Hulu's Alice and Steve Premieres June 8; Prime Video Renews Hazbin Hotel for a Fifth and Final Season

Hulu has announced the premiere date for Alice and Steve, the upcoming outrageously witty comedy from Clerkenwell Films (Baby Reindeer). Starring Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker, the series will debut with all six episodes on June 8, 2026, on Hulu, and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers, in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. The announcement follows the series world premiere in competition at CANNESERIES 2026 on April 26. Alice and Steve will make its U.S. premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival.

Friends become foes in the ultimate wrong-com. Alice is devastated when her best friend Steve starts dating her 26-year-old daughter Izzy. She's going to lose her best friend and her daughter in one fell swoop. Alice tries everything she can to end the relationship. Unfortunately for her, Steve's more than ready for the attack, and what begins as a perfect friendship, devolves into an all-out feud. A hilarious, messy, and complicated exploration of friendship, love, and revenge, Alice and Steve is an anti-romantic comedy that asks the question, how far would you go for love - or revenge? Will Alice forgive Steve? Will Steve and Izzy make a relationship work? Amongst all the questions hanging in the balance, one thing is certain; their lives will never be the same again.

The six-part Hulu Original series stars Nicola Walker (The Split, Unforgotten), Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of The Conchords), Joel Fry (Cruella), and Yali Topol Margalith (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder). Tyrese Eaton-Dyce, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher and Ebony Aboagye also star in the ensemble cast.

Prime Video announced that the hit adult-animated musical comedy series, Hazbin Hotel, has been renewed for a fifth and final season. From creator Vivienne Medrano, A24, and FOX Entertainment's Bento Box Entertainment, the critically acclaimed series will return to Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Hazbin Hotel follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, she opens a hotel in the hopes that patrons will be "checking out" into Heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal, her devoted partner Vaggi, and their first test subject, adult-film star Angel Dust, stick by her side. When a powerful entity known as the "Radio Demon" reaches out to assist Charlie in her endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.

Created by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is based on her popular animated pilot, which was released on YouTube in 2019 and quickly gained over 120 million views and a devoted worldwide fan base. The series blends adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers to create a wholly original and unique world.
