Actor Tyler James Williams is well known for his role as Gregory Eddie on Abbott Elementary. He has won several awards for his role in this series, including a Golden Globe. Fans of The Walking Dead fondly remember him as the mild-mannered Noah who had a horrific death in a revolving door. Williams also stars in Hulu’s History of the World Part II. 

The series is a sequel to Mel Brook’s film History of the World Part I, released in 1981. Brooks wrote and produced the series with Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen. The series, like the film before it, is a series of sketch comedies parodying events throughout the history of the world.

History of the World Part II released the first two episodes on Hulu on March 6, with the remaining six episodes released over the next three days.
