Where to Stream Gravity Falls: Every Season and the Shorts
All of Gravity Falls streams on Disney+, and both seasons are also on Hulu. The series' 40 episodes across two seasons (2012 to 2014) are on both services. The separate Gravity Falls (Shorts) collection of 17 mini-episodes is on Disney+.
Alex Hirsch created the show, which follows twins Dipper and Mabel Pines as they spend the summer with their Great Uncle Stan, Grunkle Stan, at the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Jason Ritter voices Dipper, Kristen Schaal voices Mabel and Hirsch voices Stan.

How to watch Gravity Falls on your TV with DIRECTV
Disney+ and Hulu are streaming apps, not a DIRECTV channel, so you won't find it in the channel guide. You can watch in the Disney+ or Hulu app on a DIRECTV Gemini device, a smart TV or a streaming stick, and switch back to live DIRECTV channels on the same TV.
