This July, Hulu is officially my streaming savior. After Netflix pulled select seasons of Fox and Comedy Central’s brilliant sci-fi comedy Futurama from its service earlier this month, it’s competition has swept in to right these streaming wrongs. In a press release, Hulu announced that it will be adding the complete library of Futurama in the coming weeks.
The press release also announced that the streaming service will house the entire run of the Emmy-winning Bob’s Burgers as well as all seasons of The Cleveland Show and American Dad. Before now only select episodes of all four series were available on the streaming service.
We’ve already seen Hulu sweep up large swatches of Netflix’s abandoned content before with the expired Fox deal, but this is an especially big get for Hulu, which has established itself as a bit of an animation hub over the years. The streaming service already has exclusive contracts with Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Disney XD, and Fox, networks that are well known for their animated projects. Adding entire runs of these four shows is a good move and one that places Hulu in a good position to sweep up subscribers who may be frustrated with Netflix.
As of today, all episodes of The Cleveland Show and Bob’s Burgers are available on Hulu. Futurama and American Dad will be added in the coming weeks. Dreams really do come true, you guys.
