Nirvanna the Band the Show Heads to Hulu
NEON has announced that Nirvanna the Band the Show, along with its 2026 feature film, will stream on Hulu in the United States starting July 24, with Disney+ in Canada following on August 7. The two eight-episode seasons of the Canadian cult comedy, created by Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, have been known for guerrilla-style filmmaking, hidden-camera stunts, and unscripted interactions in Toronto as the duo pursues a Rivoli show. The movie, a sci-fi time-travel installment that continues the pair’s misadventures, will also debut on Hulu on the same day. The release marks the show’s first major U.S. streaming availability after years of fan-fueled, legally murky access and a national spotlight from festivals like SXSW and TIFF. The announcements emphasize the series’ devoted following and its status as a viral hit that translated from online buzz to formal streaming distribution.
