Disney+ Orders Second Season of Comedy 'Alice and Steve'
The British comedy series 'Alice and Steve' has been renewed for a second season by Disney+. The show stars Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker and was created by Sophie Goodhart. It will continue to stream on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland, and on both Disney+ and Hulu in the United States.
The renewal of "Alice and Steve" for a second season signals continued confidence in the British comedy's appeal. Created by Sophie Goodhart, the series stars Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker, both known for distinctive comedic and dramatic work. Disney+ has backed the show for another run, building on its initial order.
Distribution remains consistent with the first season: UK and Ireland viewers will watch on Disney+, while American audiences can find it on both Disney+ and Hulu. This cross-platform availability highlights how the streamer leverages its international slate to serve different regional audiences, potentially broadening the show's reach beyond its home market.
This renewal may reinforce Disney+’s commitment to original British comedy as a draw for subscribers in the UK and Ireland, while also exposing US audiences to a niche series via Hulu. It could boost the careers of the cast and creator, and signal to other creators that mid-sized international comedies can secure multi-season runs. Viewers gain more familiar, character-driven humor, but the impact remains limited to streaming subscribers already within these platforms’ ecosystems.
