Hulu released the first alice and steve trailer, giving the British comedy-drama its first public push before the June 8 release. The move puts Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement in front of viewers now, not at launch, and signals that the series is being sold on cast and tone as much as date.
Written by Sophie Goodhart and directed by Tom Kingsley, the series adds Joel Fry and Yali Topol Margalith to the lead pairing, with Tyrese Eaton-Dyce, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher and Ebony Aboagye also in the cast. For Hulu, that makes this another title built around a full ensemble rather than a single-name vehicle.
Walker and Clement Front the Launch
Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement sit at the center of the trailer, which is the main sales tool before the series begins streaming. Hulu has already had a strong 2026 run with Paradise returning for its second season and Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice on streaming, so this new rollout keeps another comedy-drama in the pipeline.
June 8 is the line that matters for viewers. The trailer gives the audience a first read on the show’s feel ahead of release, and the timing suggests Hulu wants the conversation to build before the series arrives rather than waiting for launch-day discovery.
Sophie Goodhart and Tom Kingsley
Sophie Goodhart wrote alice and steve, while Tom Kingsley directed it. That combination points to a series being shaped with a clear authorial hand, which is useful for a project described as a feel-good comedy show and for a platform that keeps leaning on original British material.
The ensemble matters too. Joel Fry and Yali Topol Margalith join Walker and Clement, with Tyrese Eaton-Dyce, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher and Ebony Aboagye widening the cast beyond the headline names. That breadth gives the trailer more than two leads to sell, which is usually the safer route when a series needs room to build an audience beyond a single face.
June 8 on Hulu
The trailer leaves one practical takeaway for viewers: alice and steve now has a public lane into June 8, and the platform has started that runway early. If the series lands the way the marketing suggests, the cast and the comedy-drama framing should do the heavy lifting before anyone presses play.
