A fan-favorite ’90s comedy is officially making its way back into the streaming spotlight. Viewers who grew up with its sharp humor, flashy fashion, and unforgettable one-liners will soon be able to binge the entire run on Hulu soon.
The Nanny arrives on Hulu in March
All six seasons of The Nanny are headed to Hulu starting March 18, putting the full fan-favorite comedy back in the spotlight. The series originally ran on CBS from 1993 to 1999 and built a devoted fan base with its rapid-fire jokes, unforgettable personalities, and peak ’90s vibe (via Hulu Press).
Created by and starring Fran Drescher alongside Peter Marc Jacobson, the story centers on Fran Fine, a stylish Queens cosmetics salesperson who unexpectedly lands a job as nanny to wealthy Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield’s kids. The classic fish-out-of-water premise drives the laughs, blending heartfelt family moments with sharp, culture-clash comedy.
The ensemble behind The Nanny also included Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, and Nicholle Tom, a lineup that helped cement the show as a true ’90s TV mainstay. Backed by Sony Pictures Television, the sitcom skillfully blended will-they-won’t-they romance, workplace drama, and family comedy, a combo that kept audiences interested across six seasons.
On the scorecard, the series still holds steady. It currently sits around a 7.2 rating on IMDb and maintains a healthy audience reception on Rotten Tomatoes, showing fans never really let it go. Much of that staying power comes from Fran Drescher’s unmistakable voice, her headline-stealing bold wardrobe, and the slow-burn love story that kept viewers coming back for more.
Over the years, The Nanny bounced between several streamers. The sitcom first dropped on HBO Max in 2021, later appeared up on free services like Pluto TV and The Roku Channel, then made its way to Peacock, and now it’s headed to Hulu.
The constant platform shuffling comes down to short-term licensing deals. Studios regularly auction off streaming rights to whoever brings the best deal, and once those contracts run out, the show packs its bags and moves again to keep the cash flowing and the audience growing.
