Hulu didn’t use to be on anime fans’ radar. No, that recognition usually went to sites like Hidive, Crunchyroll, and even Netflix. But between Heavenly Delusion and Tokyo Revengers, it’s clear that the platform is ramping up a catalog that’ll have otakus quickly signing up for a subscription.
Hulu’s latest acquisition is Undead Unluck, an ongoing anime series adapted from the manga of the same name. It tells the story of Andy, an immortal who can never die (“undead), and Fuko Izumo, a young girl who carries misfortune wherever she goes (“unluck”). Both have a death wish they’re eager to fulfill, but since their unique abilities prevent them from passing, they team up and help each other out to carry out this hope.
In other words, it’s like the most twisted rom-com you can imagine or a darker (yet somehow cuter) adaptation of the 2006 Lindsay Lohan film Just My Luck.
Where to watch Undead Unluck Season 1
New episodes of Undead Unluck Season 1 are made available on Hulu every Saturday, at 3:00 AM PT. Since the episodes are released the same day in Japan, you can expect the season finale to air on December 23, unless announced otherwise.
There are two ways to watch Undead Unluck Season 1: on Hulu or Hulu with Live TV.

Hulu may be on the cheaper side at just $7.99/month, but the on-demand streaming service boasts an ever-growing catalog of original series like The Handmaid’s Tale, primetime hits like Modern Family, and BBC imports like Killing Eve.

The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
