Marvel’s New Adult‑Animated Lineup for Hulu
Disney’s Streaming Playbook
Walt‑Disney is pulling out all the stop‑lights for its own digital portals, and Hulu’s getting a fresh buffet of adult‑oriented animated shows from Marvel’s creative studio. No more kiddie cartoons—just bold humor for grown‑ups.
What’s the Lineup?
- Four brand‑new animated series, each built around one of Disney’s quirkiest Marvel heroes.
- These shows are exclusive to Hulu, because Disney is set to own a majority stake in the streaming service once regulators approve its buy‑out of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets.
- Marvel’s pedigree is proven—think blockbuster “Avengers” movies and live‑action hits on ABC and Netflix. Now it’s time to let the animated gabbers shine.
Meet the Star‑Studded Freaks
The roster centers on M.O.D.O.K. (the mental‑power freak), Hit‑Monkey, the stealthy Tigra, the sparkling Dazzler, and the eternally good‑natured Howard The Duck. Together, they’re the kind of characters you want to see on a TV screen that won’t flush your mind into a space where nobody talks about them.
The Grand Finale: “Marvel’s The Offenders”
All four series culminate in a season‑ending animated special called “Marvel’s The Offenders.” In this episode the gang ducks out of their odd jobs and joins forces to save the planet, because even the oddest heroes refuse to be sidelined.
Big Headlines from Hulu
This lineup was unveiled at a Television Critics Association event, where all the networks were spilling the beans on upcoming shows—Hulu’s latest push into adult‑animation is pretty much the talk of the town.
