After initially being set for a theatrical release for the holiday from TriStar Pictures, Hulu has acquired the rights to the romantic comedy Happiest Season from Clea DuVall (Veep) in her feature directorial debut and starring Kristen Stewart (Underwater) for a Thanksgiving debut, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“With its all-star cast and modern storytelling, Happiest Season brings yet another breakthrough film to Hulu that we know our viewers will love,” Brian Kendig, Hulu’s director of content, said in a statement.
“This holiday season — more than any other — we could all use a little happiness,” TriStar President Nicole Brown said in a statement.
We are excited that Hulu is geared up to make this happen in the U.S. and grateful that they love the movie as much as we do.”
