Friday was a tough day for network TV shows with 14 series canceled in the lead up to next week’s Upfronts presentations when the networks will unveil their fall schedules for advertisers. That’s why fans were dismayed by Constance Wu’s response to Fresh Off the Boat’s Season 6 renewal. However, on Saturday, May 11, Wu issued a statement about her Fresh Off the Boat tweets that has gone a long way toward clearing up why she was initially upset about the comedy returning to ABC for another season.
Shortly after ABC announced that Fresh Off the Boat would be returning for Season 6, Wu, who plays Jessica Huang, tweeted, “So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. F*ck.” She followed it up with “F*cking hell,” and in a since deleted tweet, she responded to a fan’s congratulations that the renewal was “great news” with “no it’s not,” per TVLine. Fans of the show and the actor were quick to wonder what was going on, and it sounds like Wu is owning her response, as well as explaining why she initially reacted so strongly to the news.
