2026 has already been a big year for Hulu thus far, mostly due to the return of Paradise, the sci-fi series that brought back its second season just one year after its first season went off the air. Due to a three-episode premiere and only eight episodes in total in Season 2, Paradise has already gone off the air again for now, but Season 3 of the show is already in production, all but assuring it returns around the same time next year. Hulu also recruited Paradise star James Marsden to headline a new sci-fi comedy film, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, which also features Vince Vaughn and Eiza González. The time-travel thriller was released straight to streaming on Hulu back at the end of March, and although it’s been over a month since its debut, it’s still one of the platform’s most popular watches.
Like every big streaming service, Hulu is always on the hunt for its next big movie or show, and the platform has seemingly found another winner with Alice and Steve. The new British comedy-drama has been set for release next month on June 8, and ahead of its premiere, Hulu has finally released the first trailer for the series. The feel-good comedy show was written by Sophie Goodhart and directed by Tom Kingsley, and the ensemble cast consists of 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 Alice and Steve.
What Is ‘Alice and Steve’ About?
Hulu has released an official synopsis for Alice and Steve to go along with the premiere of the first trailer, and it reads as follows:
“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.”
Hulu is dropping all episodes of Alice and Steve as a binge on June 8, and it’s already lining up to be one of the platform’s most successful binges of the summer. The show will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival before its launch on Hulu, where first reactions will likely come from critics in attendance.
