Hulu Original comedy series This Fool, which comes from ABC Signature, has been renewed for a second season with ten episodes.
The first season premiered on August 12th, and all ten episodes are now streaming on Hulu.
This Fool is written and executive produced by Chris Estrada, Pat Bishop, Jake Weisman, and Matt Ingebretson.
Jonathan Groff and Fred Armisen also serve as executive producers on the series.
This Fool is an irreverent, cinematic half-hour comedy set in working-class South Central Los Angeles. The show centers around Julio Lopez, a 30-year-old who still lives at home, who has been dating his girlfriend on and off since high school and finds any excuse to avoid dealing with his own problems.
Julio works at Hugs Not Thugs, a gang rehabilitation non-profit, where he butts heads with his older cousin Luis, an ex-gang member who just got out of prison and moved in with Julio and his family.
The first season stars Chris Estrada as Julio, Frankie Quiñones as Luis, and Laura Patalano as Esperanza.
The cast is rounded out by Michelle Ortiz as Maggie, Julia Vera as Maria, and Michael Imperioli as Minister Payne.
The news comes on the heels of a banner year in comedy for Hulu Originals, including seventeen Emmy nominations for Only Murders in the Building and renewals for The Gjjjjjjjreat for a third season and How I Met Your Father for a second.
Upcoming Hulu premieres for 2023 include The Other Black Girl and History of the World Part II.
