The Premise is an original series for FX on Hulu from creator B.J. Novak (The Office). This ambitious new anthology series, which debuts on Thursday, September 16, is a comedy/drama inspired by the very of-the-moment issues of modern life. Similar to Black Mirror, each episode has a uniquely off-kilter premise or plot, largely linked to technology and contemporary themes, and is an insular, tightly written story. With dramatic, unexpected performances from an extensive list of stars, including Ben Platt, Tracee Ellis Ross, Daniel Dae Kim, Lola Kirke, Soko, Jermaine Fowler, Ayo Edebiri, Kaitlyn Dever, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ed Asner, George Wallace, and Beau Bridges, it is bound to be entertaining.
Because The Premise is on Hulu’s streaming library, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on cable TV or even a live streaming service to watch The Premise. You can stream new episodes every Wednesday starting September 16.
