NEON ANNOUNCES MATT JOHNSON AND JAY MCCARROL'S BELOVED COMEDY SERIES "NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW" TO STREAM JULY 24 ON HULU IN THE U.S. AND AUGUST 7 ON DISNEY+ IN CANADA
Hulu to Simultaneously Debut Acclaimed Follow-Up Film
'NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE'
NEW YORK, NY - July 21, 2026 - NEON announced today that both seasons of NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW, the viral hit from Canadian comedic duo Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, will be available to stream July 24th on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. and August 7 on Disney+ in Canada. On Hulu, the release will also be accompanied by the U.S. streaming debut of Matt and Jay's subsequent 2026 feature length film, NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE - which critics have called "a comedic miracle sure to be a cult classic."
NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW includes two, 8-episode seasons following Matt and Jay through a series of misadventures as they try to inch ever closer to fulfilling their lifelong dream of playing a show at The Rivoli, a small concert space in Toronto's West End. The show has been highly regarded for its guerrilla-style filmmaking, using hidden cameras, and unscripted interactions with real people on the streets of Toronto. This is the first time that the series, which has earned a cult fan base, will be available for streaming in the U.S.
NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is the continuation of Matt and Jay's comedic plots to play the Rivoli in the form of a feature length, sci-fi film. It shocked audiences with an unforgettable world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival followed by a rowdy hometown premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film went on to have a successful North American theatrical release. The one of a kind, time-travel comedy that has been decades in the making was widely acclaimed, earning the distinction of Certified Fresh(TM) on Rotten Tomatoes(R).
Directed by Matthew Johnson
Written by Matthew Johnson and Jay McCarrol
Starring Matthew Johnson and Jay McCarrol
When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008. Blah blah blah blah blah.
