Hulu is making a massive nostalgia play as the streaming service has secured an exclusive SVOD deal for all seasons of '90s Friday night ABC network favorites including Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Perfect Strangers and Hangin' With Mr. Cooper. The agreement with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution was announced at the Television Critics Association on Thursday.

The shows are scheduled to begin streaming on Hulu on September 29, according to Deadline. The release date coincides with the 30th anniversary of Full House and the 25th for Hangin' With Mr. Cooper.

The new deal will be bringing more than 800 episodes of these beloved throwback shows to Hulu.

"These shows are more than just beloved hits, they were part of a cultural tradition to tune in every Friday night," said Craig Erwich, Hulu's SVP Content. "Now, it can be Friday any day of the week on Hulu."

"With this acquisition, Hulu is making available to their subscribers one of the most popular comedy blocks of programming ever," said WBDTD President Ken Werner. "These hit family comedies have entertained viewers for decades and will now be available on SVOD."

Not to be outdone, Hulu's archrival, Netflix, recently announced all the new content coming to the streaming service in the coming month. Check out the full list of titles coming to Netflix in August below.
