ITV Studios and Hulu have closed a package deal that will see it become the US home of the first two seasons of Twofour’s groundbreaking queer dating series I Kissed A…I Kissed a Boy is slated to premiere on Hulu on 15 June as part of the streamer’s “Hulu Has Pride” LGBTQ+ month-long celebration. Season two – I Kissed a Girl – will exclusively premiere on the US streamer later this year.

The award-winning I Kissed A Boy, which aired in 2023 was the UK’s first ever gay dating show. I Kissed A Girl, is currently airing in the UK and has been lauded by reviewers across the board*. The launch episode exceeded BBCThree’s linear slot average for adults 16-24 by 290% as well as bringing in “lighter” viewers to iPlayer.

Tom Clark, Global Sales and Commercial Strategy, Global Partnerships,  ITV Studios said, “It’s our absolute pleasure to bring this trail-blazing series to the world. We’re so delighted that Hulu, which has been the home of Love Island UK for many years and will launch the upcoming season this summer, will be its US home. I Kissed A… deserves every inch of the critical acclaim it has garnered for its “genre-defining” approach, it’s really exciting to see it transition to a global reality brand.”

David Brindley, Twofour’s Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer for I Kissed A… said, “There’s a huge global need for positive queer representation on our TV screens, so we couldn’t be more thrilled that Hulu will be taking our series to US viewers.
