“I’ll specifically call out how grateful we are to work so closely with true animation legends like Marci Proietto, who runs 20th Television Animation,” Gruner said. 20th TV Animation is also behind a number of Hulu’s biggest adult animated shows, including “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” and “Bob’s Burgers.” There had been discussions about reviving “King of the Hill” at Fox going all the way back to 2017, but that was prior to the 21st Century Fox-Disney merger, in which Disney acquired 20th Television and many other assets but not the broadcast network.įuturama is also a former Fox show, with the new episodes of both “Futurama” and “King of the Hill” being produced by 20th Television Animation. Hulu has also ordered a revival of “King of the Hill,” though that does not have a premiere date at the time of this publishing. The launch of Animayhem comes two weeks ahead of the July 24 debut of the new season of “Futurama,” which Hulu commissioned in February 2022.
“This is truly an intersection with our original programming and our library.”
“I would say that this brand really cements Hulu as the ultimate streaming destination for animation and we’re not going to achieve that with single title campaigns,” Gruner said. For anime, Hulu has 17 films and 272 series, adding up to 435 seasons and 18,400 episodes (including subtitled and English dubbed versions of episodes).Īs part of the launch, Hulu is debuting a range of ads for Animayhem, which they describe as the “Animation Destination,” one of which can be seen below. Hulu currently has 46 adult animated series, which adds up to 174 seasons and 2,600 episodes. All the teams really shared the enthusiasm around that because it’s such a unique opportunity to give fans what they want.” “It quickly picked up momentum throughout the whole company. “Creating this brand was really the brainchild of our leadership, Shannon Ryan, who runs marketing for Disney Entertainment Television, and Joe Earley, the president of D2C,” Gruner continued.
