Hulu has some of its best comedies returning in December, along with a sledload of movies and holiday specials.
The Emmy-nominated coming-of-age comedy “Pen15” (Dec. 3) returns for the second half of its second season, with Maya and Anna (played by grown-ups Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle) navigating their painfully awkward first loves.
The gang from Paddy’s Pub returns for a 15th season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (Dec. 2), and with its debut will become the longest-running live-action comedy series in TV history(!). Another beloved long-running comedy, the Canadian import “Letterkenny” (Dec. 26), returns with more snappy pitter-patter for its 10th season.
