How to watch History of the World Part 2
You can stream every episode of History of the World Part 2 exclusively onHuluin the US (from $7.99 a month or get a 30-dayHulu free trialif you’re new to the service). Internationally, the series will be available through theDisney Plus‘Star’ hub, although as of writing a UK release date hasn’t been confirmed.
It only took 42 years, but Mel Brook’s 1981 movie spoof History of the World Part 1 finally got its implied but unexpected follow-up in this 8-part series co-written and produced by comedy legend Brooks. Brace yourself for a giddy procession of A-list comics lampooning some of history’s most infamous figures, as we explain below how to watch History of the World Part 2 online and stream every episode.
Mel Brooks’ original film took us from the Dawn of Man right up until the French Revolution, with a stopover at Caesar’s Palace in Ancient Rome. Packed with gut-busting skits, it mocked everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Spanish Inquisition, and included a sublimely silly Busby Berkeley-style number featuring Grand Inquisitor Torquemada.
A sequel was never anticipated. But comedy fans have been blessed with this Hulu Original limited series, helmed not only by the 96-year-old Brooks, but Wanda Sykes (The Upshaws), Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project) and Nick Kroll (Big Mouth), who co-wrote, produced, and star in this highly anticipated sketch show.
And, as we detail below, the amount of talent involved is mind-blowing. Among appearances from Danny DeVito, Taika Waititi, Quinta Brunson and MANY more, viewers can expect to see Seth Rogan as a pug-loving Noah, Jack Black as Joseph Stalin, Sykes as abolitionist Harriet Tubman, and Timothy Simons as an accident-prone Abraham Lincoln.
