It only took 42 years, but Mel Brook’s 1981 movie spoof History of the World Part 1 finally got its implied but unexpected follow-up in this 8-part series co-written and produced by comedy legend Brooks. Brace yourself for a giddy procession of A-list comics lampooning some of history’s most infamous figures, as we explain below how to watch History of the World Part 2 online and stream every episode.
Mel Brooks’ original film took us from the Dawn of Man right up until the French Revolution, with a stopover at Caesar’s Palace in Ancient Rome. Packed with gut-busting skits, it mocked everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Spanish Inquisition, and included a sublimely silly Busby Berkeley-style number featuring Grand Inquisitor Torquemada.
A sequel was never anticipated. But comedy fans have been blessed with this Hulu Original limited series, helmed not only by the 96-year-old Brooks, but Wanda Sykes (The Upshaws), Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project) and Nick Kroll (Big Mouth), who co-wrote, produced, and star in this highly anticipated sketch show.
And, as we detail below, the amount of talent involved is mind-blowing. Among appearances from Danny DeVito, Taika Waititi, Quinta Brunson and MANY more, viewers can expect to see Seth Rogan as a pug-loving Noah, Jack Black as Joseph Stalin, Sykes as abolitionist Harriet Tubman, and Timothy Simons as an accident-prone Abraham Lincoln.

How to save money on Disney+
While there's no longer a Disney Plus free trial to speak of, the Disney Plus price offers great value and is already cheaper than competing streaming services like Netflix. Yet you can get more bang for your buck when you sign up for an annual subscription and get 15% off the monthly price. Yes, you have to splash a wad of cash initially, but with so much content to get stuck into, we very much doubt you'll run out of things to watch before your year is up. You're looking at $109.99/£79.90/AU$139.99 for a 12-month membership.
If your interests are farther reaching (and you're in the US), then we'd seriously recommend the fantastic value Disney Plus bundle package. It adds Hulu and ESPN Plus to your subscription price, with the Hulu element opening up a world of more adult-focused content, including Hulu Originals like Extraordinary, Only Murders in the Building, How I Met Your Father and The Great. Meanwhile, ESPN Plus brings tonnes of exclusive live sport, highlights and documentaries. The combined ad-supported bundle costs just $12.99 per month.
What else should I know about Disney+?
History of the World Part 2 is just the latest in a string of highly-anticipated releases exclusive to the platform, including Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ms. Marvel and Werewolf By Night. Plus, there's plenty more on the way, such as Secret Invasion, X-Men-97 and Loki season 2, all set to arrive in the coming weeks and months.
You'll also find National Geographic documentaries, Disney and Pixar classics, the entire Star Wars saga, and every season of The Simpsons.
The streaming service has apps for iOS and Android (of course) and is available to watch online via the likes of Amazon Fire TV Stick, PS4, Xbox One, and Roku streaming devices.
History of the World Part 2 is available on the platform thanks to the new Star on Disney Plus that most global markets get to enjoy, which has seen the amount of content available through Disney Plus more than double, with a particular eye to shows grown-ups are going to enjoy.
Some of the best Star on Disney Plus shows include The Dropout, Snowfall, Only Murders in the Building, and Dopesick. And parents won’t have to worry about their kids accidentally seeing inappropriate content, as Star includes a slew of parental control features to ensure the service stays as family-friendly as ever.
It's available in the UK, most of Europe, and other select markets like Australia and New Zealand - but not in the US, where the media giant's Hulu service already has very similar ground covered.
