TORONTO – CraveTV’s hit original series Letterkenny has been picked up by U.S. streaming platform Hulu.

Seasons 1 and 2 of the small-town comedy series will make their U.S. debut on July 13.  Bell Media and producer New Metric Media struck a multi-year commitment last October that includes partnering on the sale and distribution of the series and its format, alongside DHX Media, to the international market.

“Thanks to (show creator and star) Jared (Keeso) and our partners at New Metric Media, Letterkenny is more than just a brand builder for CraveTV, it’s officially made an indelible mark on pop culture,” said Tracey Pearce, Bell Media’s president, distribution and pay, in the news release.  “With this sale to Hulu in the U.S., Bell Media is truly taking Canada’s premium content to the world. We’re excited to introduce Letterkenny to American audiences and deliver more of this fan-favourite series to audiences across Canada. ”

All-new episodes of Letterkenny returns to Canadian screens on Canada Day weekend, with “a fresh six-pack” launching Friday, June 29 on CraveTV.
