Josh Gad‘s web series “Gigi: Almost American” will premiere its second season on Hulu, TheWrap has learned.
The online video service will exclusively premiere both seasons of the web series starting on Sunday.
Co-created by and starring Gad as Gigi, the slapstick comedy follows the lovable foreigner with dreams of fitting in as an “average American,” through absurd situations, and an unconventional love story. Gigi carries on, despite his lack of street smarts and his trouble with the English language.
