East Los High is a teen drama television series that revolves around the lives of a group of teens navigating their final years at a fictional high school in East LA. Created, written, and produced by Wise Entertainment, the series is Hulu's first and only series with an all Latino cast and crew and is predominantly filmed in East Los Angeles.[1] The producers of the show work closely with numerous public health organizations to incorporate information within the storylines that encourage young Latinos to make healthy life choices.[2]

On May 19, 2017, it was announced that East Los High would not be renewed for a fifth season.[3] Hulu instead ordered an hour and half long series finale, which aired on December 1, 2017.[4][5]
