'Hit-Monkey' Grapples In The Big Apple In Season 2 Trailer
Based on the Marvel comic, the season premieres July 15
It’s time to deal with the devil, but not across the river. Hulu has released the season two trailer for Marvel’s Hit-Monkey to hype the July 15 release. Surprisingly they were pretty upfront about it being a Marvel production even if it’s not one from Marvel Studios or Marvel Animation.
Hit-Monkey follows a Japanese snow monkey who, partnering with the ghost of an American assassin named Bryce, goes on a revenge-fueled killing-spree and becomes the famous “killer of killers.” But with this new season and the voyage to New York City, Monkey seems to have found a path to escape this vengeful life. Bryce attempts to repair the damage to those he wronged in his. But doing so may come at great cost. The season 2 trailer actually gives an idea of what the cost is, as Bryce goes through hell to make a deal with the devil for 48 hours of corporeality to reconcile with his daughter. And it turns out she loves machine guns, to dad’s horror.
New 'Hit-Monkey' Season 2 Images Released By Hulu
It’s been 31 months since the adult animated Marvel series Hit-Monkey dropped its entire first season on Hulu. It’s an interesting situation where it’s the last vestige of an old deal of Hulu Marvel content, but isn’t alone anymore (as far as active shows) now that Hulu has been integrated into
Hit-Monkey is co-created by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, who also serve as executive producers, based on the comic books created by Daniel Way and Dalibor Talajić. The series is now produced under 20th Television Animation, and stars Fred Tatasciore vocalizing as Hit-Monkey and Jason Sudeikis as Bryce Fowler, with Ally Maki as Haruka and Olivia Munn as Akiko Yokohama. It is Cristin Milioti, soon to be seen in Max’s The Penguin who voices Iris, Bryce’s abandoned daughter who vowed never to be like him but turns out to be very much so, easing the path of reconciliation. Leslie Jones also joins as Eunice, sarcastic, foul-mouthed and tough-as-nails agent for assassins in New York City, with Bryce being one of them, and so becomes a close ally.
Hit-Monkey is the first of three Hulu adult animated series releases over the course of this summer, with Futurama season 12 premiering two weeks later on July 29, and Solar Opposites season 5 two weeks after that on August 12. So maybe this release will herald their trailers too.
