Zoë Kravitz blasts Hulu for exploiting rumors about her personal life to hype the canceled 2020 series High Fidelity, calling out the streamer for trading on speculation instead of the show itself.

Zoe Kravitz just called out Hulu for trying to ride her rumored engagement to Harry Styles to promote a show they already canceled. Bold strategy. She was not into it.

What set her off

Over the weekend, Hulu posted (and then quietly deleted) an Instagram shot of Kravitz in character from the 2020 series High Fidelity. The caption nodded to her character Robyn Brooks and dropped a winky reference to Styles by saying Robyn would have his fourth album, "Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally.", on her playlist.

Kravitz, 37, saw it and jumped into the comments, tagging the streamer and keeping it short:

"This is tacky."

Us Weekly says it reached out to Hulu for comment.

The engagement chatter, for context

Multiple outlets reported last month that Kravitz and Styles are engaged after about eight months of dating. The two were first linked in August 2025. Fuel for the rumor mill: earlier in April, Kravitz was photographed in London wearing a diamond ring on her left hand while walking with Styles, 32.

The show Hulu is dusting off for clicks

High Fidelity (the series) premiered in 2020, with Kravitz playing a lonely record store owner in a gender-flipped take on the 2000 film. The movie itself was adapted from Nick Hornby’s novel and starred John Cusack, Jack Black, and Kravitz’s mother, Lisa Bonet. Hulu later pulled the plug on the series, which makes the new promo angle feel extra eyebrow-raising.

Why High Fidelity mattered to Kravitz

Back in 2020, she told Entertainment Weekly that stepping into a project connected to her mom felt like a happy accident, not a stunt. She said she loved the original film on its own terms and grew up on talky, angsty favorites like Empire Records and Reality Bites — the kind of vibe we do not get as much of anymore.

She was also an executive producer on the series and helped shape the soundtrack. While the writers room was breaking episodes, she kept building a shared playlist that became a sonic blueprint for the show and for Robyn as a character. Her take was basically: if the music resonates for her, it will probably hit for the audience too — and she has been Rob before; honestly, most of us have or will be.

Bottom line: using real-world relationship speculation — and a not-yet-confirmed engagement — to hype a canceled series is a choice. Kravitz made it clear how she feels about that choice.
