AiBotNetflix subscribers might be losing one popular British drama to a different streaming platform, but fans of BBC productions might find a new favorite series on Hulu. The popular American streaming service has secured exclusive rights to broadcast Channel 4’s critically acclaimed series ‘This Is Going to Hurt’, starting May 31.
The critically acclaimed series, based on Adam Kay’s bestselling memoir, follows the life of a young junior doctor as he navigates the highs and lows of working on the NHS. The series is known for its gritty portrayal of life in the UK’s healthcare system, as well as its darkly comedic undertones, which have captured the hearts of viewers worldwide.
While details about the production of future seasons were not available, the show’s creator, Ian Martin, has praised Hulu’s dedication to showcasing unique and high-quality content. The series joins other British dramas like ‘This England’, starring Kit Harington, and ‘It’s a Sin’, a Channel 4 classic, as part of Hulu’s efforts to expand its UK-centric programming.
This move might be seen as a significant coup for the streaming service, which has recently been losing subscribers due to intense competition in the market. However, the addition of ‘This Is Going to Hurt’ is set to increase Hulu’s appeal among international audiences and cement its position as a leading platform for high-quality television content.
For those interested in experiencing the series without an active UK Hulu subscription, the service offers a free trial, allowing viewers to sample popular series such as ‘This Is Going to Hurt’ for two weeks. The paid subscription costs $6.99 per month, with discounts available for students, seniors, and those with active US military service.
In a bid to promote the new series, Hulu has released a series of promotional teasers, offering a glimpse into the lives of the characters. Additionally, the streaming platform has announced a special ‘Inside This Is Going to Hurt’ documentary, which will provide viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series.
Hulu’s acquisition of exclusive rights for ‘This Is Going to Hurt’ highlights its commitment to showcasing British talent and productions, making it an attractive option for international audiences searching for unique and high-quality content.
