Stan’s acclaimed comedy-drama “Sunny Nights,” starring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden, is coming to the US.
Announced today, the dark comedy will make its US debut on March 11 on Hulu.
“Sunny Nights” debuted on Stan on Boxing Day last year.
The dark comedy follows American entrepreneurs Marvin Martin (Forte) and his sister Vicki Martin (Carden) as they attempt to launch a spray tan business in Sydney, Australia.
They’ve chosen the Australian city for two reasons: we have one of the most deadly rates of skin cancer, and Martin is also hoping to win back his estranged wife Joyce (Ra Chapman), a journalist working at a dead-end job for a Gen-Z boss.
As the brother-sister duo attempt to raise money for their start-up, they get caught up in a blackmail plot, find themselves panicked over an exploding crocodile and accidentally make a deal with the devil. Will the pair manage to escape Sydney’s criminal underworld, or will they pay a hefty price?

Forte revealed his love of Australia in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, after filming the series in Sydney over three months in 2025.
“The tricky thing is my daughter is now old enough that she’s actually going into a school where it’s a little more important that she’s there all the time,” he said. “We got lucky, we were able to put her into a local school… it was in Rose Bay, this delightful school, and she fit in with everybody, and we loved it there. It’s not as simple as ‘oh, come over for the weekend or a week’ or whatever.
“We would make it happen because there’s no way I would not be a part of this again, and I think we’d probably try to bring the whole family down just because I couldn’t be away from them for that long. Australia brought out the best in all of us.
“Darcy and I talk about it all the time, just like, ‘We could live there. Why don’t we move to Sydney?’ We’re both from Northern California, so right outside San Francisco. The whole harbour area reminds us of San Francisco. It’s just the best of everything all wrapped into one, so it’s all felt very familiar, but was totally new at the same time. I loved it. I just can’t say enough about it.”
