D’Arcy Carden said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled that American audiences will get to watch SUNNY NIGHTS on Hulu. Will Forte, Trent O’Donnell and I became blood brothers for life while filming in Australia. We had the best, warmest, most talented cast and crew, whom we also became blood brothers with. The writers blew us away with every script. We demanded they become our blood brothers, and they complied. I love this show and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!”

“I am so excited about SUNNY NIGHTS coming to Hulu,” said Will Forte. “Working with D’Arcy, Trent and our amazing Australian crew was an incredibly special experience. And I’m thrilled that the show turned out to be as fun and funny as it was to make. I can’t wait for people to see this show!”

“We are thrilled to once again be working with our friends at Hulu, having had such a great experience with their team on The Great,” said Doug Mankoff, Executive Producer.  “We can’t think of a better team to handle this bold series straddling both comedy and drama.”

“SUNNY NIGHTS is the rare show that manages to be both hilarious and genuinely suspenseful,” said Jason Burrows, Managing Director, Jungle Entertainment. “It’s a brilliant collaboration between some of the best creatives working today, and Hulu is the perfect home for this kind of smart, darkly comedic crime drama.”
