Duncanville - Plot

Like most 15-year-olds, Duncan can see adulthood on the horizon: money, freedom, cars and girls; but the reality is more like: always being broke, driving with one's mom sitting shotgun and babysitting one's sister. He's not exceptional, but he has a wild imagination in which he's never anything less than amazing.

Duncanville - FAQs

Who voices the main character Duncan in Duncanville?

Amy Poehler pulls double duty as both co-creator and the voice of Duncan, the show's 15-year-old protagonist — as well as his younger sister Annie. It's a bold casting choice that pays off, giving Duncan an unexpectedly warm and comedic energy that anchors the whole series.

Is Duncanville worth watching for fans of animated comedies?

If you enjoy character-driven animated comedies with a big heart, Duncanville delivers. The show blends suburban family humor with Duncan's wildly overconfident daydreams, creating a fun contrast. The voice cast — including Ty Burrell and Rashida Jones — brings genuine warmth to what could easily have been a generic teen sitcom.

Where can you stream Duncanville?

Duncanville is available to stream on Hulu. If you'd prefer to own episodes, they can be purchased on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Google Play Movies. Hulu is your best bet for easy access to all three seasons in one place.

Why was Duncanville cancelled after three seasons?

FOX cancelled Duncanville in 2022 after three seasons, ending the show's run without a formal conclusion. While the series maintained a dedicated fanbase, it never broke through to the mainstream ratings needed to sustain a fourth season alongside FOX's more established animation lineup.

Who created Duncanville and what inspired the show?

Duncanville was created by Amy Poehler, Julie Thacker, and Mike Scully — a trio with deep roots in television comedy. Scully and Thacker are longtime Simpsons veterans, and the show draws on that legacy while carving out its own identity around the universal awkwardness of being a mediocre teenager with outsized dreams.

How many seasons and episodes does Duncanville have?

Duncanville ran for three seasons on FOX, producing 33 episodes in total across Season 1 (11 episodes), Season 2 (12 episodes), and Season 3 (10 episodes). There are also 7 special episodes collected under Season 0, bringing the full episode count even higher for dedicated fans.

What famous guest voices appeared on Duncanville?

Duncanville attracted an impressive roster of guest voices over its run, including Finn Wolfhard, Adam Scott, Aubrey Plaza, Judith Sheindlin as herself, and even Stephen King lending his voice. These appearances added a fun layer of surprise to an already strong ensemble cast.

What animated shows are similar to Duncanville?

Fans of Duncanville tend to enjoy Big Mouth for its honest take on teenage awkwardness, King of the Hill for its warm suburban family humor, and Close Enough for its similarly grounded adult animation style. Ten Year Old Tom is another underrated pick for fans of the show's comedic sensibility.
