What happens

Marvel's Hit-Monkey is an American adult animated television series created by Will Speck and Josh Gordon for Hulu, based on the character from Marvel Comics. The series was produced by Marvel Television for its first season and by 20th Television Animation for its second season, with Gordon and Speck serving as showrunners. The series stars Ally Maki, Olivia Munn, Fred Tatasciore, and Jason Sudeikis, with Nobi Nakanishi and George Takei joining for the first season, and Leslie Jones and Cristin Milioti in the second. Hit-Monkey was announced and ordered at Hulu in February 2019, as part of a group of series based on Marvel characters that were intended to lead to a crossover special titled The Offenders, with it being produced by Marvel Television. Oversight of the series was moved to Marvel Studios in December 2019 when Marvel Television was folded into that company. 20th Television Animation produced the second season. Animation for the series is provided by Floyd County Productions. Hit-Monkey debuted the entirety of its ten-episode first season on Hulu on November 17, 2021. The series was met with generally positive reviews from critics for its animation, voice acting, action scenes, plot, and faithfulness to the source material of the comics. In February 2023, the series was renewed for a second ten-episode season, which was released on July 15, 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
