Hulu (US) currently lists “UNDEAD UNLUCK Winter Arc” as releasing tonight at 9pm PT / midnight ET (UTC: Dec 25 05:00).

If this stands, Hulu‘s release will be ~10 hours earlier than the broadcast in Japan.

Back in December 2023, episode 13 briefly launched on Hulu before anywhere else in the world as the result of an apparent scheduling mistake.
