Zoë Kravitz Calls Hulu's High Fidelity Promo 'Tacky' After Harry Styles Nod

The rebuke highlights tensions over using stars’ private lives to market canceled shows.

Overview

  • Kravitz, who led Hulu’s 2020 series High Fidelity, wrote “This is tacky” on Wednesday under a Hulu Instagram post that tied her character to Harry Styles’ new album.
  • The since-deleted caption said Robyn Brooks “definitely has Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally on her playlist,” referring to Styles’ March release.
  • High Fidelity was canceled after one season in August 2020 despite strong reviews, and Kravitz had called the decision a “big mistake” while criticizing Hulu’s lack of shows led by women of color.
  • Coverage noted that recent buzz about Kravitz and Styles stems from April reports of an engagement that the couple has not confirmed.
  • Entertainment outlets said Hulu has not commented, and online reaction largely sided with Kravitz and questioned using a rumored relationship to boost an old show.
