Thursday 11 June 2020 by Charlotte Whyatt  News

US-only streaming service Hulu has cancelled its period drama Harlots after three seasons. 

The acclaimed series follows Madam Margaret Wells (Samantha Morton) and her daughters Charlotte (Jessica Brown Findlay) and Lucy (Eloise Smyth) as they run a brothel in Georgian era-London.

Lesley Manville, Liv Tyler, Dorothy Atkinson, Game of Thrones’s Alfie Allen, Ash Hunter,  and Holli Dempsey also star.

Like other streaming platforms Hulu don’t release viewing figures but all three series of Harlots did very well with critics all standing at over 90% on review site Rotten Tomatoes. 

The show is available to stream on Starz Play here in the UK which is available as an add-on through Amazon Prime for an additional £4.99 a month. 

Harlots is also notable for having an entirely female production crew. It was created by Moira Buffini and Alison Newman with writers and directors including Coky Giedroyc, Robin Sheppard, Jane English and Vivienne Harvey.

You can stream all seasons of Harlots on Starz Play now.
