March Entertainment's groundbreaking, web-to-TV animated comedy series Chilly Beach is now available in the U.S. for the first time on Hulu and the Hulu Plus subscription service, via a deal with distributor Duopoly.

Originally produced for Canada’s CBC, the series ran over three seasons and garnered a large and enthusiastic following through a combination of broadcast play and the property's dynamic, interactive website.

Completing the Chilly Beach lineup on Hulu and Hulu Plus are the two original movies released after the TV series, The World is Hot Enough and The Canadian President. The series and movies are available for free on Hulu.com to U.S. viewers.

"Chilly Beach was the first web-to-TV series in Canada and we are delighted to launch this flagship comedy franchise to U.S. audiences for the first time on Hulu," said Catherine Tait, President of Duopoly. "We’ve seen impressive viewership numbers for great Canadian series like Odd Job Jack on Hulu and believe it is a valuable option for producers seeking to monetize their content in the U.S.”
