In June 2021,Emmy Magazine described the series as likely premiering in 2022 and described it as a "novel medium" with a "far-out premise", with every episode having table reads onZoom.[20] However, it did not premiere in 2022. In April 2023, it was announced that the series would premiere on May 12, 2023, onNetflix.[4] Part 2 premiered on May 24, 2024.[5]
On thereview aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes, 43% of 14 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "Mulligan might feature an appealing spread of voice actors, but it'll need to swap out its stale sense of humor for more incisive jokes if it wants to win another term."[21]Metacritic, which uses aweighted average, assigned the series a score of 49 out of 100, based on seven critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[22]
The series earned 2.1 million views in its first seven weeks on Netflix, and a further 700,000 views in the last six months of 2023, making it one of the year's least-watched "higher-profile" Netflix productions.[23]
And then there's Mulligan for Netflix, likely premiering next year.
