Hulu Comedy Future Man Returns Jan. 11; PEN15, A New R-Rated Comedy Series
Future Man, Hulu's hit comedy series from the guys who brought you Sausage Party has a premiere date for the second season! Season 2 premieres Friday, January 11, only on Hulu. Season two picks up in 2162, and Josh, Wolf, and Tiger learn that their season one mission to stop the cure from getting out didn't work. In this timeline, Stu Camillo is now in power, having created the cure, and launched a plan to relocate humanity to Mars. A shadowy organization called the Pointed Circle seeks to recruit Josh to take Stu down - but are they the good guys, or is Stu? As Wolf quickly acclimates to the strange customs of this time, Tiger struggles with her Biotic identity and searches for an escape. Josh unites the team in an epic plan to save the world, but their time-traveling catches up to them, and they must reckon with their choices and what to do next.
The series stars Josh Hutcherson (as Josh Futturman), Eliza Coupe (as Tiger), Derek Wilson (as Wolf) and Haley Joel Osment (as Stu Camillo). It's created, written and executive produced by Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir (Sausage Party, Preacher) and executive produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Matt Tolmach, James Weaver and Ben Karlin.

Maya and Anna star in this adult comedy, playing versions of themselves as thirteen-year-old outcasts in the year 2000, surrounded by actual thirteen-year-olds, where the best day of your life can turn into your worst with the stroke of a gel pen.
