Cusack film adaptation — premiered on Valentine’s Day 2020 and ran for 10 episodes. Fans were hooked. Then, in August of that year, Hulu pulled the plug.

Kravitz was not quiet about it. At the time, she fired back on Instagram with a pointed dig at the streamer for canceling its only show led by a woman of color: “At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait,” she wrote, responding to a message of condolence from Tessa Thompson.

Two years later, she was still feeling it. “They didn’t realize what that show was and what it could do,” she told Elle magazine in 2022, calling the cancellation a “big mistake.” “The amount of letters, DMs, people on the street and women that look like us — like, that love for the show, it meant something to people.”

That fanbase never really moved on either. Years later, people are still commenting on High Fidelity posts hoping for some kind of revival. So when Hulu tried to use that same canceled show — and Kravitz’s very personal relationship — as engagement bait, the reaction was never going to be warm.

The Engagement That Changed Everything

Page Six broke the news last month that Kravitz and Styles, 32, are engaged after eight months of dating. Sources told Page Six that the couple is already planning two weddings and have talked about starting a family together.

The pair were first linked publicly back in August of last year when they were spotted walking arm-in-arm in Italy. Neither has made a formal statement about their relationship — which makes Hulu’s very public, very uninvited reference to it land even more awkwardly.

For his part, Styles has opened up about where his head is at. In a March interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, he got candid about what he’s working toward. “I had a real honest conversation with myself about, ‘Okay, in five years, what do I want my life to look like? And then how do I make changes to aim at that?’” he said. “I want to be fulfilled and I want to be in great relationships with people.”

He kept it simple after that: “I want a family.”

Hulu, meanwhile, got the message — just not the one they were going for.
