All episodes of the Australian comedy series Aftertaste are now available for UK viewers to watch. Both seasons of Aftertaste, each with six episodes, were added to ITVX this week, and the series is available for free streaming in the UK for the first time. Aftertaste first aired in Australia in 2021 and stars Erik Thomson as Easton West, a volatile celebrity chef. The series begins with Easton West throwing a pig carcass at a food critic after negative feedback, and he returns to his hometown in the Adelaide Hills to rebuild his career. Aftertaste features Natalie Abbott as Diana, Easton's niece and an aspiring pastry chef. According to Metro - Main, Erik Thomson described his role as a departure from his usual characters, noting that playing a complicated affable father repeatedly would bore both him and his audience.
Aftertaste received positive reviews from critics and viewers when first released. Aftertaste returned for a second season in 2022. New episodes of Futurama have been added to ITVX. Futurama is an animated comedy series that first premiered in 1999 and was co-created by Matt Groening, who also created The Simpsons. The series follows Fry, a pizza-delivery boy who freezes himself in 1999 and wakes up 1,000 years later, with a crew including characters like Captain Leela, Bender, and Dr. Zoidberg. Futurama was cancelled twice and revived twice, with its revival history including a return after cancellation in 2003 through feature-length specials released as DVDs and later on TV. Hulu commissioned new seasons of Futurama in 2010, which are now part of Disney+, and to access all 13 broadcast seasons of Futurama, including specials, a Disney+ subscription is required.
Obviously playing the mildly complicated affable father role is something I have done a lot of, and I think if I had done it again I think myself and my audience would die of boredom.
Season 12 of Futurama includes episodes where Bender visits Mexico, a temp worker replaces Fry, and Leela befriends a chat bot. Season 12 is not the highest-rated season on Rotten Tomatoes but has been commended by fans. How many total episodes of Futurama are available on ITVX has not been specified, and plans for future seasons or additional content for both shows remain unclear. Other regions or countries with access to Aftertaste and Futurama on streaming platforms have not been detailed in the reports.
