Hulu just acquired a ton of FX shows
People with a Hulu Plus account, you’ve got some good news today. The subscription streaming service just signed a deal to be the exclusive home to a huge collection of existing and upcoming series from FX Networks. This means that Tyrant, You’re The Worst, Married, and The Strain—all shows that just wrapped their first seasons—will become available for streaming solely through Hulu Plus in advance of their season two premieres. They join other FX shows already on Hulu like Sons Of Anarchy, American Horror Story, Louie, Archer, Wilfred, The League, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (all of which continue to be available through other outlets as well.)
However, the real coup for Hulu was securing the exclusive rights to numerous upcoming FX and FXX shows, a list that includes:
Baskets: The previously announced, Louis C.K.-produced comedy starring Zach Galifianakis as a man who leaves behind his corporate life in order to pursue his love of clowning, only to flunk out of clown school and wind up in a rodeo. (The title gets its name from Galifianakis’ character, and regrettably not because he’ll be living in an enormous basket.)
