Will Forte’s New Comedy Series Just Scored a Perfect 100 on Rotten Tomatoes

Will Forte has a new show, and the early buzz is loud. Sunny Nights just landed and critics are into it enough to hand it a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score right out of the gate. Small sample size? Sure. But still a flashy start.

The setup

Sunny Nights is an 8-episode crime-tinged comedy created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer. Will Forte plays Martin, teamed with D'Arcy Carden as Vicki. The show takes place in Sydney, and yes, it leans into some grit under the postcard views.

The early reaction

As of now, Season 1 is sitting at 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes based on seven critic reviews. There is no audience score yet.

• One reviewer praised the two American leads for being funny without leaning on old bits: "The two American stars, the reason for Hulu to be giving this one a push, are both very good, using their respective comic personae to humorous effect but not schtick."
• Another called out Carden as the secret weapon, saying, "While not hilarious, Sunny Nights works because of Carden's performance, the premise's clash of sensibilities, and its ability to give viewers a glimpse at Sydney's seedier side."
• One critic singled out Wilding for fully embracing the show's odd, quirky streak.
• Multiple reviews say the season moves with purpose: a sharp, fun watch that ties up loose ends in the finale while pulling Martin and Vicki deeper into a crime web.
• The last episode reportedly pops with surprises and tees up a promising next chapter.

Where to watch (and when)

Sunny Nights premiered on December 26, 2025. In the United States, it is streaming on Disney Plus. The rollout coincided with its release on Hulu that same day.

The takeaway

Early days, but if you are into crooked capers with a dry comedic pulse, Forte and Carden sound like a strong pairing. The first season apparently sticks the landing while opening new doors, which is exactly what you want from a debut.
