How to watch The Premise: Stream the new Hulu series online

While the world and its mother waits with fingers crossed that the rumors of a reboot of The Office are true, one member of that classic show's writing team is back with an altogether very different TV proposition.

Read on to find out how to stream The Premise and watch the new comedy series online from anywhere in the world.

This drama/comedy anthology of standalone stories tackles the big issues of the times we live in, in a somewhat off-kilter manner not unlike Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror.

From social media addiction to race relations, gun control, and celebrity culture, episode titles such as "Social Justice Sex Tape" give an insight into the satirical tone of how the show deals with its weighty subject matters.

Each character-driven episode boasts a strong cast, from rising stars like Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen), and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea), to beloved veterans like Ed Asner, George Wallace, and Beau Bridges.

It's set up to be one of the most talked-about shows of the autumn. Don't miss a moment, by reading our guide on how to stream The Premise no matter where you are in the world with our guide below.
