Hulu has a new comedy that’s already become a streaming juggernaut.
Hulu’s new comedy series, with just seven episodes and a mature rating, quickly became their most popular show globally, hitting the top spot only two days after its release. Hulu has become known for original shows in many different genres, including highly-rated comedies like the ongoing series Only Murders in the Building with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, and The Bear, which blends humor with dramatic storytelling.
A new sitcom called Not Suitable for Work has quickly become the most popular show on the platform worldwide. Created by Mindy Kaling, the comedy centers around five friends in their twenties who are passionate about their jobs and navigating life and careers together in a Manhattan neighborhood. The show features Ella Hunt, Avantika Vandanapu, Will Angus, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay, and Jay Ellis, with appearances by well-known actors like Victor Garber and Constance Wu. The first three episodes were released on June 2, 2026.
Hulu’s new series, Not Suitable for Work, has quickly become its most popular show globally. Just two days after its release, it’s reached the top of the charts, even surpassing other hit Hulu originals like The Testaments. The show’s fast rise in popularity makes its debut particularly noteworthy.
The show created by Mindy Kaling seems to be a hit with viewers, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Currently, it has a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews. While reviewers appreciate the witty writing and traditional sitcom style, they feel the characters, particularly the younger ones, aren’t very believable. Specifically, the show’s use of internet slang and somewhat unoriginal character development have been points of criticism.
Despite only having three episodes available, the new sitcom is already a hit with viewers, making it a significant win for Hulu and potentially a long-running success. The season will have nine episodes total, with two new ones dropping each week until the finale on June 23, 2026. If the show maintains its popularity, Not Suitable for Work could be a major draw for the platform for weeks to come.
It’s uncertain if “Not Suitable for Work” can maintain its popularity throughout the season, but becoming Hulu’s most-watched show worldwide right away is a great sign. With a strong start in its first two days, the show has potential to stay successful as new episodes are released.
