Disney+ U.K. Original ‘Wedding Season’ Teases Dark Comedy Murder Series in First Trailer

Disney+ is giving fans a first look at upcoming U.K. original series “Wedding Season” in a new trailer.

Not to be confused with the recent Netflix film, Disney+’s “Wedding Season” is a “genre busting” eight-part dark comedy that sees a bride’s new family poisoned on the night of her wedding. (“Wedding Season” will run on Hulu in the United States.)
