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. But it also has tons of original hit shows that you don't want to miss.
With so much available to watch, though, it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. Don't worry; I've put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.
First up is "The Bear" season 5, which just dropped on Hulu last week. If you don't want to be spoiled about the show's final season, start watching now, because I already had the ending ruined for me. Once you're done with "The Bear," check out "Welcome to Wrexham" season 5, which just wrapped up this past week. Finally, there's "Not Suitable for Work," a new comedy series from Mindy Kaling that's been a hit with audiences, even if critics aren't so keen.
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 July 2026.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022 and watches dozens of shows each year, so you don't need to watch any bad ones. He's already watched over 30 seasons of TV this year, and thankfully, it's mostly been good.
'The Bear' season 5
Genre: Comedy-drama series
What's it about? Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) announced he was leaving The Bear at the end of season 4. He's no longer in love with cooking and has decided it's time to call it a day on his dreams of a Michelin Star-worthy establishment. Before he can leave, though, he and the rest of the staff have to get it together for one final service and one last shot at glory.
Why you should watch it: If for no other reason, you should watch "The Bear" season 5 for no other reason than that this is the end. Seasons 1-2 were two of the best seasons of television this century. Season 3 may have fallen off, but season 4 bounced back, and you owe it to yourself to see it through to the end.

'Welcome to Wrexham' season 5
Genre: Sports docuseries
What's it about? It seems like just yesterday that actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds bought a Welsh football club, Wrexham A.F.C. But it's actually been years, and now, the team is on the precipice of promotion to the English Premier League, which would change the club's fortunes forever.
Why you should watch it: At least one episode each season of "Welcome to Wrexham" will devastate you emotionally, and this season, the showrunners hit me with a gut punch right out of the gate. Even if you already know how Wrexham's promotion bid ends (this show chronicles real-life events, after all), this documentary is worth watching to have your eyes and heart opened to Wales and the Welsh people.

'Not Suitable for Work' season 1
Genre: Comedy series
What's it about? "Not Suitable for Work" stars Ella Hunt, Avantika Vandanapu, Will Angus, Jack Martin and Nicholas Duvernay. They portray a group of 20-somethings trying to make it work as young professionals in Manhattan. But given that one of them, AJ (Hunt), is already attracted to her boss (Jay Ellis), it's safe to say things won't go smoothly.
Why you should watch it: This show seems funny, at least based on the trailers. But critics on Rotten Tomatoes have not been kind. That said, audiences seem to like it, rating it quite highly. The season finale just dropped on Hulu last week, so now is the perfect time to check it out.
