The comedic crime drama Sunny Nights, starring D’Arcy Carden and Will Forte and distributed by Cineflix Rights, is headed to Hulu in the U.S. following its launch on Stan in Australia in December.
The series was created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer and produced by Echo Lake Entertainment and Jungle Entertainment. It lands on Hulu March 11.
The show has also landed deals with ITV in the U.K., Bell Media in Canada, ProSieben in Germany, Canal+ in the Netherlands, TVNZ, Ireland’s TG4, and Israel’s Yes.
“We are thrilled to once again be working with our friends at Hulu, having had such a great experience with their team on The Great,” said Doug Mankoff, EP. “We can’t think of a better team to handle this bold series straddling both comedy and drama.”
“Sunny Nights is the rare show that manages to be both hilarious and genuinely suspenseful,” said Jason Burrows, MD of Jungle Entertainment. “It’s a brilliant collaboration between some of the best creatives working today, and Hulu is the perfect home for this kind of smart, darkly comedic crime drama.”
“Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden are both very familiar to U.S. audiences through multiple streaming hits and films, and have joined forces with Trent O’Donnell, the acclaimed director and showrunner behind the wildly successful Hacks, Ghosts, and Colin from Accounts to create a wonderfully funny dark comedic drama,” said Greg Johnson, EVP for the Americas and Asia Pacific at Cineflix Rights. We’re thrilled for Hulu to stream Sunny Nights, bringing the show to U.S. viewers.”
