If you’ve been hearing everyone talk about Shrill and wondering what all the fuss is about, your wait is almost over. The critically beloved Hulu comedy is officially making its way to Netflix in the United States — and the numbers from its international run suggest US audiences are going to binge it hard.
What Is Shrill and When Does It Hit Netflix US?
All three seasons of Shrill will be available to stream on Netflix US starting Monday, June 8th, 2026.
Based on the memoir Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West, the series stars Aidy Bryant (SNL) as Annie, an aspiring journalist who decides to change her life — but not her body. It’s a deceptively simple premise that hits much harder than you’d expect, tackling body image, professional ambition, self-worth, and toxic relationships with warmth, wit, and zero sugarcoating.
The series is a pioneer in body-positive storytelling, choosing to focus on Annie’s professional ambitions and complex friendships rather than a typical “weight loss” narrative. Alongside her best friend Fran (played by the scene-stealing Lolly Adefope), Annie navigates the pitfalls of the digital media world and the frustrations of mediocre boyfriends. whats-on-netflix

Shrill : The Cast That Makes It Special
Alongside Bryant, the series featured Cameron Britton, Vanessa Bayer, Fred Armisen, Lolly Adefope, Daniel Stern, Illeane Douglas, and Lesli Grossman, among many others. It’s an ensemble that elevates every single scene, and Adefope as Fran is genuinely one of TV’s most underrated best-friend performances. whats-on-netflix
