The foibles of human mortals will provide fodder for heavenly comedy in Standing By, the new adult animated series set for Hulu. The 2D-animated show is set to premiere on the streamer on August 8 in the U.S.

Created by Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) and Ally Pankiw (Feel Good, The Great), Standing By is about ” the hilarity, embarrassment, and melodrama of everyday life as observed by a team of judgmental, gossip-starved Guardian Angels,” as the creators explained when the show was picked up in 2022.

The show features a star-studded voice cast led by Levy, two-time BAFTA nominee David Tennant (Doctor Who, DuckTales), Natalie Palamides (The Powerpuff Girls), three-time Golden Globe winner Glenn Close, Poppy Liu (Hacks) and Samira Wiley(Orange Is the New Black).

Levy and Pankiw are creators and executive producers, with Danielle Uhlarik (Solar Opposites) as showrunner and executive producer. The series is produced by 20th Television Animation.
