Overview
- Alice and Steve is a six-episode British dark comedy written by Sophie Goodhart and produced by Clerkenwell Films that follows two lifelong friends whose bond collapses when one begins dating the other’s adult daughter.
- The series won best series at CANNESERIES in April and will release all six episodes simultaneously on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally on Monday, June 8, 2026.
- Critics and early reviews praise Nicola Walker’s ferocious lead performance and Jemaine Clement’s calibrated turn, while some note the show’s plotting can feel overstuffed as it escalates.
- Goodhart and cast have defended the portrayal of an age-gap relationship as a consensual, complicated romantic story intended to expose cultural double standards rather than to moralize.
- Hulu has not announced a renewal; the show’s all-at-once release and festival momentum are positioned to drive early viewing, awards attention, and the viewer response that will influence any Season 2 decision.
