IT'S "A GREAT DAY FOR HAY" AS HULU ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF HIT SERIES "LETTERKENNY" AS HULU ORIGINAL

Season 7 Of Critically Acclaimed Series LETTERKENNY To Stream Exclusively on Hulu Beginning Monday, October 14

Santa Monica, CA (June 6, 2019) - Hulu announced that following the acquisition of award-winning Canadian fan favorite and Crave Original comedy series Letterkenny, the show will return as a Hulu Original. In a new licensed deal with New Metric Media and DHX Media, Hulu will now have exclusive U.S. streaming rights to all upcoming seasons of the series. Created by and starring Jared Keeso, the half-hour comedy revolves around the dustups Wayne (Keeso) and his pals get into with their small-town rivals. For the hicks, skids and hockey players of Letterkenny, getting your ass kicked is a legitimate concern on a day-to-day basis. In the upcoming six-episode seventh season premiering Monday, October 14, the Hicks start an agricultural call-in show. Fans can still binge the first six seasons of Letterkenny on Hulu, now under the new Hulu Original moniker.

"We know from the current success of our Original comedy series' Ramy, Shrill and Pen15 that our subscribers are looking for hilarious, unique and engaging programming," said Hulu's Senior Vice President of Originals, Craig Erwich. "Letterkenny checks all of these boxes and then some. Since we first premiered season one last summer, the fan-following and conversation around the series has gained exciting momentum. We're proud to have the show join the Hulu family."

In addition to Wayne (Keeso), Key residents of Letterkenny are Daryl (Nathan Dales), Wayne's free-spirited younger sister Katy (Michelle Mylett), and Wayne's buddy, Dan (K Trevor Wilson) - while Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr are Hockey Players Jonesy and Reilly. Tyler Johnston and Evan Stern are Skids Stewart and Roald, Mark Forward is the temperamental Coach, and Tiio Horn is the badass leader of The Natives, Tanis.

Additionally, starting June 20th the cast of the award-winning comedy series are bringing the "LETTERKENNY LIVE!" tour for the first time ever south of the border to New York, Chicago and Minneapolis.
