Black Ops Heads to Hulu

Season one of the comedy thriller Black Ops, commissioned for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, is set to debut on Hulu in the U.S. in early 2025.

Produced by BBC Studios Comedy Productions and Mondo Deluxe, the series was created by BAFTA-winning actor and writer Gbemisola Ikumelo (Famalam, Brain in Gear), BAFTA-winning actor and producer Akemnji Ndifornyen (Famalam, The Queen’s Gambit) and writing duo Joe Tucker and Lloyd Woolf (Click and Collect, Witless). In the U.K., Black Ops drew an audience of 2.3 million for the first episode and 1.6 million across the full series.

Season two of Black Ops begins filming in the U.K. in early 2025. BBC Studios holds global distribution rights for both seasons.

Josh Cole, head of comedy at BBC Studios, said: “Black Ops had U.K. viewers hooked on a mix of adventure, danger and big laughs, so we’re delighted that Hulu audiences will soon be able to enjoy this very special show.”

Black Ops sees Dom (Ikumelo) and Kay (Hammed Animashaun) join the Met Police as Police Community Support Officers in the hope of cleaning up their community. Soon, however, they find themselves unwittingly thrust into the murky world of deep-cover infiltration and a powerful criminal enterprise.
