The critically-acclaimed comedy \u201cEnglish Teacher\u201d has been canceled after two seasons.<\/p>\n
Brian Jordan Alvarez created and starred in the series, playing Evan Marquez, a passionate high school teacher with a dry sense of humor. His costars included Stephanie Koenig (Gwen Sanders), Enrico Colantoni (Grant Moretti), Sean Patton (Markie Hillridge), and Jordan Firstman (Malcolm).<\/p>\n
Season 1 of \u201cEnglish Teacher,\u201d which premiered on FX in September 2024, received rave reviews. The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>praised the show\u2019s \u201csharp ensemble, smart perspective, and finely honed sense of humor,\u201d while The New York Times<\/a> said Alvarez\u2019s performance \u201cstrikes just the right note of curdled exasperation.\u201d<\/p>\n Season 2, which hit FX on Hulu in September 2025, has a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. FX has not commented on the cancelation decision. <\/p>\n Despite its success, \u201cEnglish Teacher\u201d has been marked by controversy from the start. Shortly before the release of season 1, actor Jon Ebeling accused Alvarez of sexual assault. <\/p>\n \u201cMy personal experience with the Cre*tor of this show was much closer to the plot of B*by Reind**r than whatever this is,\u201d Ebeling wrote via his Instagam Story at the time, referring to Richard Gadd\u2019s Netflix series about being raped by a successful television writer. <\/p>\n Ebeling claimed that Alvarez, a former friend of his, sexually assaulted him while filming the 2016 webseries \u201cThe Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo.\u201d He filed a police report with the LAPD one day before \u201cEnglish Teacher\u201d premiered, eight years after the alleged assault occurred. Ebeling further discussed the allegations in a December 2024 Vulture article<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alvarez denied the claims via a spokesperson, who said in a statement that the actor\u2019s\u2019 \u201cinteractions with Jon Ebeling were always entirely consensual \u2014 as numerous witnesses have attested.\u201d <\/p>\n Two months after the Vulture article was published, FX renewed \u201cEnglish Teacher\u201d for season 2. <\/p>\n \u201cWe reviewed the allegations presented to us by another media outlet prior to the show\u2019s launch. Mr. Ebeling never reached out to us with any concerns. We will have no further comment at this time,\u201d a spokesperson for FX said at the time.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/b>Did this \u2018White Lotus\u2019 star just throw shade at Sydney Sweeney?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Ebeling told the Daily Beast<\/a> in February that he was \u201cheartbroken and devastated\u201d by the show\u2019s renewal.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m in fear for the people who have to work with Brian and continue to work with Brian,\u201d Ebeling added.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the <\/b><\/i>National Sexual Assault Hotline<\/b><\/i><\/a> at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
