Adjust Comment Print

All five shows will be available in their entirety on Hulu beginning September 29th, which is apparently "on the heels of the 30th Anniversary of Full House".

Hulu has acquired the exclusive SVOD rights to more than 800 episodes of shows from ABC's 1990s TGIF lineup including "Step by Step", "Perfect Strangers" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper".

Hulu says it has inked a deal with Warner Bros.

And speaking of ex-boyfriends, pretty impressive that Hulu managed to snag the rights to the full Full House catalog, considering that their romantic rival and Big Streaming competitor Netflix has its own relationship with the property (Netflix is home to the sequel/reboot series Fuller House).

According to a Hulu press release, the deal includes every episode of classic ABC series Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Perfect Strangers and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper. Hulu has just acquired the exclusive USA streaming rights to five of the greatest sitcoms from the TGIF era, with plans to make them available on Friday, September 29.

"With this acquisition, Hulu is making available to their subscribers one of the most popular comedy blocks of programming ever", said Ken Werner, the president of Warner Bros.

Erwich, delivering his presentation to the Television Critics' Association (TCA) yesterday, also revealed that Hulu had picked up a second season of Harlots, its ITV coproduction set in the world of prostitution in Georgian England. Additionally, a new documentary about the iconic Barbie doll will join the service's expanding slate of original docs.
