3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Aug. 21-23) — including a long-running sitcom about Philly degenerates
You should be adding these 3 newly-added Hulu shows to your weekend watchlist right now
Hulu is a great streaming service if you're looking for new shows to binge this weekend. It features a deep library of series from a range of Disney-owned networks, including FX, ABC and 20th Television. It also has tons of original hit shows that you don't want to miss. As per usual, this week, I've put together a list of three newly added shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.
First up is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," which is back for season 18. Once you're done catching up with the two-episode premiere (and the other 17 seasons), make sure to check out "Furious." This serial killer crime drama is one of the summer's surprise hits, and you don't want to miss out. Finally, for those who love a good outfit as much as a good episode, "Project Runway" season 22 is in full swing, hunting for the next great designers.
Here are three new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend, and why you need to watch them. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in August 2026.

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' season 18
Genre: Situational comedy series
What's it about? Charlie, Mac, Dee and Dennis (Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton) are back for another season and at least another round at Paddy's Pub. In season 18, they're heading to the Renaissance Faire, trying non-alcoholic beer and even getting in nine innings of baseball. Plus, it looks like Frank (Danny DeVito) is getting married, though it's no guarantee that everyone will show up to the altar in one piece.
Why you should watch it: If you've watched any of the past 17 seasons of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," you probably already know if you like this show or not. But if you're on the fence, don't be. Nearly two decades later, this show remains an absolute riot. Start with season 18 or season 1; you'll be laughing either way.

'Furious'
Genre: Crime drama series
What's it about? "Furious" stars Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black. As a former homicide detective, she's familiar with dead bodies. But a serial killer is a whole different beast. Now that she's working for the Feds, she's on the hunt for a serial killer (Lola Petticrew), who is really a sex trafficking survivor on a quest for vigilante justice. That detail might be enough to stop Alice from bringing her in when it's time to make the arrest.
Why you should watch it: This show has been a big hit for Hulu, seemingly out of nowhere. It's currently an impressive 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences seem nearly as enthused. This might be the show of the summer, and it's not too late to catch up before the season finale.

'Project Runway' season 22
Genre: Reality fashion competition series
What's it about? "Project Runway" is a reality show that likely needs no introduction. Its goal is simple: find the best new designers out there. This season, the iconic series pits a show-record 22 aspiring designers against each other to see who is runway-worthy. In an added twist, a former "Project Runway" competitor is returning for another shot at glory this season.
Why you should watch it: If you like competition shows, this is one of the best. And there are just six contestants. Catch up now on the challenges we've already gotten this season, like designing a dress for the red carpet at the premiere of "The Devil Wears Prada 2."
