With hits from ‘The Simpsons’ to ‘Solar Opposites,’ Hulu has quietly built the strongest animated lineup on streaming.

Animated comedies are my comfort food. When life’s chaotic, there’s nothing better than sinking into the couch and putting on an episode of “The Simpsons.” That show has literally been around as long as I have, and it’s still going strong. Then came “Family Guy” about a decade later, and even though the tone is way different, it quickly earned a spot on my go-to list. Between those two, you’ve basically got the blueprint for modern animated comedy. And the best part? They’re both streaming on Hulu, along with a ridiculous number of other hits from FX and Fox. If animated sitcoms are your thing, there’s really no better place to stream. Here’s why Hulu’s the best of the bunch for streaming animated comedy TV shows.

Filmmaker Michael Sarnoski, who directed and co-wrote the 2024 hit A Quiet Placeprequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, and is finishing up work on his new film, A24’s Death of Robin Hood,has been tapped once again by A24 to help another project. Per Deadline, Sarnoski’s next film will be A24’s adaptation of the 2019 video game Death Stranding. The new film will come from A24 and Kojima Productions.

Death Stranding was released in 2019 for PlayStation 4 and is set in the U.S. after a catastrophic event that caused destructive creatures to roam the Earth. The single-player game controls Sam Porter Bridges, who, in the game, is voiced by Norman Reedus(The Walking Dead). The game also featured Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal), Léa Seydoux (Dune: Part Two), Tory Baker (Solar Opposites), Margaret Qualley (The Substance), and Yuri Lowenthal (Batman: Caped Crusader).

NBC's comedic drama "Good Girls" may have been all about women criminals breaking bad, but according to TVLine, the series' cancellation in 2021 didn't have much to do with the "girls" that give the show its title.

Soon after "Good Girls" was officially canceled in 2021, TVLine reported a surprising and slightly scandalous scoop about the show's fate. The series debuted in 2018 and follows the exploits of three Midwestern moms who fall into a life of crime after an impulsive supermarket heist leads to unlikely repercussions. "Parks and Recreation" actress Retta headlined the show along with "Mad Men" fan favorite Christina Hendricks and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Arrested Development" actress Mae Whitman. The show also made a star out of Manny Montana, who played sexy crime boss Rio and quickly became a series breakout. According to the outlet's sources, it was Montana who tied up the series' future after negotiations...

We might only be three months into the new year, but 2025 is quickly shaping up to be quite an interesting year for TV fans. The first few months of the year have brought about a lot of unexpected cancellations and renewals for broadcast, cable, and streaming originals with many long-running shows receiving their walking papers and yet another series has now joined that list.

In a somewhat unexpected announcement, Hulu has revealed that the forthcoming sixth season of its hit animated comedy Solar Opposites will be the show’s final season. That’s right, the sun is about to set on the beloved adult animation series which will return for its final episodes this fall on Hulu.

At this time, no premiere date has been set for when the final season will arrive and it remains unclear why exactly Hulu has chosen to bring the show to an end after six seasons.

"Solar Opposites", the animated science fiction sitcom, created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, streams Season 6, the “Final Mission”, Fall 2025 on Hulu:

"...a family of aliens from an advanced world take refuge in middle America. But they continually disagree on what is either awful or awesome..."

Voice cast includes Justin Roiland as 'Korvo', Thomas Middleditch as 'Terry', Sean Giambrone as 'Yumyulack' and Mary Mack as 'Jesse'.

The animated sci-fi comedy Solar Opposites will officially conclude with its upcoming season. The hit Hulu series, which debuted in 2020, follows a family of Shlorpian aliens—Korvo (Dan Stevens), Terry (Thomas Middleditch), Jesse (Mary Mack), and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone)—who crash-land on Earth and find themselves caught between world domination and suburban normalcy. While the aliens continue their misadventures, "The Wall" subplot has evolved into an epic saga, with Solar Opposites season 6 set to push the shrunken people even further.

Now, Hulu has announced that Solar Opposites will be ending with season 6. The "galactic grand finale" is set to premiere this fall, with an exact release date to be announced later this year. As the series gears up for its last adventure, it will feature a lineup of guest stars, including Tiffany Haddish, Kieran Culkin, and Christina Hendricks. Hulu shared the news with the following post:

The aliens of Solar Opposites are set for their last mission.

Hulu announced Tuesday that the forthcoming sixth season of Solar Opposites will be its last. The final episodes of the animated series are scheduled to premiere in the fall, with a specific date to be announced later.

The show has also lined up a guest cast for the final season that includes Tiffany Haddish, Kieran Culkin, Christina Hendricks, Ken Marino, Alfred Molina, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Beck Bennett. They join regulars Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Mary Mack and Sean Giambrone.

Stevens joined Solar Opposites in season four, when he took over the voice role of Korvo from series co-creator Justin Roiland, who was ousted from the show in the wake of domestic violence allegations. Charges were later dismissed due to “insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” the Orange County, California, district attorney’s office said.

“Solar Opposites” is gearing up for its galactic grand finale this fall, when it returns to Hulu for a sixth and final season, the streamer announced Tuesday.

The animated comedy stars Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Mary Mack and Sean Giambrone as a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Stevens) and Yumyulack (Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Middleditch) and Jesse (Mack) love TV, junk food and fun stuff. A specific premiere date will be announced later this year.

“When the Solar Opposites family goes broke, they must learn to survive on Earth without any of their sci-fi devices or the massive amounts of video games, snacks and luxury watches they’re used to,” the logline for Season 6 states.

A well-regarded new Hulu comedy has become a streaming hit. The streaming service, which is now owned by Disney, debuted in 2007 and began producing original content in 2011. This includes movies such as the franchise installments Prey and Hellraiser (2022), in addition to popular Hulu original series such as the dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale, the James Clavell adaptation Shōgun, and the animated sci-fi series Solar Opposites.

Hulu has also been behind some of the most well-regarded streaming comedies of recent years. This includes the FX on Hulu dramedy The Bear, which has won 21 Primetime Emmys and five Golden Globes, and the whodunit Only Murders in the Building, which has won 7 Emmys and earned 16 Golden Globe nominations. Both series have been renewed for further seasons, with The Bear season 4 set to premiere in 2025 while Only Murders season 5 is in currently production at the time of writing.

Former child stars Macaulay Culkin and Kieran Culkin have come a long way since the two shared the screen in Home Alone. The latter is now an Academy Award winner, and seeing the major moment happen on TV made the former very emotional.

At the Academy Awards on Sunday, Kieran Culkin won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Jesse Eisenberg's acclaimed film A Real Pain. During the stream for Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty (per Entertainment Weekly), Macaulay and his fiancee, Brenda Song, were asked if they had watched any of the show. While Song noted, "Of course," Culkin clarified that he only watched the segment where Best Supporting Actor was announced. He went on to reveal that seeing his brother get the win made him cry.

It is safe to say that the Culkin brothers had a hand in making our childhood so much more memorable with the Home Alone movies. Over the years, both Macaulay and Kieran Culkin have impressed the world with their performances. Whether it is becoming the publisher and CEO of Bunny Ears or ruling our hearts with incredible work in Succession, both the brothers have had something or the other going for them.

Robert De Niro is set to make his TV debut in “Zero Day.” The Netflix series follows a former U.S. president who’s tapped to lead a commission tasked with tracking down the perpetrators of a devastating cyberattack responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, only to discover a vast web of lies and conspiracies.

With an amazing history of comedy and voice performance, Mythic Quest knocked it out of the park, casting Charlotte Nicdao and David Hornsby. Nicdao burst onto the scene with Australian comedies, soon finding herself in front of the camera in massive films like Thor: Ragnarok. She’s also graced Star Trek: Lower Decks, Bluey, and Solar Opposites with her vocal talents. Hornsby famously deteriorated in front of our very eyes as the (fairly) iconic Rickety Cricket on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia but has happily made a nest for himself in some great Cartoon Network shows like We Bare Bears and Ben 10. Now, both co-star in the AppleTV+ series and serve as a writer and director.

The Wild Robot dominated the 2025 Annie Awards honoring the best achievements in animation. The DreamWorks toon came in with 10 nominations across nine categories, and it won all of them: Best Feature, Best FX, Best Character Animation, Best Character Design, Best Direction, Best Music, Best Production Design, Best Voice Acting (Lupita Nyong’o), and Best Editorial.

The Annies win capped a momentous weekend for The Wild Robot, which also took the animated feature prizes at the Producers Guild of America Awards and Critics Choice Awards, cementing its position as the favorite going into the Academy Awards on March 2.

The film’s chief rival for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, Flow, also had a successful day, taking Best Feature — Independent and Best Writing, two races where it didn’t have to face The Wild Robot.

But do the Annie results make The Wild Robot unbeatable for the Oscar? Not necessarily. The link between...

The Wild Robot swept its categories at the 2025 Annie Awards, winning a leading nine awards, including best feature.

The DreamWorks Animation title was nominated 10 times, but two of those nods were in the same category.

Also Saturday night, The Wild Robot won the Producers Guild Award for outstanding producer of animated theatrical motion pictures. And Friday night, it won best animated feature at the Critics Choice Awards.

Other features that won multiple awards from the International Animated Film Society Asifa-Hollywood, which presents the prizes recognizing the year’s best in animation, include two-time winners Flow and Orion and the Dark, with the former winning best feature — independent and best writing — feature.

Flow, which won the Golden Globe for best animated motion picture, and The Wild Robot are both nominated for the Oscar for best animated feature, along with Inside Out 2, Memoir of a Snail and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

Hulu's off-beat animated sitcom Solar Opposites has brought the laughs throughout its first five seasons thus far, and the streamer has already renewed for season 6. Debuting in 2020, the series follows Korvo and his alien family as they crash on Earth and are torn between colonizing the planet or attempting to blend into the human population. Taking a page from shows like Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites is as much a classic animated sitcom as it is a clever parody of the popular cartoon series format. Surreal humor is its trademark, and few shows do it as well.

Despite its already lengthy run on Hulu, Solar Opposites hasn't been without its controversy, and it was nearly derailed by behind-the-scenes drama. Co-creator Justin Roiland was ousted from the series following a host of domestic abuse charges, but Solar Opposites managed to charge ahead without him. Roiland's departure after season 3 changed very little for the quirky comedy,...

Over the years, Hulu has transcended its reputation from a fun streaming service to an established platform, with its top tier shows among the best TV of 2024. It quickly became a trusted destination for viewers, and in 2024, the streaming service has some serious original content to offer. Whether intense dramas or laugh-out-loud comedy, Hulu consistently delivers top-tier content. As highlighted by the best TV shows on Hulu as of December 2024, this year’s harvest has truly elevated standards.

2024 has seen Hulu debut some of the most exciting shows. Whether capturing the cultural pulse of 1600’s Japan or delivering the next chapter of Carmen Berzatto’s restaurant, Hulu’s diverse slate has something for everyone. Many of these standout debuts have earned their place among the best TV shows that premiered in 2024. Others are even strong contenders for the overall best TV shows of 2024.

Many, many years before Kieran Culkin won an Emmy Award for his role as Roman Roy in Succession, he had an on-set experience that was less than ideal. People reports via the Smartless podcast, that while making his first commercial the director called him a “dummy.”

“First professional experience I had was a commercial when I was 6,” said Kieran to Smartless hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. Although Culkin doesn’t exactly remember what the commercial was for he said it was “something to do with learning disabilities.”

“The concept was I’m standing in front of a chalkboard with chalk in my hand, and I don’t know how to solve the easy thing in front of me,” recalled Culkin. “And the kids in the class are supposed to be calling me a dummy and stupid, all that,” he continued.

Members of the Animation Guild have overwhelmingly agreed to ratify its three-year deal with the studios.

The guild saw 76.1% of its members in favor of the contract with the AMPTP. This comes after months of negotiations with the studio reps.

The new three-year deal – the 2024-2027 Animation Guild Master Agreement – wasn’t, however, as popular as its previous deal, signed in July 2022, which saw 87% members vote in support.

The guild said that voter turnout increased “beyond the historic turnout of last cycle’s vote”, which itself tripled the prior vote.

Among the provisions secured in the latest contract are increases to health and pension funds, wage increases, AI protections, and more. Specifically, this included 7% wage increased in the first year, 4% in the second year and 3.5% in the third. A.I. protections include written notifications and the ability to consult with the production and identify alternative non-GenAI tools. There are also...

DreamWorks Animation leads the 2025 Annie Awards feature competition with 10 nominations, including for best feature, best FX and best character animation, it was announced on Friday.

The top feature category saw nominations also handed out by the International Animated Film Society Asifa-Hollywood to DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4, Pixar Animation Studios’ Inside Out 2, Locksmith Animation and Netflix’s That Christmas, Tsuburaya Productions/Netflix’s Ultraman: Rising and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, from Aardman and Netflix.

Based on Peter Brown’s bestselling middle-grade novel, Wild Robot from director Chris Sanders centers on Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o), a robot marooned on a jungle-y island, as she meets an assortment of colorful anthropomorphic animals. They include a wry mama opossum (Catherine O’Hara), a mischievous fox (Pedro Pascal) and a small orphaned goose, voiced by Kit Connor.

The Wild Robot continues to emerge as the animated feature to beat this season after leading the nominations for the 2025 Annie Awards.

The Universal Pictures film from DreamWorks Animation led the way with 10 nominations today, followed by Disney-Pixar’s record-breaking blockbuster Inside Out 2 and Netflix’s latest from Aardman, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, with seven mentions apiece. All three films are up for Best Feature, joined by That Christmas, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Ultraman: Rising.

These awards are voted on by professional and patron members of Asifa-Hollywood who have two or more professional animation credits and contributed professional services over the last two years that contributed to animated projects. While this is a peer group award like the Oscars, but the Annie winners don’t always match the Motion Picture Academy’s.

After collecting the Spark Award at last month’s IndieWire Honors, Chris Sanders now has further reason for celebration as his sci-fi adventure “The Wild Robot,” produced by Dreamworks Animation, has gone on to receive the most recognition from Asifa-Hollywood this year, earning 10 Annie Award nominations, including in the category of Best Feature and Best Direction. No other film came close to this number, though “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” from Aardman and Netflix and “Inside Out 2” from Pixar Animation were closest with 7 nominations each. “That Christmas” from Locksmith Animation and Netflix also fared pretty well, eking out 6 nominations, including in major categories like Best Feature.

The 52nd Annual Annie Awards will be held at UCLA’s Royce Hall on February 8, 2025 at 7:00 pm Pt. In addition to “The Wild Robot,” “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” “Inside Out 2,” and “That Christmas,” others competing for the title...

In a sea of science fiction series that take themselves far too seriously, “Star Trek Lower Decks” has been a sweet and funny balm, a loving parody of the iconic speculative fiction universe that celebrates and pisses on its history in equal measure. Like all good sitcoms, however, “Lower Decks” is coming to an end, and the finale promises to be…maybe, possibly, moderately serious?

The animated series will premiere the finale to its fifth and final season Thursday, December 19, on Paramount+. The episode, titled “The New Next Generation” in reference to the beloved ’80s-’90s “Star Trek” series starring Patrick Stewart, will have an extended running time, and bring back a few characters from the show’s past. Among them are Klingon brothers, Malor (voiced by Sam Witwer) and Ma’ah (Jon Curry), first seen in a previous Season 5 episode. In an exclusive clip shared with IndieWire, the duo...

Adult animation reached new heights in 2020 with the debut of Solar Opposites. The series is the perfect blend of absurd sci-fi comedy and surprising heartfelt moments.

Still, audiences enjoy the quirks of the outrageous family, resonating with scenes that offer humorous yet endearing perspectives on humanity. The show provides a fresh look at everyday life through the chaos of this small alien family, going beyond its absurdity and exploring surprisingly deep themes.

The cast of Abigail elevates the movie's unique hybrid of a heist film and a horror movie, with strong performances from the ensemble. Abigail focuses on a group of criminals and killers who find themselves tasked with kidnapping the daughter of a powerful and wealthy man. While they're initially scared of repercussions coming from the hands of her father, the group soon realizes the full extent of the danger they're in when they realize that the young Abigail isn't what she seems.

Abigail is an impressive critical success with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 83%, and despite its lukewarm box office, Abigail's streaming success has given it new life. The gory horror film is a great blend of horror, comedy, and action, all building to one of the bloodiest (and most satisfying) climaxes of the year so far. Bolstering it all is a cast of seasoned pros and younger faces, including horror stars like Melissa Barrera.

Bob Odenkirk couldnt have been more perfect for Saul Goodman, but three different actors also played him in Breaking Bads universe.

Sauls early episodes in Breaking Bad made great use of Odenkirks comedic talents, but as the series went on and the character was developed a lot more and especially after he was given his own spin-off show this role also introduced the world to Odenkirks untapped abilities as a dramatic actor.

Everyone likes to put themselves in the shoes of horror characters. We tell them, "Don't go in there!" We criticize them for doing stupid things. We gleefully imagine how we'd survive a zombie apocalypse. But what happens when that wishful thinking gets put to the test?

It's all in service of the yearly Huluween festivities on Hulu; check out the video above to see how it worked out.

Many television series start to show their age and go through the motions after five seasons, but Solar Opposites feels like its just getting started and has plenty more to say. Solar Opposites has covered a lot of ground between the family-centric antics of the Solars, the ongoing civil war within The Wall, and the intergalactic exploits of Dodge Charger and the SilverCops, but the shows recurring holiday specials have become an annual highlight.

‘Solar Opposites’ returns for a transformative Halloween special that gets to the crux of the spooky season by riffing on a Christmas classic.

“Stop celebrating Halloween? Oh no, my pretty. I think you’ll find that you Are Halloween.”

Halloween specials have become a long and storied tradition in television and they’re a great opportunity for series – comedies and dramas alike – to really flex their genre muscles and remind audiences of Halloween’s inherent splendor. The beauty of Solar Opposites is that it’s a series that’s endlessly devoted to pop culture parodies and extended satire subversions that have touched on everything from Gerald’s Game to Now You See Me. The Solar family have largely fallen in love with Earth and its customs through their obsession with television and cinema’s warm inviting glow. It’s the perfect series for farcical holiday specials that poke fun at the...

Over a year later, Sean Giambrone opens up about whether he would be open to stepping back in time and returning to The Goldbergs in a potential revival. Created by Adam F. Goldberg, the ABC sitcom ran for ten seasons, exploring a fictionalized retelling of Goldberg's childhood throughout the 1980s. Giambrone portrayed the young Adam, whose experiences with his family are narrated by an older Adam looking back, with Patton Oswalt taking on the voiceover role.

While speaking to Screen Rant about Solar Opposite's upcoming Halloween special, The Hunt for Brown October, Giambrone revealed that he is willing to return for The Goldbergs revival. The actor drew a connection with his upcoming project by addressing how the sitcom handled Halloween and his appreciation for the era.

Oh, I certainly would. I would hop back in a heartbeat. I don't know when it would happen, or if there would be any talks about it,...

On the contrary, I’d argue that Hulu is a leader in the streaming world.

If you have not been keeping up with everything that is about to hit Hulu, we’ve got your back! From fun Halloween specials to the debut of the final season of a beloved favorite comedy. We list Hulu’s October highlights.

After the Disney acquisition of Fox, the House of Mouse has been dusting off some older properties to appeal to a more adult audience. It has revived beloved animated hits like Futurama while protecting shows such as Solar Opposites and The Simpsons so that they may become mainstays of the company's streaming platforms. But Disney continues to reach further back into the archives, eyeing up a show that was once atop the mountain before eventually fading into obscurity. While there is the top tier of animated classics like South Park or Family Guy, which modern audiences will be familiar with, for a whole generation, King of the Hill will be a completely new experience. Indeed, the animated series was massive at the time of its release and enjoyed many successful years on Fox itself. However, its cancelation in 2010 after a decline in ratings put an end to that story for the time being.

“Solar Opposites" ‘Halloween Special Part 2, “The Hunt for Brown October," stars Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone and Mary Mack, streaming October 7, 2023 on Hulu:

“…spooky stuff is afoot when the ‘Spirit of Halloween’ starts to take over the life of the alien ‘Korvo’.

“But Korvo and ‘Yumyulack’ only see pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty, while ‘Terry’ and ‘Jesse’ love TV, junk food and fun stuff.

“Now that the alien mission partners Terry and Korvo are married, the whole ‘Solar Opposites’ team are focused on family values…”
