EXCLUSIVE: D’Arcy Carden and Will Forte series Sunny Nights is headed to Hulu. The comedy drama, which is directed and EP’d by Trent O’Donnell (Colin from Accounts) will launch in the U.S. on Hulu on March 11.
Sunny Nights follows a pair of siblings. Forte (The Last Man On Earth) is strait-laced American Martin Marvin attempting to get a mobile spray-tan business up and running. Carden (The Good Place) is his loose-cannon sister Vicki. As they attempt to turn their company from a start-up operating out of the back of a van into a multi-million-dollar empire, they cross swords with a ruthless gangster and must figure out how to stay alive and out of prison.
“I love this show and I can’t wait for everyone to see it,” Carden said: “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 am so excited about Sunny Nights coming to Hulu,” added 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.”
Nick Keetch and Ty Freer created the eight-episode series, which premiered on Australian streamer Stan. It hails from producers Echo Lake Entertainment (The Great) and Jungle Entertainment (Good Cop, Bad Cop).
“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, exec producer and CEO, Echo Lake. “We can’t think of a better team to handle this bold series straddling both comedy and drama.”
Jason Burrows, Managing Director, Jungle Entertainment added: “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.”
Colin From Accounts star Patrick Brammall makes a special appearance in the show. The supporting cast includes Rachel House (Thor: Ragnarok), Jessica De Gouw (The Couple Next Door), Miritana Hughes (Preacher), Ra Chapman (Wentworth) and Megan Wilding (Mystery Road: Origin).
Cineflix Rights sells Sunny Nights internationally and has already signed some big partners for the series, including ITV in the UK, ProSieben in Germany, and the streamer Crave in Canada.
