FX Cancels English Teacher After Two Seasons

FX has officially canceled the comedy series English Teacher after two seasons, ending the show’s run less than two years after its premiere. The series starred Brian Jordan Alvarez as Evan Marquez, a high school English teacher trying to survive students, administrators, and his own chaotic life.

English Teacher premiered on FX on September 2, 2024, and immediately carved out a niche with its quirky take on high school life. Set in a high school in Austin, Texas, the series followed Evan as he juggled lesson plans, personal drama, and the disarray of a faculty that sometimes felt as unpredictable as its students.

In February 2025, FX renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on September 25, 2025. All ten episodes were available to stream on Hulu the day after airing, making it easy to binge. The season two finale, Graduation, had Student Clay named commencement speaker, Evan is roped into teaching summer school against his better judgment, and romantic tensions bubble to the surface as Gwen’s boyfriend Nick plans a proposal and Coach Markie nearly confesses feelings for Gwen. The finale wrapped with several characters staring down uncertainty, which now is final thanks to the cancellation.

Across its two-season run, English Teacher aired a total of 18 episodes. FX announced the cancellation with no further comment. The series remains available on FX and Hulu for anyone who wants to revisit.
