<![CDATA[ Latest from Tom's Guide in Hulu ]]> https://www.tomsguide.com/entertainment/streaming/hulu Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000 en <![CDATA[ 5 top new movies to stream this week on Paramount+, Hulu, Peacock and more (Oct. 27-Nov. 2) ]]> For the second week in a row, it’s set to be a thinner slate of new movies with major platforms like Netflix and Prime Video still on the bench. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t new arrivals worthy of your attention, and I’m rounding up the highlights across streaming services.

My top pick this week is “The Dog Stars.” This Ridley Scott-directed post-apocalyptic action-thriller is an uneven ride, but when it works, it’s great. It’s just a shame it lacks consistency across its two-hour runtime.

Other new movies include an intense doc on Paramount+, a surprisingly strong family movie on Peacock featuring those pesky Minions, and an action-thriller on Hulu; this one stars John Travolta and screams 2000s direct-to-DVD movie to me. Your call if that’s a positive or not!

These are the most noteworthy new movies across streaming platforms this week, and be sure to check out our guide to the week’s top new TV shows for more watchlist options.

‘The Dog Stars’ (PVOD)

“Ignore 'The Dog Stars' 40% Rotten Tomatoes score,” those were words of advice from my colleague Malcolm McMillan. Ridley Scott’s new post-apocalyptic action-thriller received mixed reviews and was labeled a box-office bomb over the summer, but Malcolm has a point. It’s very much a movie of moments. Even if it doesn’t coalesce into a satisfying whole, there are some great scenes, and surprisingly strong world-building.

Based on Peter Heller’s 2012 novel, “The Dog Stars” is set in a near-future ravaged by a flu pandemic. Hig (Jacob Elordi) is a survivor living in a hangar outside Erie, Colorado, with his dog, Jasper, and gruff companion Bangley (Josh Brolin). Haunted by the early days of the pandemic and the personal loss he suffered, and dissatisfied with mere survival, he hops in his propeller plane to locate the source of a mysterious radio transmission. Also starring Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce, “The Dog Stars” shows promise, but never fully builds on it.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting October 27

‘Forgotten Island’ (PVOD)

The title of DreamWorks Animation’s new fantasy family flick might be rather fitting. This animated comedy looks on course to be largely forgotten. Less than a month after its theatrical debut, “Forgotten Island” is already swapping the big screen for streaming. But this adventure deserves a second look, as the 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes proves. Critics have showered it with praise for its “ode to friendship” and celebration of Filipino culture.

The colorful and vibrant movie centers on best friends Jo (voiced by H.E.R.) and Raissa (Liza Soberano), who discover a magical portal to Nakali, a fantastical island filled with wondrous sights and magical creatures, some friendly, some less so. It’s all good fun until they discover that the price to return home is forgetting all memories of their close friendship. So, they embark on a quest to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

‘Hanging by a Wire’ (Paramount+)

On Aug. 23, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, a cable car used daily by local residents for commuting became the scene of a perilous rescue when one of the chair-lift cables snapped, leaving six children and two adults stranded more than 900 feet off the ground. The terrified passengers were literally hanging by a wire. This documentary chronicles the events, with insight into the urgent rescue operation mounted at a rapid pace.

“Hanging by a Wire” holds a strong 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes and has been selected as the Pakistani entry for the Best International Feature Film at the upcoming 99th Academy Awards. Combining footage shot at the scene with expert insight, it certainly looks like a thrilling but also stomach-turning watch. However, some critics were disappointed at the lack of testimony from the young schoolboys trapped in the suspended cable car cabin for multiple hours.

Watch on Paramount+ starting October 28

‘Minions & Monsters’ (Peacock)

Another one for younger viewers this week, but slightly older watchers shouldn’t so easily discount “Minions & Monsters.” I can’t believe I’m saying this about a movie starring those little yellow irritants, but the third installment in the “Despicable Me” spin-off series is actually a remarkably fond tribute to classic cinema. Kids will love the bright colors and slapstick gags, but grown-ups are catered to with genuinely chuckle-worthy nods to the golden age of the movies.

Set four decades before 2022’s “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” the animated family film follows a new tribe of Minions, who, in their quest to find a new master to serve, accidentally become stars of the silent movie era. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t last long, and the Minions blow their chance to become Hollywood legends, all before having to defend Tinsel Town from an eyeball-covered creature they accidentally unleashed on Los Angeles. It’s still a Minions movie at its core, but it's not just for kids.

Watch on Peacock starting October 28

‘The Gentleman Thief’ (Hulu)

“The Gentleman Thief” gives me major flashbacks to the direct-to-DVD era, when you’d stumble upon a movie you’d never even heard of in the media aisle at Walmart. I don’t know if that’s a compliment per se, but this new John Travolta-fronted action-thriller certainly appears to have that same B-movie quality. It's also a sequel, part of the action franchise that started with 2024’s “Cash Out” and continued last year with “High Rollers.”

In the series, Travolta plays Mason Goddard, a retired master thief whose retirement seems to be in name only, considering he keeps getting dragged into new missions. This time he’s trying to protect his impulsive brother, Shawn (Lukas Haas), after a failed $100 million yacht heist. With old foes emerging, a ruthless kingpin on his tail, and a priceless painting to steal, Mason needs to deploy every trick in the book to stay one step ahead of his enemies.

]]> <![CDATA[ New on Hulu and Disney+ in November 2026: All the new shows and movies to watch ]]> The leaves are covering the ground and the holidays are creeping ever closer, which means it’s time to settle in with a fresh wave of shows on Hulu and Disney+. This November brings an exciting lineup to the streaming service siblings, led by a splashy returning favorite, a lavish new K-drama and a long-awaited chapter of a fan-favorite fantasy series.

Kickstarting the month on Nov. 4, season 2 of Ryan Murphy’s “All’s Fair” premieres on Hulu. The campy courtroom drama reunites Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and the rest of the all-female divorce firm for another round of high-stakes scandals, secrets, and stilettos. Dropping that same day on Disney+ and Hulu is “The Remarried Empress,” a live-action K-drama adaptation of the wildly popular webtoon about an empress who boldly rewrites her own destiny after her husband brings home a new concubine.

Later in the month on Nov. 20, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” returns for its third season. Adapting Rick Riordan’s “The Titan’s Curse,” this new installment follows Percy and his friends as they race against time to rescue a kidnapped Annabeth and save Olympus from the encroaching Titans. Want to see what else is hitting your watchlist this month? Keep reading to explore our top picks and the full list of everything coming to Hulu and Disney+ in November.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in November 2026: Top picks

'All's Fair' season 2

Ryan Murphy’s campy courtroom saga returns for a second season, back inside the all-female divorce firm of Grant, Ronson & Greene. After the attorneys split from their old male-led practice to strike out on their own, season 2 drops them into a fresh storm of scandals, secrets and stilettos, as new allegiances form, friendships are tested and a shocking revelation threatens the very existence of the firm. You know, no pressure or whatever.

The same group from season 1 is back, including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close, with Cauã Reymond joining the cast this season.

Stream on Hulu beginning November 4

'The Remarried Empress'

This lavish Korean period drama, based on the hugely popular webtoon, follows Navier, the beloved and impossibly composed empress of the Eastern Empire, who has built a prosperous land alongside her husband, Emperor Sovieshu. Her world is turned upside down when Sovieshu brings Rashta, a runaway slave, back to the palace with plans to make her his concubine.

Rather than let heartbreak rule her, Navier keeps her composure, and when Prince Heinrey, a charming rival leader from the Western Kingdom, takes an interest in her, she makes a life-changing choice to rewrite her own destiny. Shin Min-a stars as Navier, with Lee Jong-suk as Heinrey, Ju Ji-hoon as Sovieshu and Lee Se-young as Rashta. You've got plenty of time to catch up with the webtoon if you start reading now.

Stream on Hulu beginning November 4

'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' season 3

Disney+’s hit adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved book series returns for a third season, this time bringing “The Titan’s Curse,” the third novel, to the screen for the first time. When Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) suddenly vanishes and the Oracle of Delphi delivers a Great Prophecy that could decide the fate of Olympus, Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) set off on a perilous new quest, racing to rescue Annabeth and the goddess Artemis (Dafne Keen) from the clutches of the Titan Atlas (Holt McCallany).

Expect new allies, including the di Angelo siblings, and a noticeably darker turn for the young demigods -- perfect for scratching that YA fantasy itch if you're a big reader or have kids in the house who can't get enough of Jackson.

The leaves are covering the ground and the holidays are creeping ever closer, which means it’s time to settle in with a fresh wave of shows on Hulu and Disney+. This November brings an exciting lineup to the streaming service siblings, led by a splashy returning favorite, a lavish new K-drama and a long-awaited chapter of a fan-favorite fantasy series.

Kickstarting the month on Nov. 4, season 2 of Ryan Murphy’s “All’s Fair” premieres on Hulu. The campy courtroom drama reunites Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and the rest of the all-female divorce firm for another round of high-stakes scandals, secrets, and stilettos. Dropping that same day on Disney+ and Hulu is “The Remarried Empress,” a live-action K-drama adaptation of the wildly popular webtoon about an empress who boldly rewrites her own destiny after her husband brings home a new concubine.

Later in the month on Nov. 20, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” returns for its third season. Adapting Rick Riordan’s “The Titan’s Curse,” this new installment follows Percy and his friends as they race against time to rescue a kidnapped Annabeth and save Olympus from the encroaching Titans. Want to see what else is hitting your watchlist this month? Keep reading to explore our top picks and the full list of everything coming to Hulu and Disney+ in November.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in November 2026: Top picks

'All's Fair' season 2

Ryan Murphy’s campy courtroom saga returns for a second season, back inside the all-female divorce firm of Grant, Ronson & Greene. After the attorneys split from their old male-led practice to strike out on their own, season 2 drops them into a fresh storm of scandals, secrets and stilettos, as new allegiances form, friendships are tested and a shocking revelation threatens the very existence of the firm. You know, no pressure or whatever.

The same group from season 1 is back, including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close, with Cauã Reymond joining the cast this season.

Stream on Hulu beginning November 4

'The Remarried Empress'

This lavish Korean period drama, based on the hugely popular webtoon, follows Navier, the beloved and impossibly composed empress of the Eastern Empire, who has built a prosperous land alongside her husband, Emperor Sovieshu. Her world is turned upside down when Sovieshu brings Rashta, a runaway slave, back to the palace with plans to make her his concubine.

Rather than let heartbreak rule her, Navier keeps her composure, and when Prince Heinrey, a charming rival leader from the Western Kingdom, takes an interest in her, she makes a life-changing choice to rewrite her own destiny. Shin Min-a stars as Navier, with Lee Jong-suk as Heinrey, Ju Ji-hoon as Sovieshu and Lee Se-young as Rashta. You've got plenty of time to catch up with the webtoon if you start reading now.

Stream on Hulu beginning November 4

'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' season 3

Disney+’s hit adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved book series returns for a third season, this time bringing “The Titan’s Curse,” the third novel, to the screen for the first time. When Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) suddenly vanishes and the Oracle of Delphi delivers a Great Prophecy that could decide the fate of Olympus, Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) set off on a perilous new quest, racing to rescue Annabeth and the goddess Artemis (Dafne Keen) from the clutches of the Titan Atlas (Holt McCallany).

Expect new allies, including the di Angelo siblings, and a noticeably darker turn for the young demigods -- perfect for scratching that YA fantasy itch if you're a big reader or have kids in the house who can't get enough of Jackson.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Oct. 23-25) ]]> We're rolling through October faster than the leaves are falling off the trees, and that means we've landed at another weekend where you should head to Hulu to find something new to watch. There's always something to discover on the streamer, and this weekend is no different, with tricks and treats galore to keep you binge-watching all the way through. So, without further ado, here are three new titles worth adding to your queue this weekend.

Dive into the South Korean romance “Between Steps” for a huge dose of addictive slow-burn romance. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ahn Pan-seok, it follows a former swimmer and a woman starting over as they fall for each other in a university robotics lab.

Then you can change gears with “Phony,” a twisty new mystery starring Connie Britton and Sam Nivola. When a teenager wakes up in the hospital after a car crash, he’s convinced his mom has been replaced by an imposter, even though nobody else notices.

Next, Ethan Hawke returns in “The Lowdown” season 2, the acclaimed crime caper from “Reservation Dogs” creator Sterlin Harjo, with Tommy Lee Jones joining the fun as Hawke’s “truthstorian” bookseller digs into a new mystery in Tulsa.

Want more to choose from? Check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026 and keep coming back as we keep you updated every week.

'Between Steps'

Genre: Korean drama

What it’s about? Park Min-jae (Choo Young-woo) was a promising competitive swimmer until illness cost him his leg. But he hasn't let that get him down -- he's been able to settle into a calmer life as a robotics PhD student. When Im Yu-jin (Kim So-hyun), a woman starting over after her own plans fell apart, stumbles into his world and takes up robotics herself, the two are drawn together in this slow-burn romance.

Why you should watch it: This slow but absolutely lovely drama is a low-key antidote to some of the flashier, busier Korean dramas, and there's impeccable chemistry between its two leads. If you’re a K-drama fan or just want something gentle and character-driven to sink into, this is an excellent place to start and may just kick off a K-drama addiction.

Watch "Between Steps" on Hulu now

'Phony'

Genre: Mystery

What it’s about? “Phony” starts with a question most of us never have to ask: what if your mother wasn’t really your mother? Sam Nivola (“The White Lotus”) plays Sonny, a teenager who’s weirdly close to his single mom Ellen (Connie Britton), who also happens to be the principal of his school. On the night he’s supposed to lose his virginity, Sonny’s car crashes in the woods, and when he wakes up in the hospital, he’s convinced the woman at his bedside is an imposter wearing his mother’s face, even though no one else seems to notice. That's just the beginning of the weirdness as things spiral even further out of controll.

Why you should watch it: Created by Nick Paley and executive produced by “The Cabin in the Woods” writer Drew Goddard, “Phony” is one of the mjost intriguing original series you'll see this year. It’s strange, funny and unsettling in equal measure, and a good pick for diving into around Halloween.

Watch 'Phony' on Hulu now

'The Lowdown' season 2

Genre: Crime

What it’s about? Ethan Hawke returns as Lee Raybon, the self-described “truthstorian” at the heart of Sterlin Harjo’s acclaimed series. Lee runs a struggling bookstore, but his real calling is digging into local corruption as an amateur investigative journalist. In season 2, he agrees to help a public defender (Betty Gilpin) after one of her clients vanishes inside a prison, and his life gets even stranger when his estranged father, Lee Raybon Sr. (Tommy Lee Jones), rolls back into town.

Why you should watch it: From the creator of “Reservation Dogs,” “The Lowdown” was one of the most acclaimed new shows of 2025, and this season doubles down with the addition of heavyweights like Tommy Lee Jones. Hawke has an exciting role as the eccentric, truth-obsessed Lee, and Harjo’s accurate portrait of Tulsa makes the entire series feel authentic as its stories dig into believable corruption.

The satirical comedy is about a down-on-his-luck film star (Evans) who, along with fellow attendees at a ritzy environmental gala, gets held hostage on a remote Greek island by an eco-zealot (Taylor-Joy) and her devoted followers.

"Sacrifice" arrived on the streaming service on Oct. 16 and quickly rose to the top three of Netflix's weekly movie charts. The Romain Gavras-directed flick was clearly a hit with fans, thanks to its mix of high-stakes action, pitch-black humor and pointed takedowns of everything from celebrity vanity to performative activism. (It was, admittedly, far less successful with critics; as of press time, "Sacrifice" only has a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.)

But if you're looking for movies that have a similar satirical edge and wild premise, here are three fun ones (including yet another Anya Taylor-Joy favorite) that you should add to your next watchlist.

'Triangle of Sadness'

Written and directed by Ruben Östlund in his English-language feature debut, this Palme d’Or winner follows a pair of celebrity models (played by Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean) who are invited on a luxury super-yacht in exchange for social-media promo. Their pleasure cruise, however, quickly descends into chaos thanks to a raging storm, a drunk boat captain (Woody Harrelson), and a gnarly case of food poisoning; soon the passengers find themselves stranded on a deserted island.

As the group fights to survive, the social hierarchy and class system that initially powered the trip have collapsed, with the privileged folks lacking basic survival skills and the less-fortunate boat staff now in charge. Breakout Dolly de Leon is particularly excellent as toilet manager Abigail, navigating the character's sinister about-face from timid crew member to terrifying leader.

'No Other Choice'

Filmmaking legend Park Chan-wook ("The Handmaiden," "Decision to Leave") deliciously taps into sharp satire with this 2025 black comedy, adapted from Donald E. Westlake’s 1997 novel "The Ax." Led by a brilliant Lee Byung Hun, the Korean thriller revolves around devoted family man Yoo Man-su, whose cushy middle-class life is upended when he's abruptly laid off from the paper-making company he worked at for 25 years. Unable to find another job and growing desperate to maintain his family's standard of living, Man-su resorts to hunting down and murdering fellow job applicants, literally wiping out his top competition.

Though it was wrongly snubbed by the Academy, "No Other Choice" masterfully mixes slapstick silliness with genuine scares, at once sending up the absurdity of the corporate rat race while offering enough moral murkiness that you're never quite sure exactly who you're supposed to be rooting for.

'The Menu'

If you liked Anya Taylor-Joy in "Sacrifice," then you're surely going to like her in "The Menu," a "full-course psychological feast" directed by "Succession" great Mark Mylod. Taylor-Joy stars with Nicholas Hoult as a young couple who travel to a secluded coastal island for a singular meal at the exclusive restaurant of Chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). As they're seated among their fellow privileged diners, however, the duo soon realizes that this is no ordinary meal, and that the chef has a full menu of disturbing — even deadly — surprises in store.

The horror-comedy, which also stars Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light, and John Leguizamo, tastily mocks haute-foodie culture, blind consumerism, class elitism and, via Fiennes's chilling performance, the creative ego.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend —including one of the best action movies ever (Oct. 16-18) ]]> Halloween season can’t all be scary movies and gorging on candy corn. You have to pace yourselves, people. While the best streaming services are rightly serving up all sorts of gore-fests and spooky chillers, I’ve only picked one ghostly movie from my trio of Hulu choices for your streaming consideration this weekend.

While you should definitely check out a bunch of new horror movies before the end of the month, I urge you to give my Hulu picks a watch first. And honestly, I shouldn’t need to twist your arm too much, considering two of my choices are all-time greats.

“Die Hard” is one of my favorite action movies ever, and you don't need to wait until Christmas to partake in its festive thrills. “Ghostbusters” is obviously more seasonally appropriate, and it’s a fellow timeless ‘80s masterpiece I’ll never tire of watching. Lastly, I suggest you stream “The Hunger Games” franchise. The first four sci-fi hits are now all on Hulu ahead of the latest prequel instalment heading to theaters next month.

These movies should keep you thoroughly glued to your TV this weekend, and once you’ve busted out your proton pack and dusted off your best bloodied tank top, you can sift through everything new to Hulu and Disney+ this month.

'The Hunger Games' Saga (2012-2023)

Genre: Dystopian sci-fi

What’s it about? This four-part franchise has since been followed up by a 2023 prequel, with another entry on the way next month. Focusing on the tense, life-or-death struggles of young Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), our heroine takes her sister’s place in the titular “Hunger Games”. As the saga ticks along, the stakes ratchet up, with Katniss leading a full-blown rebellion against the oppressive high society forces who want to keep the impoverished in their place.

Why you need to watch it: Now is the perfect time to catch up on this sci-fi saga, with the second prequel entry “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” hitting cinemas on November 26. The franchise that made J-Law a star is well worth revisiting thanks to its tight action, winning cast and first-class costumes.

Stream "The Hunger Games" on Hulu now

'Die Hard' (1988)

Genre: Action/Thriller

What’s it about? Wisecracking yet hardnosed NYC detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) attends a party on Christmas Eve in L.A. to try and reconcile with his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia). Annoyingly for poor John, he barely gets time to finish his eggnog before Nakatomi Plaza is invaded by European terrorists, who promptly take everyone hostage… sans McClane. Led by the charismatic Hans Gruber (the late, great Alan Rickman), John must outwit these armed thieves with the outside help of good-natured cop Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson).

Why you need to watch it: Look, it’s definitely a Christmas movie, okay? Just because we’re a while away from Santa’s big day doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check out this action classic this weekend. Heck, we might be dealing with the best actioner ever made. The critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes would certainly have it in the conversation, where Bruce Willis’ finest moment holds a sterling 94% approval rating.

Watch "Die Hard" on Hulu now

'Ghostbusters' (1984)

Genre: Comedy/Horror

What’s it about? An all-time ‘80s masterpiece. When three parapsychology professors Dr. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) lose their jobs at a university in New York, they swiftly set up a paranormal investigation agency. Thus the titular “Ghostbusters” are born. After catching a ghost in a library and getting thoroughly slimmed by a certain glutenous green ghoul, our heroes face more deadly challenges in the form of Gozer, a malevolent Sumerian god.

Why you need to watch it: Hoo-boy does bustin’ ever make me feel good. That iconic Ray Parker Jr. banger! Crossing the streams! Stay Puft’s rampage through downtown NYC! Who needs Godzilla when we’ve got a 100-foot-tall marshmallow man on the loose. Filled with iconic lines and with star turns from Murray, Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver, ‘80s movies don’t come anymore iconic. Just don’t mention “Ghostbusters 2”.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Oct. 16-18) ]]> Looking for something new to watch this weekend? Hulu has you covered, with a massive library of shows from Disney-owned networks like FX and ABC. There, you'll find plenty of exciting additions that are either premiering on the streamer or being added for the first time. To help you sort through the chaos, I’ve rounded up three newly added shows (or shows with new episodes) you should consider adding to your to-watch list.

First up is “Grey’s Anatomy” season 23, which keeps the chaos at Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial going as the doctors scramble to handle a mass-casualty disaster and the fallout from a new VIP wing. Next, “9-1-1: Nashville” returns for a second season of high-octane rescues and soapy drama.

For anime fans, the cozy isekai comedy “Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill” has landed its English-dubbed first season, following a salaryman whose grocery-shopping superpower turns him into the fantasy world’s unlikeliest chef in, well, another world.

So, without further ado, here are three new titles worth binge-watching this weekend. Want more to choose from? Check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026.

'Grey's Anatomy' season 23

Genre: Medical drama

What it’s about: TV’s longest-running primetime medical drama returns for a 23rd season, picking back up with the doctors of Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. The premiere throws the staff straight into crisis (surprise!) when a collision at the airport floods the ER with critically injured patients. Meanwhile, the hospital unveils a controversial new VIP floor, forcing the surgeons to make more of the impossible choices this series is known for.

Why you should watch it: After more than two decades, “Grey’s Anatomy” still delivers high-stakes surgeries, messy romances, and emotional gut-punches. It's the same as it's ever been, which is good news if you don't want the formula to change at all.

Watch "Grey's Anatomy" season 23 on Hulu starting October 16

'9-1-1: Nashville' season 2

Genre: Drama

What it’s about: The latest spinoff in Ryan Murphy and Tim Minear’s “9-1-1” franchise returns for a second season, following the first responders of Station 113 of the Nashville Fire Department as they race to handle the city’s most harrowing emergencies. Captain Don Hart (Chris O’Donnell), whose wealthy wife Blythe (Jessica Capshaw) and dispatcher sister-in-law Cammie (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) are tangled up in the station’s personal and professional drama. All this, with a country music backdrop.

Why you should watch it: If you love the over-the-top rescues and big emotions of the “9-1-1” universe, “Nashville” delivers the same adrenaline with a Southern twist and a charismatic cast led by O’Donnell. It’s pure popcorn procedural fun, perfect for a weekly dose of chaos.

Watch ''9-1-1: Nashville' season 2 on Hulu starting October 16

'Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill' season 1

Genre: Isekai anime

What it’s about: When a magical kingdom tries to summon a team of heroes, they’re dismayed to wind up with Tsuyoshi Mukouda, a normal salaryman whose only unique power is a skill called Online Grocery, which lets him cheaply buy ordinary food and goods from modern-day Japan. In a fantasy world where those everyday items are rare luxuries, that turns out to be anything but useless, especially since cooking with Earth ingredients grants powerful buffs to whoever eats his meals. Mukouda's cooking soon attracts Fel, a legendary and fearsome wolf known as a Fenrir, who talks him into a contract in exchange for being fed, along with a cute baby slime named Sui, who joins the growing party.

Why you should watch it: This is the cozy, feel-good side of the isekai genre, with plenty of mouth-watering meals to follow if that's your thing. Mukouda’s hopelessly overpowered companions handle the fighting while he handles the cooking, and the whole thing is as relaxing as it is charming. It also has excellent animation thanks to MAPPA.

The second season of "The Lowdown" kicks off with Lee claiming the Citizen Journalist of the Year award, but his acceptance speech causes quite the stir and lands him in hot water once again. Still, that chaotic speech does lead him into the path of public defender Ginger (Gilpin), who needs help after her client vanishes.

Naturally, Lee will oblige, but the case will drag him even deeper into the dark world of criminal conspiracy and corruption. If that wasn't enough, he's also got a reunion with his estranged father (Tommy Lee Jones) to contend with. Eight episodes might not be enough to handle all those intertwining storylines, but we're sure Lee and co. will find a way to wrap it all up in a neat bow.

The second season of "The Lowdown" kicks off with Lee claiming the Citizen Journalist of the Year award, but his acceptance speech causes quite the stir and lands him in hot water once again. Still, that chaotic speech does lead him into the path of public defender Ginger (Gilpin), who needs help after her client vanishes.

Naturally, Lee will oblige, but the case will drag him even deeper into the dark world of criminal conspiracy and corruption. If that wasn't enough, he's also got a reunion with his estranged father (Tommy Lee Jones) to contend with. Eight episodes might not be enough to handle all those intertwining storylines, but we're sure Lee and co. will find a way to wrap it all up in a neat bow.

If you're ready to dive back into the web of conspiracies, check out below for how to watch "The Lowdown" season 2 with both live viewing and streaming options available.

]]> <![CDATA[ 'The Lowdown' season 2 review: One of my favorite TV detectives returns with another funny, freewheeling mystery ]]> At the end of the first season of FX's “The Lowdown,” I didn’t have any lingering questions or unresolved concerns, and if the delightful comedic mystery series starring Ethan Hawke had ended there, it would have been a satisfying outcome. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t eager to check out the new second season of “The Lowdown,” even if I was a bit skeptical of whether creator Sterlin Harjo could come up with another storyline as compelling as the investigation into the death of Dale Washberg (Tim Blake Nelson).

Tom's Guide Verdict: “The Lowdown” season 2

  • Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
  • Verdict: The second season of “The Lowdown” offers another engaging mystery filled with colorful characters and distinctive regional flavor. Ethan Hawke continues his excellent work as independent journalist Lee Raybon, and Betty Gilpin makes for a perfect new addition as the public defender who draws Lee into his latest labyrinthine investigation.
  • Premiere date/time: New episodes premiere Wednesdays starting Oct. 14
  • Where to watch: Stream on Hulu

There was no need for me to worry, because “The Lowdown” returns this week on FX and Hulu with an outstanding second season, at least in the six episodes available for review (out of eight total). Harjo places Tulsa, Oklahoma, bookstore owner and self-described “truthstorian” Lee Raybon (Hawke) on the trail of another elaborate conspiracy, filled with the kind of colorful supporting characters that made the first season so entertaining.

There may not quite be the larger sociopolitical resonance in this season’s story that there was in the first season, but “The Lowdown” still offers plenty of pointed social commentary amid its offbeat criminal antics.

‘The Lowdown’ delivers another quirky, twisty mystery

After winning a local journalism award for the article he wrote about Dale Washberg, Lee is feeling pretty good about himself, which of course means that it’s time for him to get in trouble again. It doesn’t take long before he entangles himself in another dangerous situation after meeting public defender Ginger Lafferty (Betty Gilpin) at the awards ceremony, where he gives a drunken, rambling acceptance speech. Ginger asks Lee to act as a buffer against a pair of guys who are following her, and he takes that as an invitation to become her protector, which she eventually begrudgingly accepts.

Of course, Lee is such a screw-up that he’s not great at being anyone’s protector — including his own — but he’s nothing if not persistent, and soon he’s deeply involved in Ginger’s life, as she’s being pursued by nefarious figures who are seeking one of her former clients, Mekko Dean. Ginger doesn’t know where Mekko is, either, since he’s gone missing from the state prison where he’s supposed to be incarcerated. That doesn’t matter to the people who are after her, and she and Lee try to figure out what happened to Mekko while also growing closer together on a personal level.

Meanwhile, Lee’s deadbeat father, Lee “Frog” Raybon Sr. (Tommy Lee Jones), has returned to town, 17 years after the last time Lee saw him. After being found wandering in a daze on the highway, Frog is picked up by the police and deposited at Lee’s store, and Lee has to figure out what to do with the father he’s tried hard to forget about.

Although Lee has nothing but negative feelings about his dad, Frog charms other people in Lee’s life, including his teenage daughter Francis (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) and his occasional associates Marty Brunner (Keith David) and Ray Moseley (Michael Hitchcock).

The oddball characters keep ‘The Lowdown’ interesting

One of the few disappointments of the new season is Harjo’s apparent difficulty at finding something worthwhile for Marty to do, after his crucial role in the first season’s storyline. At that time, he was a private investigator working for wealthy gubernatorial candidate Donald Washberg (Kyle MacLachlan), serving as a sometime ally and sometime adversary for Lee as Lee pursued the truth about Donald’s brother’s death.

It’s understandable that Harjo would want to keep the charismatic David around, but installing Marty as the new managing editor of the publication Lee writes for doesn’t make much sense, and Marty is stuck in his own isolated subplot about black-market dealings in ancient artifacts, bringing Frog and antique store owner Ray along. Frog, too, is a bit isolated, and Jones’ casting promises a more impactful presence for the character than what unfolds. Maybe the final two episodes will connect Marty’s efforts with Lee’s, but for now it’s almost like they’re on two separate shows.

The characters are still always amusing to watch, and Gilpin picks up much of the slack as this season’s essential co-lead, giving a fantastic performance as the alternately fierce and insecure Ginger. Like Lee, she’s a bit of a mess, but she has a strong sense of justice, and the two characters have excellent chemistry as they recklessly risk their own safety to discover the truth, while also possibly falling in love.

Martha Plimpton and John Hawkes also make strong new additions as a pair of small-town despots (a sheriff and a judge, respectively) who stand in the way of Lee and Ginger’s investigation. As always, Harjo and his fellow writers are adept at creating unique characters who embody the contradictions of the American heartland, in its mix of diversity and intolerance.

Verdict: ‘The Lowdown’ remains distinctive and engaging in its second season

Hawke makes Lee into one of the great dirtbag detectives, in the tradition of characters like Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski from “The Big Lebowski” and Charlie Cale from “Poker Face.” He’s likable no matter how badly he bungles his investigations, because his heart is always in the right place. The same goes for the show, which exudes love for Harjo’s home state even while shining a light on its many shortcomings.

While the first season of “The Lowdown” was complete on its own, the second season proves to be a worthy successor, despite being slightly disjointed. “It’s what I do — I figure stuff out,” Lee tells Ginger, and “The Lowdown” offers him plenty of chances to figure stuff out while occasionally making that stuff much worse. That’s what made him so enjoyable to watch in the first season, and I’m happy to keep watching him figure stuff out for many seasons to come.

]]> <![CDATA[ Hulu just added the one new horror movie you need to watch this Halloween — and it’s better than ‘Backrooms’ ]]> Back in May, one of the spookiest horror movies of the year hit theaters. No, I’m not talking about “Backrooms” or even “Obsession." Instead, the flick that really freaked me out was “Hokum.” Sadly, those two genre juggernauts hogged the spotlight, and this less flashy film flew under the radar. Fortunately, just in time for Halloween, it’s landed on Hulu.

While “Obsession” might be my favorite horror movie of the year so far, for my money, “Hokum” is the spookiest, and it’s a significantly more chilling watch than “Backrooms.” So, if you were one of the many who missed it in theaters back in the spring, opting to see one of those two viral horror hits instead, there’s no time like Spooky Season to circle back and give it a chance.

“Hokum” combines folk horror mythology, an eerie rural setting, and a surprisingly brash performance from the usually lovable Adam Scott. Plus, it comes from the twisted mind of Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy, the director of the equally never-shredding “Oddity.” So, if you’re brave enough, here’s why you should place it at the top of your Halloween 2026 watchlist.

What is ‘Hokum’ about?

American novelist Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott) faces a wicked case of writer’s block as he attempts to finish his popular book series. After a late-night vision of his deceased mother, he decides to head to remote Ireland, to the hotel where his parents once honeymooned, where he will scatter their ashes.

Once on location, Ohm’s personal demons become uncomfortably literal when he learns of a superstitious legend that claims a vengeful witch haunts the hotel’s plush suite. Adding to the chilling atmosphere, one of the hotel workers goes missing, and Ohm is convinced to help investigate. Naturally, this leads to the supposedly haunted room and facing the horrors within,

‘Hokum’ is a Hulu must-watch for Halloween

“Hokum” is chilling, and that’s said as a huge compliment. I’m a horror fanatic (I’ve seen 23 new horror movies this year), and consider myself pretty immune to the genre’s tricks. But “Hokum” really got under my skin, in the best way.

It relies heavily on jump scares, which can be divisive even among horror movie fans, but its biggest strength is the excellent sense of atmosphere that builds across the 100-minute runtime. Much like Ohm, when you first hear of the haunted hotel suite, you’re curious to know more, but when the time comes to face what’s lurking in the shadows, don’t be surprised if you’re shouting at the screen, wishing that Ohm would turn back to safety.

Beyond its excellent scares, atmosphere and sense of escalation — the horror keeps increasing as the movie progresses — “Hokum’s” other big strength is its character work. Ohm is rude and brash to the hotel staff at first, making him more than a little unlikable, but as the layers of his character are peeled back and his tragic backstory surfaces, you will start to sympathize with him. It’s really solid writing, giving the movie a flawed protagonist at its core.

I’m far from alone in my appreciation for this overlooked horror, either. On review site Rotten Tomatoes, “Hokum” holds an impressive 90% rating. The site's “Critics Consensus” reads, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks, Hokum further solidifies writer-director Damian McCarthy as a modern master of horror.”

So, if you’ve exhausted the usual classics already this year (There’s only so many times you can rewatch “The Exorcist" or "The Shining," after all), and you’re craving a brand new horror movie for Halloween 2026, head over to Hulu and check out “Hokum.” Just prepared to sleep with the light on after.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Oct. 9-11) ]]> Between Hulu and Disney+, there's no shortage of new shows to binge this weekend. Hulu has an extensive library of shows from Disney-owned networks like FX and ABC, and Disney+ has become a major home for exclusive anime and more, especially Marvel's catalogue of content. Both are stacked with hit originals this month that you won't want to miss. This week I've rounded up three newly added shows (or shows with new episodes) worth adding to your watchlist.

First up is the 13th season of FX's horror anthology "American Horror Story," currently releasing episodes weekly on Hulu. The latest installment features a ton of familiar faces from seasons past. Next, the second season of the "Scrubs" revival is also airing on ABC and streaming on Hulu. And for anime fans, the time travel saga "Tokyo Revengers" has kicked off its final arc.

So, without further ado, here are three new titles worth binge-watching this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026.

'American Horror Story: 13'

Genre: Horror

What's it about? "American Horror Story" reaches a fitting milestone with its 13th season, building its latest chapter around everyone's unluckiest number. As with every installment, the anthology tells a brand-new story that involves characters from multiple prior seasons and heralds the return of the illustrious, fan-favorite cast member Jessica Lange. Over the years, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's series has taken us through a murder house, a witches' coven, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel, and the literal apocalypse, and season 13 pulls from that blood-soaked well with multiple actors reprising a few of their most beloved roles.

Why you should watch it: Few shows have left a mark on TV horror like this one, which has earned more than 100 Emmy nominations since its 2011 debut and racked up hundreds of millions of streaming hours worldwide. If you're already a fan of Murphy's theatrical brand of scares, it's essential October viewing.

'Scrubs' season 2

Genre: Medical comedy

What's it about? ABC's "Scrubs" revival is back at Sacred Heart Hospital for a second season, reuniting the core trio from the original sitcom. Zach Braff is back as daydreaming doctor J.D., alongside Donald Faison as his best friend Turk, and Sarah Chalke as Elliot, with John C. McGinley reprising his role as the acerbic Dr. Cox. This season injects a more serious tone into the usual comedy, as J.D. rallies his friends to help Dr. Cox through an autoimmune illness that isn't responding to treatment.

Why you should watch it: The original "Scrubs" is a beloved gem, and the revival's first season earned largely positive reviews from critics and fans alike, proving the old magic is still there. Plus, season 2's emotional stakes add human drama beneath all the jokes.

'Tokyo Revengers'

Genre: Action anime

What's it about? The hit anime "Tokyo Revengers" returns for its final arc, based on Ken Wakui's best-selling manga. It follows Takemichi Hanagaki, a down-on-his-luck student who discovers he can leap 12 years into the past to his teenage years. He uses that power to rewrite a future full of tragedy by infiltrating a dangerous delinquent gang. In "War of the Three Titans," Takemichi time-leaps into a three-way gang war between the Tokyo Manji Gang, Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman, a battle for control of all of Kanto.

Why you should watch it: One of the most popular delinquent-gang anime of recent years, "Tokyo Revengers" blends time-travel with hard-hitting action and emotion. This final arc adapts the manga's explosive conclusion.

Zach Braff is back as daydreaming doctor J.D., alongside Donald Faison as his best friend Turk, and Sarah Chalke as Elliot, with John C. McGinley reprising his role as the acerbic Dr. Cox. This season injects a more serious tone into the usual comedy, as J.D. rallies his friends to help Dr. Cox through an autoimmune illness that isn't responding to treatment.

Why you should watch it: The original "Scrubs" is a beloved gem, and the revival's first season earned largely positive reviews from critics and fans alike, proving the old magic is still there. Plus, season 2's emotional stakes add human drama beneath all the jokes.

'Tokyo Revengers'

Genre: Action anime

What's it about? The hit anime "Tokyo Revengers" returns for its final arc, based on Ken Wakui's best-selling manga. It follows Takemichi Hanagaki, a down-on-his-luck student who discovers he can leap 12 years into the past to his teenage years. He uses that power to rewrite a future full of tragedy by infiltrating a dangerous delinquent gang. In "War of the Three Titans," Takemichi time-leaps into a three-way gang war between the Tokyo Manji Gang, Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman, a battle for control of all of Kanto.

Why you should watch it: One of the most popular delinquent-gang anime of recent years, "Tokyo Revengers" blends time-travel with hard-hitting action and emotion. This final arc adapts the manga's explosive conclusion.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend —including a Tim Burton classic (Oct. 9-11) ]]> Already in the Halloween mood? Thankfully, the best streaming services are leaning into all things spooky and spine-chilling for October 2026 and Hulu is very much included in that, with the platform welcoming both new horror movies and old eerie favorites in the weeks leading up to All Hallows' Eve.

That means there's plenty to choose from if you're looking for a chilling, thrilling title to click "Play" on this weekend. If you're a Tim Burton diehard, there's the gothic '90s charmer "Edward Scissorhands" (arguably the sweetest flick in the filmmaker's freaky oeuvre). But if you want something to get your pulse racing, check out Ari Aster's directorial debut, "Hereditary" (one of the most unsettling horror movies of the past decade), or "Hokum," Damian McCarthy's new supernatural-horror film starring Adam Scott.

That should keep you thoroughly entertained until the Sunday Scaries start rolling in. But if you need even more streaming inspiration, you can browse the rest in our roundup of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ this month.

'Hokum'

Genre: Supernatural horror

What's it about? Known for horror flicks like 2020's "Caveat" and 2024's "Oddity," Cork-born filmmaker Damian McCarthy adds to that chilling filmography with this year's "Hokum," starring Adam Scott as a reclusive American novelist who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, only to become consumed by the tale of Cailleach, an ancient witch who is allegedly haunting the honeymoon suite.

Why you need to watch it: Equal parts frightening and folksy, "Hokum" is "a classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks, per the critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes, where the horror film has a stellar 90% approval rating. The title "further solidifies writer-director Damian McCarthy as a modern master of horror," the consensus continues.

Stream "Hokum" on Hulu starting October 10

'Hereditary'

Genre: Horror/Mystery

What's it about? After their reclusive matriarch Ellen Taper Leigh (an uncredited appearance by Pat Barnett Carr) passes away, the Graham family — including Ellen's daughter Annie (Toni Collette), her husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne), and their children Peter (Alex Wolff) and Charlie (Milly Shapiro) — not only have to navigate their grief but also dark, occult secrets about their ancestry. As they dig deeper into their disturbing familial history, their desperation to outrun that sinister fate threatens to take over.

Why you should watch it: Anchored by a terrifyingly raw lead performance by a powerhouse Collette (yes, we're still smarting over the fact that she didn't get a deserved Oscar nod for this one), "Hereditary" creeps up on you with its slow-burn psychological dread, a curdling reminder that generational trauma can be just as frightening as jump scares.

Watch "Hereditary" on Hulu now

'Edward Scissorhands'

Genre: Fantasy/Romance

What's it about? Johnny Depp stars as our titular Edward, a gentle-hearted humanoid who has scissor blades instead of hands. When suburban mom Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest) unexpectedly discovers him, she takes the orphaned young man from his dark, isolated mansion, brings him home to her colorful (and curious) cul-de-sac, and introduces him to her family (played by Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder and Robert Oliveri). Soon, the sweetly odd Edward captures the attention and the heart of Peg's teenage daughter, Kim.

Why you need to watch it: Out of all modern-day filmmakers, Tim Burton is arguably the one most synonymous with the spirit of Halloween, what with his darkly whimsical movies like "Beetlejuice," "Corpse Bride," "Sleepy Hollow," and more. But "Edward Scissorhands" is one of Burton's most unabashedly romantic and tender films and is a heartfelt reprieve from October's usual horror marathon of movies.

]]> <![CDATA[ 7 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV and more — including the latest Spider-Man film and some spooky Halloween picks (Oct. 6-12) ]]> This week’s lineup of new movies across the best streaming services has been set, and there’s plenty to watch with arrivals on Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu, Peacock and new releases straight from your nearest movie theater heading to premium streaming platforms (PVOD).

There’s no doubt about the headliner this week; it’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” The webslinger is winding down his latest extraordinary theatrical run, and on Oct. 6, Tom Holland’s fourth solo outing as Spidey will be available on digital. Meanwhile, Netflix has a new crime thriller, "Animals," starring and directed by Ben Affleck, Apple TV has an action-comedy based on a nostalgic Mattel toy line, and Hulu is getting one of the spookiest horror movies I’ve seen in 2026.

You don’t need to waste precious movie-watching time figuring out what’s new on each service, as I’ve collected the most noteworthy picks down below. Plus, don’t forget to check out our companion guide covering all the top new TV shows to stream this week.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ (PVOD)

Tom Holland’s latest solo outing as Spider-Man scaled new heights over the summer, becoming not just the highest-grossing Spidey flick ever, but the highest-grossing movie of all time in North America. If there was any question about the world’s favorite superhero, the web-crawler just put the debate to bed. And remarkably, “Brand New Day” isn’t all hype. It’s an excellent summer blockbuster filled with action, comedy and heart.

Set in the wake of the world forgetting Peter Parker’s identity post “No Way Home,” Peter (Holland) is now dedicated full-time to protecting New York City. Operating as a hero without the support of his former girlfriend, MJ (Zendaya), and best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), Peter's powers evolve in strange ways. Plus, he also faces a new threat to the city: a mysterious villain with powerful telekinetic abilities.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting October 6

‘Insidious: Out of the Further’ (PVOD)

2023’s “Insidious: The Red Door” felt like a capper on the supernatural horror series, but Hollywood is never one to stop milking a series where there is still money on the table. And so, we have “Out of the Further,” the sixth installment in the spooky series that promised to breathe new life into the Insidious franchise but is ultimately a run-of-the-mill sequel. That’s fine if you merely want some jump scares in the lead-up to Halloween, but don’t expect more than cheap thrills.

With the story of the Lambert family concluded (for now, at least), “Out of the Further” centers on newcomer Gemma (Amelia Eve), a young mother who can travel the franchise’s trademark ghostly dimensions, the Further. But even more importantly, she can also bring objects and sinister entities from the Further back into our real world. Once a powerful demon learns of her unique power, they attempt to use Gemma for their own evil means.

‘Fall 2: Deadpoint’ (PVOD)

“Fall 2: Deadpoint” lands squarely in the unnecessary sequel bucket. The original was a palm-sweating watch and centered on two friends trapped thousands of feet in the air on a rickety radio tower. The sequel attempts to offer the same vertigo-inducing thrills, but a weak third act and an ill-judged attempt to link the proceedings to its predecessor sink this sequel. Still, there are at least some hair-raising moments that convey a terrifying sense of height.

New protagonist, Jax (Harriet Slater), sister of “Fall’s” Shiloh, is convinced by friends of her deceased sibling, Luce (Arsema Thomas), to accompany her on a dangerous plank walk on Mount Kawn in Thailand. 3,000 feet in the air, with only creaking wooden boards for support, a sudden rock slide leaves them stranded on the mountain with no hope of rescue. The two women have to summon their strength to find a way off the mountain and back to safety.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting October 6

‘Animals’ (Netflix)

Netflix’s “Animals” sees Ben Affleck take charge in front of and behind the camera, playing the lead role and serving as director. While Netflix’s original slate has been a real mixed bag so far in 2026, there’s good reason to be confident about this one. Affleck has a strong track record as a thriller filmmaker, having helmed “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Town” and “Argo,” the latter even winning Best Picture at the Oscars. Here’s hoping “Animals” is another winner.

Mark Kimball (Affleck) is a Los Angeles mayoral candidate who has poured all of his and his wife’s (Kerry Washington) money into campaigning. So, when their son is kidnapped and the criminals demand a hefty ransom for his return, Mark becomes desperate. To get money quickly, he turns to the city’s underbelly, unleashing a side of his character that was never supposed to see the light of day.

Watch on Netflix starting October 9

‘Disclosure Day’ (Peacock)

Steven Spielberg is one of the titans of the sci-fi genre. “Jurassic Park,” “E.T. the Extraterrestrial,” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” are just some of the iconic genre efforts to his name. So, anytime Spielberg plays in the sci-fi sandbox, the movie world takes notice. “Disclosure Day” is another excellent sci-fi effort from Spielberg that combines thriller suspense with an appealing curiosity about our universe and humanity's place within it.

Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) is a TV weather reporter who, while on air, starts speaking in a strange, alien language. This brings her to the attention of a shadowy organization, led by Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth). Soon enough, she teams up with a cybersecurity expert (Josh O’Connor), and the two go on the run as the org hunts them down. Their mission is to expose government secrets covering up humanity’s history of extraterrestrial contact.

Watch on Peacock starting October 9

‘Matchbox: The Movie’ (Apple TV)

It would seem the lesson Hollywood learned from the juggernaut success of “Barbie” was to make more movies based on beloved children’s toys. And so, we’ve now got a new action-comedy blockbuster based on Matchbox, Mattel’s line of miniature die-cast vehicles. Now, I have to break some bad news: in this cinematic spin on Matchbox, the cars are normal-sized, which, in my eyes, makes this look like little more than a generic “Fast and Furious” clone.

Starring John Cena, who is no stranger to the Fast franchise, having played Jakob Toretto (brother of Vin Diesel’s Dom), “Matchbox: The Movie” centers on Sean Walker, a former soldier, who reunites with his childhood friends, only to get mixed up in a plot to steal nuclear warheads. Unwittingly caught up in an international conspiracy, they need to clear their names, save the world, and drive a series of suped-up motor vehicles very, very fast.

‘Hokum’ (Hulu)

Anybody on the hunt for great new horror movies for Halloween 2026 should check out my recent roundup. One of my inclusions was “Hokum,” so I’m pleased to see it head to Hulu this week. Released in the spring, this Damian McCarthy horror got overlooked as “Backrooms” and “Obsession” dominated multiplexes. But this chiller is spookier than both, and even as a dedicated horror watcher, I found myself getting very creeped out.

Cynical American novelist Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott) suffers from crippling writer’s block as he attempts to wrap up his popular book series. He takes a trip to rural Ireland, to the hotel his parents once honeymooned, to scatter their ashes and clear his head. But once in the Irish countryside, he learns of a local legend about a witch that haunts the hotel’s plush suite. Plagued by disturbing visions, he investigates the haunting, with chilling results.

]]> <![CDATA[ If you loved 'Fleabag,' you need to add this 91% rated Hulu show to your watchlist ASAP ]]> If your idea of a great romantic-comedy series is something in the “Fleabag” or “Feel Good” vein — you know, those character-driven shows that are relatably messy and packed with smart things to say about love, sex, and all the rest — we’ve got another TV charmer for you to add to your watch list: “The Bisexual,” a six-episode British dramedy created, written, and directed by (and starring!) Desiree Akhavan.

You might have missed the critically acclaimed limited series when it premiered in 2018 on Channel 4 in the U.K., but since it’s currently streaming on Hulu, now's a great time to catch up on the show's sharp takes on sexual dynamics, queer identity, and community belonging.

Need more convincing? Here's why you should add "The Bisexual" to your next Hulu watchlist.

What is 'The Bisexual' about?

Series creator Desiree Akhavan stars as Leila, a thirtysomething Iranian-American woman who has lived proudly as an out lesbian in London for over a decade. However, she splits from her long-term girlfriend and business partner, Sadie (Maxine Peake), when she realizes that she's been living a lie and actually identifies as bisexual.

She is then forced to move in with a stranger, a neurotic novelist named Gabe (Brian Gleeson), who acts as a makeshift wingman as the newly single Leila hilariously explores her sexual identity and begins dating men as well as women.

All the while, her late-stage coming out causes ripples of tension throughout her previously monosexual queer community of friends and loved ones. (Saskia Chana, Michèlle Guillot and John Dagleish also star.)

Why I recommend you stream 'The Bisexual'

There are plenty of LGBTQ+ movies and series on streaming that explore queer rites of passage like coming out, self-discovery, found family, and the like, but only a few that focus on the unique experience of being bisexual, and even fewer with the thoughtfulness that "The Bisexual" shows Leila's story.

As our protagonist navigates her identity shift, she faces surprising microaggressions and a social fallout from her lesbian friends, bringing up tensions of bi-erasure within the LGBTQ+ community and questions of what modern-day queerness looks like.

"Carried by Desiree Akhavan's dry wit, 'The Bisexual' explores identity politics with humor and heart," praises the critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes, where the dramedy has a strong 91% approval rating.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend —including a fan-favorite Florence Pugh flick (Oct. 2-4) ]]> A new month brings a fresh wave of buzzy titles to the world's best streaming services, and Hulu is no exception: October 2026 sees an influx of high-profile movies and television shows joining its already extensive platform, especially in the horror genre. (It is the start of spooky season, after all.)

That means you won't have to struggle to find something thrilling and chilling to watch during the first weekend of the month. If you're a fan of Florence Pugh — and already watched the Oscar-nominated star take on Cathy Ames in Netflix's "East of Eden" — you can revisit one of the actress's acclaimed early roles in the 2019 folk-horror film "Midsommar."

Keeping the creepy vibe going, "The Substance" — Coralie Fargeat's jaw-dropping body-horror saga that earned an Academy Award nomination for lead Demi Moore — also arrives on the streamer this weekend. And if you really want to give yourself nightmares, you can also click "Play" on "Barbarian," the haunting horror thriller and solo directorial debut of Zack Cregger, who went on to direct recent scary standouts "Weapons" and "Resident Evil."

That should be more than enough to hold you over until Monday rolls around again. But if you need even more streaming inspiration, you can browse the rest in our roundup of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ this month.

'Barbarian' (2022)

Genre: Horror/mystery

What's it about? Before he became a horror heavyweight with the Oscar-nominated success of this year’s “Weapons,” Zach Cregger wrote and directed this 2022 spine-chiller, starring Georgina Campbell as Tess Marshall, a young woman traveling to Detroit for a job interview who discovers that the rental home she was meant to stay in is double-booked and is occupied by a strange man named Keith (Bill Skarsgård). Against her better judgment, she agrees to split the house for the night with the male guest, only to discover that even scarier secrets lurk inside the Airbnb.

Why you need to watch it: Tom's Guide's own Alyse Stanley called Cregger's film "one of the most captivating horror movies I've seen in years" and "the perfect lead-up to Halloween." And it seems other critics are in hearty agreement: "Barbarian" has a stellar 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes: "Smart, darkly humorous, and above all scary, Barbarian offers a chilling and consistently unpredictable thrill ride for horror fans," reads the site's critical consensus.

'The Substance' (2024)

Genre: Horror/sci-fi

What's it about? Demi Moore had a deserved career resurgence for her fierce and fearless lead performance in "The Substance," earning a Best Actress nod for playing fading, fifty-something Hollywood star Elisabeth Sparkle, who, after being fired by her producer (Dennis Quaid) due to her age, uses a black-market drug that creates a younger version of herself (Margaret Qualley) with unexpected side effects.

Why you should watch it: A stomach-churning and seriously effective satire on how society and the entertainment industry devalue women as they age, Coralie Fargeat's "The Substance" is the rare body-horror title to strike big with major awards committees like the Oscars, where the film earned five nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.

'Midsommar' (2019)

Genre: Horror/Mystery

What's it about? In an already busy 2019 ("Fighting with My Family" and "Little Women"), Florence Pugh managed to fit in this Swedish-set folk-horror film, directed by "Hereditary" filmmaker Ari Aster (who knows a thing or two about freaking us out). Pugh stars opposite Jack Raynor as one-half of a young American couple who travels to the remote, fictional commune of Hårga to attend Sweden's midsummer festival. That festive trip, however, soon descends into psychological terror as the duo is drawn into a violent cult.

Why you need to watch it: A deliciously disturbing watch that subverts traditional horror expectations, Aster's "Midsommar" finds plenty of freaky inspiration in everyday emotions, from personal grief to toxic romances. It certainly polarized audiences when it came out nearly a decade ago, but was otherwise a hit with critics, who called it "ambitious, impressively crafted, and above all unsettling," per Rotten Tomatoes.

A new month brings a fresh wave of buzzy titles to the world's best streaming services, and Hulu is no exception: October 2026 sees an influx of high-profile movies and television shows joining its already extensive platform, especially in the horror genre. (It is the start of spooky season, after all.)

That means you won't have to struggle to find something thrilling and chilling to watch during the first weekend of the month. If you're a fan of Florence Pugh — and already watched the Oscar-nominated star take on Cathy Ames in Netflix's "East of Eden" — you can revisit one of the actress's acclaimed early roles in the 2019 folk-horror film "Midsommar."

Keeping the creepy vibe going, "The Substance" — Coralie Fargeat's jaw-dropping body-horror saga that earned an Academy Award nomination for lead Demi Moore — also arrives on the streamer this weekend. And if you really want to give yourself nightmares, you can also click "Play" on "Barbarian," the haunting horror thriller and solo directorial debut of Zack Cregger, who went on to direct recent scary standouts "Weapons" and "Resident Evil."

That should be more than enough to hold you over until Monday rolls around again. But if you need even more streaming inspiration, you can browse the rest in our roundup of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ this month.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 feel-good movies on Hulu to chase away the Sunday scaries ]]> It's Sunday again, and I don't know about you, but I'm in desperate need of a pick-me-up as I stare at the workweek ahead. When the Sunday scaries start creeping in, sometimes the best cure is a cozy movie and a few hours spent pretending Monday's just a myth. Luckily, Hulu has plenty of feel-good movies to help you squeeze a little more joy out of the weekend before it comes to an end.

Hulu's added plenty of new movies to choose from this month, but you don't have to go sorting through them all to find the good stuff. I've already done the hard work for you, rounding up three movies that make particularly good Sunday-night viewing. That includes one of the best movie musical adaptations in decades, "Wicked," Timothée Chalamet’s charming turn as Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown," and a slept-on comedy/horror from Laika called "Paranorman."

These movies are perfect for keeping those Monday blues at bay, so let's dive into the best feel-good movies on Hulu to watch right now.

'Wicked' (2024)

"Wicked" is everything a movie musical adaptation should be, and now that it's on Hulu, it's the perfect time to indulge your inner theater nerd. Based on the Broadway production of the same name, “Wicked” tells the untold story of some of the key players in "The Wizard of Oz" years before Dorothy blew into town.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will blow you away as Elphaba, an outcast with green skin and supernatural powers, and Glinda, the uber-popular socialite used to getting her way, respectively. The two butt heads at the prestigious Shiz University while studying magic before eventually becoming close friends and heading off to meet the Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City, where their lives and the history of this fantastical land are changed for good.

Watch "Wicked" on Hulu now

'A Complete Unknown' (2025)

James Mangold's musical biopic went home empty-handed at the Oscars despite being nominated for eight awards, but even with that snub, "A Complete Unknown" is worth watching for Timothée Chalamet’s leading performance as Bob Dylan alone. It even earned the "Dune" star the Best Actor trophy at the SAG Awards.

Opening in 1961, "A Complete Unknown" follows the legendary musician’s rise to fame after arriving in the Big Apple with nothing to his name but a guitar and a dream. As his career takes off, he goes from Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) acolyte to folk icon, drawing in huge crowds with his soulful writing and magnetic stage presence. But his rocky relationship with (fictional) girlfriend Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning) and even rockier partnership with Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) threaten to derail his career just as it's taking off.

'ParaNorman' (2012)

I'm a huge animation fan, and Laika makes the most beautiful and poignant stories in stop-motion there are. I'm stoked to see their latest "Wildwood" in theaters on October 23, but until then, you can catch two of their greatest hits freshly added to Hulu this month. You've probably already heard of "Coraline," so I wanted to shout out one of my favorites that rarely gets the same flowers: "Paranorman."

Any grown-up weird kid can relate to Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a shy 11-year-old who's just trying to keep his head down and survive middle school, but his ability to speak to the dead doesn't exactly help in fit in. The bullying get worse after he has a nightmarish vision of his hometown's past during a school play. When zombie puritans overrun the town, it's up to Norman and his friends to right a centuries-old witch hunt that killed a little girl, one of his ancestors and another misfit like him.

]]> <![CDATA[ I found the best Brad Pitt movie on each of the top streaming services — including my favorite crime-thriller of all time and a Tarantino masterpiece ]]> Brad Pitt is the definition of an A-lister. More than 30 years into his career, his star power hasn't faded. Pitt's latest movie, “Heart of the Beast,” is now in theaters, so you might be in the mood to enjoy some of Brad Pitt’s best movies.

But with a filmography spanning several decades and more than 60 roles to his name, Brad Pitt movies are scattered across the best streaming services. So, I’ve combed through the libraries of the biggest platforms to find the best Brad Pitt movie on each. I've got picks on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount+, Hulu and more. Each offers at least one Brad Pitt movie.

So, whichever major streamer you’re currently subscribed to, here’s the best Brad Pitt movie on each of the top streaming services.

Note: Peacock is not included in this list because, as of September 25, 2026, it doesn’t have any movies featuring Brad Pitt in its library.

Best Brad Pitt movie on Netflix

‘War Machine’ (2017)

Earlier this year, Netflix released “War Machine,” an original sci-fi action movie with Alan Ritchson. It created some confusion because the streamer previously released an original movie called “War Machine” in 2017. Granted, this satirical comedy isn’t exactly memorable, and its lukewarm critical reception saw it fade from the spotlight fast. But at present it’s the only Brad Pitt movie available on Netflix, so it wins the spot in this roundup by default.

Based on Michael Hastings’ non-fiction book, “The Operators,” the movie tells the fictional story of a decorated U.S. military general, Glen McMahon (Pitt), who is dispatched to Afghanistan to “clean up” the situation, eight years into the war effort. Once on the ground, he faces resistance from beleaguered soldiers, stuffy bureaucrats, and a cynical journalist (Scoot McNairy), who is planning a no-holds-barred exposé that could bring McMahon down.

Best Brad Pitt movie on Prime Video

‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ (2019)

Quentin Tarantino’s latest feature, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” isn’t my favorite movie of his acclaimed filmography, but it might just be his most entertaining. Plus, now is a great time to watch, as Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth, is set to return later this year in a spinoff sequel, “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” which debuts on Netflix this December. “Hollywood” is Tarantino’s tribute to classic cinema and the era of larger-than-life movie stars. Pitt also won his first Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Booth.

Opening in the 1960s, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a former Western TV star who made the jump to the silver screen, struggles to cope with his fading career as the Los Angeles landscape shifts around him. But at his side is his stunt double and close friend, Cliff Booth (Pitt). The two navigate shifting studio dynamics and A-list egos, while also encountering the infamous Charles Mason (Damon Herriman) and his devoted followers.

‘F1’ (2025)

Director Joseph Kosinski proved his ability to capture fast-moving vehicular spectacle with “Top Gun: Maverick,” and the filmmaker followed it up with “F1,” a breakneck sports drama made in collaboration with Formula One. This gives the movie an impressive sense of authenticity, and also a whole truckload of unsubtle product placement. But still, if you want to see Pitt drive some very fast cars, it offers some of the best racing sequences around.

Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a washed-up racer who is a whizz behind the wheel but who never lived up to his true potential. He’s given an unexpected shot at the big time when the struggling APXGP team recruits him as their new driver for the upcoming F1 season. Paired with an ambitious but arrogant rookie (Damon Herriman), “F1” is a basic underdog story that follows all the conventions of the sports drama genre but looks darn good doing it.

Watch "F1" on Apple TV now

Best Brad Pitt movie on Hulu

‘Inglourious Basterds’ (2009)

Pitt’s first collaboration with Quentin Tarantino came in “Inglourious Basterds,” and to borrow a phrase from his character, Lieutenant Aldo Raine, it “might just be [his] masterpiece.” This sprawling WWII movie plays fast-and-loose with historical fact, but Tarantino delivers a movie that is thrilling, funny, compelling and tragic. Plus, while Pitt deserves his flowers for his work here, it’s Christoph Waltz who steals the show, playing a despicable villain.

The flick tells two intertwining stories: One sees a French cinema owner, Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent), seek revenge after her Jewish family is murdered by SS officer Hans Landa (Waltz), while the other centers on Lt. Aldo Raine (Pitt), who leads a band of American soldiers behind enemy lines to seek retribution for the German army's war crimes. These two plotlines eventually converge as a daring plot to bring down the Third Reich is sprung. Earlier this year, Quentin Tarantino labeled “Inglourious Basterds” his “masterpiece,” and I certainly don’t disagree with the celebrated director.

Best Brad Pitt movie on Paramount+

‘Seven’ (1995)

Paramount+ is the current streaming home of my personal favorite Brad Pitt movie. In fact, “Seven” is my favorite crime thriller of all time, which is saying something, as I’m a thriller fanatic. Directed by David Fincher (also my favorite director — yes, I’ve used the word favorite a lot!), It’s a dark mystery flick that brings together Fincher’s trademark style with a twisting plot and one of the most shocking (and unsettling) endings in movie history.

Set in an oppressive city, detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is just a week from retirement when he’s paired with the younger and overly-confident David Mills (Pitt). The two are assigned to investigate a gruesome murder, which quickly spirals into a manhunt for a serial killer who is committing crimes based on the seven deadly sins. If you somehow don’t know how this one ends, then stop reading this article and stream it ASAP.

Best Brad Pitt movie on HBO Max

‘Interview with the Vampire’ (1994)

Before the successful TV series on AMC, there was 1996’s “Interview with the Vampire,” a ‘90s gothic horror movie and one of Pitt’s earlier celebrated roles. Based on Anne Rice’s 1976 novel and also starring Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater and Kristen Dunst (talk about an impressive cast!), it’s an intriguing tale set over multiple decades that explores what it means to be a creature of the night when morals conflict with a monstrous nature.

Louis de Pointe du Lac (Pitt) is an 18th-century lord whose encounter with a vampire named Lestat (Cruise) changes his life. At his lowest, Louis accepts Lestat’s offer of being turned into a bloodsucker, but quickly comes to regret the decision. He attempts to forgo giving in to his violent impulses and plans to abandon his creator. But when Lestat turns a young girl (Dunst), Louis feels compelled to stay and serve as her protector. The story unfolds via flashbacks, as Louis is interviewed by a journalist (Slater), hence the title!

‘Deadpool 2’ (2018)

“Deadpool 2” qualifies for this list on something of a technicality. Yes, Pitt does appear in his superhero sequel, but he plays an invisible character. His actual on-screen time can be measured in mere seconds. But hey, even if Pitt’s appearance is minimal, “Deadpool 2” is still a movie worth watching. And fun fact: Pitt was originally considered for the much larger role of Cable, but scheduling conflicts got in the way. Josh Brolin took on the part instead.

Released when Deadpool was still part of the Fox Marvel Universe, the sequel sees Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) become the reluctant protector of a young mutant, Russell (Julian Dennison), who is being hunted by a time-travelling mercenary who believes that killing the youngster will change the future and therefore save his wife and daughter. It’s a quippy, action-packed follow-up, with the larger budget over its predecessor put to good use.

]]> <![CDATA[ New on Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026: All the new shows and movies to watch ]]> October and Halloween are finally here. Yes, it’s spooky season, and between Huluween on Hulu and the Halloween lineup over on Disney+, there’s plenty of new stuff to keep you glued to the couch and just a little on edge.

The main event for MCU fans is "VisionQuest," premiering Oct. 14 on Disney+. Marvel’s long-awaited "WandaVision" follow-up brings back Paul Bettany as the rebooted White Vision — now in hiding and struggling to figure out who he really is — with James Spader returning as Ultron to complicate things further.

For spookier viewing, "Clown Panic," a Hulu Original documentary, revisits the very real wave of creepy-clown sightings from 2016. Plus, the 13th season of FX’s "American Horror Story" continues with its all-star cast.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026: Top picks

'American Horror Story: 13'

After more than a decade and over a hundred Emmy nominations, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's horror anthology has hit a fitting milestone with its 13th season. Built around everyone's unluckiest number, it boasts an all-star cast reprising fan-favorite roles that has viewers bracing for a reunion-style victory lap through the show's past.

Over the years, "American Horror Story" has given us a murder house, a witches' coven, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel, and the literal apocalypse, and the teasers for this one dangle a "supreme surprise" that seems tailor-made to get Coven diehards talking.

Stream on Hulu through October

'Clown Panic'

Not every scary clown is fictional. Some may even be waiting for you out in a decrepit old cornfield. "Clown Panic" is a documentary revisiting the very real wave of creepy clown sightings that swept the country in 2016, which started when kids in a small South Carolina town swore they'd seen clowns lurking in the woods. It all got out of control from there before it transformed into a full-blown national media frenzy.

Created from real, unsettling archival footage, viral videos, and interviews with witnesses, this is a creepy and darkly funny documentary that will set the mood right, just in time for Halloween.

Stream on Hulu beginning October 12

'VisionQuest'

Five years after "WandaVision," Paul Bettany's Vision finally gets a story of his own. "VisionQuest" closes out the trilogy that began with "WandaVision" and continued through "Agatha All Along," picking up with the rebooted White Vision, the memory-flooded version left standing at the end of "WandaVision."

Searching for a new sense of purpose, he starts consulting the AI personalities buried in his own programming, among them a returning James Spader as Ultron. It looks like a much trippier, more introspective corner of the MCU, so it looks well worth investing in, fan of the universe or not.

The main event for MCU fans is "VisionQuest," premiering Oct. 14 on Disney+. Marvel’s long-awaited "WandaVision" follow-up brings back Paul Bettany as the rebooted White Vision — now in hiding and struggling to figure out who he really is — with James Spader returning as Ultron to complicate things further.

For spookier viewing, "Clown Panic," a Hulu Original documentary, revisits the very real wave of creepy-clown sightings from 2016. Plus, the 13th season of FX’s "American Horror Story" continues with its all-star cast.

Want to see what else is hitting the platforms this month? Keep reading to check out our top picks and the full list of everything new on Hulu and Disney+ in October.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in October 2026: Top picks

'American Horror Story: 13'

After more than a decade and over a hundred Emmy nominations, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's horror anthology has hit a fitting milestone with its 13th season. Built around everyone's unluckiest number, it boasts an all-star cast reprising fan-favorite roles that has viewers bracing for a reunion-style victory lap through the show's past.

Over the years, "American Horror Story" has given us a murder house, a witches' coven, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel, and the literal apocalypse, and the teasers for this one dangle a "supreme surprise" that seems tailor-made to get Coven diehards talking.

Stream on Hulu through October

'Clown Panic'

Not every scary clown is fictional. Some may even be waiting for you out in a decrepit old cornfield. "Clown Panic" is a documentary revisiting the very real wave of creepy clown sightings that swept the country in 2016, which started when kids in a small South Carolina town swore they'd seen clowns lurking in the woods. It all got out of control from there before it transformed into a full-blown national media frenzy.

Created from real, unsettling archival footage, viral videos, and interviews with witnesses, this is a creepy and darkly funny documentary that will set the mood right, just in time for Halloween.

Stream on Hulu beginning October 12

'VisionQuest'

Five years after "WandaVision," Paul Bettany's Vision finally gets a story of his own. "VisionQuest" closes out the trilogy that began with "WandaVision" and continued through "Agatha All Along," picking up with the rebooted White Vision, the memory-flooded version left standing at the end of "WandaVision."

Searching for a new sense of purpose, he starts consulting the AI personalities buried in his own programming, among them a returning James Spader as Ultron. It looks like a much trippier, more introspective corner of the MCU, so it looks well worth investing in, fan of the universe or not.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend —including a Tarantino classic (Sept. 25-27) ]]> Hulu has spent the whole of September stocking up on movies worth clearing an evening for, and this weekend is your opportunity to check some of the best new additions out. All of them are new to the service, though not necessarily new to you -- though if you haven't seen some of these, it's time to rectify that.

First up is "Inglourious Basterds," which arrived on September 1. It may be older, but it's still one of Quentin Tarantino's most rewatchable and quotable films. Brad Pitt leads a squad of Nazi-hunting soldiers through occupied France, though the movie mostly belongs to Christoph Waltz, whose turn as Col. Hans Landa won him an Oscar.

"ParaNorman" showed up the same day, and it's a great early pre-Halloween pick. It's also something the whole house can watch. This stop-motion follow-up to "Coraline" follows a kid who can see ghosts as he tries to stop a centuries-old witch's curse from swallowing his town, with an ending that goes somewhere darker.

Then on September 27, it's time to get into "A Complete Unknown." Timothée Chalamet plays Bob Dylan across the four years between his arrival in Greenwich Village and the night he went electric at Newport, with Edward Norton as Pete Seeger and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez. Chalamet even did his own singing, so that's a fun treat.

That gives you a war movie, a spooky season warm-up, and a music biopic that'll still be new when Monday comes around. Hulu's full September slate has tons more to check out, but you should be good with these early picks. You can browse the rest in our roundup of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ this month.

'Inglorious Basterds' (2009)

Genre: War/Drama

What's it about? Quentin Tarantino rewrites the end of World War II with a bit of a comedic lens here and there. Brad Pitt's Lt. Aldo Raine leads a squad of Jewish-American soldiers through occupied France collecting Nazi scalps, while Mélanie Laurent's Shosanna, a cinema owner who escaped a massacre years earlier, plots to burn down her own theater with the German high command inside. Both plans converge on the same premiere night, and Christoph Waltz's Col. Hans Landa is on the trail of everyone involved.

Why you need to watch it: Waltz won the Oscar for this one, and the opening scene at a French dairy farm shows why within about 20 minutes. Plus, any excuse to see Nazis meet their downfall makes for a good bit of entertainment, if you ask me.

'ParaNorman' (2012)

Genre: Horror/Comedy

What's it about? Norman Babcock is an 11-year-old who can see and talk to ghosts, which makes him a super weird kid in Blithe Hollow, a Massachusetts town that has turned its 300-year-old witch trial into a tourist trap. When the witch's curse activates and the judges who condemned her rise from their graves, Norman is the only one who can make things right, with help from his best friend Neil, his older sister, and the school bully.

Why you should watch it: Laika made this between "Coraline" and "The Boxtrolls," and it's the studio's most underrated film. The stop-motion zombies are funny rather than scary, which keeps it safe for younger viewers, though the third act pivots into something a little darker -- it's a fantastic early Halloween pick, though.

'A Complete Unknown' (2025)

Genre: Music/Biopic

What's it about? James Mangold's film follows Bob Dylan across four years, from the day he shows up in Greenwich Village in 1961 to visit a hospitalized Woody Guthrie through his electric set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Timothée Chalamet plays Dylan, with Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as girlfriend Sylvie Russo and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash -- yes, THE Johnny Cash.

Why you need to watch it: Chalamet sang and played guitar himself for every performance in the movie, and the concert sequences are excellent. Plus, the film earned eight Oscar nominations,

Below is our guide to how to watch "American Horror Story" season 13 from anywhere — live or on demand — including how to tune in with a VPN.

In classic Ryan Murphy style, "American Horror Story" season 13 is a massive reunion of all the best and most gruesome characters from the past. If you've followed the show previously, you'll be well aware of the devilish delights of Twisty the Clown, and he's back for more. So, too, are such iconic characters as Tuberculosis Karen, Constance Langdon, and even Madison Montgomery, who will somehow return from the dead. Again.

Thankfully, you don't have to have seen every episode of "American Horror Story" to enjoy this latest addition to the franchise (though it would naturally help). Across 13 episodes, Murphy's anthology series is set to expand in weird and wonderful ways, as characters old and new collide in a present-day crisis that leads to sinister consequences for all involved.

]]> <![CDATA[ 5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video, and more (Sept. 19-20) ]]> Another weekend is here, which means the question of what to watch is fresh on our mind. I'm not going to lie, not much debuted across the best streaming services this week, as we are hitting that middle of the month slump for new releases.

I've gone through every new movie on streaming this weekend to highlight the ones worth watching. My top picks this week include one of the best dinosaur movies in ages, Netflix's new Bollywood teen comedy that I can't wait to watch with some of my oldest friends, a Ryan Coogler classic on Paramount+, a psychological thriller that launched a horror phenomenon, and one of the "Fast & Furious" movies because why not. It's a slow week.

What to watch

  • ‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)
  • ‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)
  • 'Creed' (Paramount+)
  • ‘The Purge' (Prime Video)
  • 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (Hulu)

Read on to learn more about my top picks for what to watch this weekend among the new movies on streaming. While you're at it, be sure to check out our round-up of the best new TV shows on streaming this weekend too.

‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)

Finding a great dinosaur movie that 1) isn't animated and 2) doesn't have the words "Jurassic Park" in the title is a surprisingly difficult task. That’s what made “The End of Oak Street” such a pleasant surprise, with critics hailing it as the best dinosaur movie since Steven Spielberg’s ‘90s classic. "It's a chaotic adventure that knows exactly how to have fun," as my colleague Alix Blackburn wrote in our 4/5 star review: "an easy summer blockbuster to enjoy."

Set in the 1980s, the movie follows a Michigan suburb that’s suddenly transported millions of years into the past with some good ol' movie magic. With dinosaurs now roaming their streets, the Platt family — including a husband and wife played by Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway who are in the middle of a divorce — must put their differences aside if they want their family to make it out in one piece.

‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)

Netflix has had a streak of real stinkers lately, but "Best of the Best" looks like just the girl's night staple to fix that. Early reviews for this Bollywood teen comedy are positive, and it has all the ingredients to climb Netflix’s Top 10 chart this weekend.

“Best of the Best” may look like your typical college sports movie at first glance, but its subject matter immediately sets it apart. Instead of football or basketball, the movie dives into the world of competitive Bollywood-fusion dance. “Never Have I Ever” star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Priyanka Kedia play two best friends who join UCLA’s dance team with their sights set on winning the U.S. championships — if they can survive this cutthroat sport long enough to take home gold.

'Creed' (Paramount+)

Always happy to rewatch one of my favorite directors, and Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan's seminal sports drama "Creed" is on rotation in my household (though probably second after "Sinners"). This spin-off of the "Rocky" series exists within the same canon and sees Sylvester Stallone return in his iconic role as the underdog champ.

Stealing the show is Jordan as our next up-and-coming fighter to root for: Adonis "Donnie" Johnson, the illegitimate son of legendary heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. To prove he's worthy of the Creed name, he turns to former boxing great Rocky Balboa to get him into shape. Rocky and this next generation of Creed learn to rely on each other as Donnie prepares for the biggest opportunity of his career and a chance to forge his own legacy.

‘The Purge' (Prime Video)

Of all “The Purge” movies, the only one I genuinely recommend is the original. For all the theatrics that followed, 2013’s “The Purge” is a surprisingly grounded, single-location psychological thriller that keeps the tension high from start to finish. It also introduces a compelling moral dilemma that actually lands, unlike flimsier attempts in later installments.

A decade before Ethan Hawke delivered another terrifying performance in the equally excellent “The Black Phone," he played a terrified patriarch caught in the middle of the Purge, a night of bedlam when all crime — including murder — is legal until sunrise. The government-sanctioned event is supposedly designed as a pressure-release valve to create a more peaceful, orderly society for the rest of the year. But Hawke’s James Sandin makes one fatal mistake: He lets a wounded stranger into his home, drawing the attention of a bloodthirsty group of Purgers who will stop at nothing to get inside.

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (Hulu)

For years, "Hobbs & Shaw" was the only movie in the "Fast & Furious" franchise I'd seen. I finally watched the first (and best one) in 2022 after saying that previous sentence to my husband, who sat me down to rectify that horrible faux pas for boy movies. To be fair, now I understand what he was getting at: This is NOT your typical "Fast & Furious movie." For one thing, there's a cyborg played by Idris Elba.

Set after "The Fate of the Furious," this spin-off sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, stoic men with checkered pasts who team up with Deckard's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) to take down terrorist Brixton Lore (Elba). It leans far more toward a traditional action comedy than the mainline "Fast and Furious" movies, and that's likely why it's my second favorite in the franchise.

Another weekend is here, which means the question of what to watch is fresh on our mind. I'm not going to lie, not much debuted across the best streaming services this week, as we are hitting that middle of the month slump for new releases.

I've gone through every new movie on streaming this weekend to highlight the ones worth watching. My top picks this week include one of the best dinosaur movies in ages, Netflix's new Bollywood teen comedy that I can't wait to watch with some of my oldest friends, a Ryan Coogler classic on Paramount+, a psychological thriller that launched a horror phenomenon, and one of the "Fast & Furious" movies because why not. It's a slow week.

What to watch

  • ‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)
  • ‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)
  • 'Creed' (Paramount+)
  • ‘The Purge' (Prime Video)
  • 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (Hulu)

Read on to learn more about my top picks for what to watch this weekend among the new movies on streaming. While you're at it, be sure to check out our round-up of the best new TV shows on streaming this weekend too.

‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)

Finding a great dinosaur movie that 1) isn't animated and 2) doesn't have the words "Jurassic Park" in the title is a surprisingly difficult task. That’s what made “The End of Oak Street” such a pleasant surprise, with critics hailing it as the best dinosaur movie since Steven Spielberg’s ‘90s classic. "It's a chaotic adventure that knows exactly how to have fun," as my colleague Alix Blackburn wrote in our 4/5 star review: "an easy summer blockbuster to enjoy."

Set in the 1980s, the movie follows a Michigan suburb that’s suddenly transported millions of years into the past with some good ol' movie magic. With dinosaurs now roaming their streets, the Platt family — including a husband and wife played by Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway who are in the middle of a divorce — must put their differences aside if they want their family to make it out in one piece.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Sept. 18-20) ]]> 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 (or shows with new episodes) perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.

First up is the ABC crime drama "R.J. Decker" season 2, which just debuted on Hulu this week. Once you've watched that, catch up on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 18 and "Futurama" season 14, both of which are almost done with their respective 10-episode seasons.

So, without further ado, 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 September 2026.

'RJ Decker' season 2

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? “R.J. Decker" stars Scott Speedman as the titular character. He's a discredited Florida journalist turned private investigator, and he's dived into the weird criminal underworld of South Florida. That's put him in the path of Emi Ochoa (Jaina Lee Ortiz), who sent R.J. to prison on the orders of her father (David Zayas), whose death they're now investigating together.

Why you should watch it: The first season of this show was well-received by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences weren't too far behind. Just from the trailer for season 2 alone, it seems like it gets the tone of author Carl Hiaasen, whose 1987 novel "Double Whammy" this show is based on, pretty spot on. If you're looking for a new crime drama with a twisted sense of humor, stream "R.J. Decker" season 1 now, then check out the season 2 premiere, which dropped on Hulu earlier this week.

Watch the premiere of "R.J. Decker" season 2 on Hulu now

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' season 18

Genre: Situational comedy series

What's it about? The gang — Charlie, Mac, Dee and Dennis (Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton) — is back for another season of hijinks. This season, they've already gone to college and the Renaissance Faire, as well as planned a wedding and a funeral. This past week, they tried to get people back off the wagon and drink at Paddy's Pub, after noticing a rise in non-alcoholic beer consumption.

Why you should watch it: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is never a bad time, and if you've watched any of the past 17 seasons, you probably already knew that. But if for some reason you've never seen this show or are still on the fence, now's the time to give it a shot. Whether you start with season 18 or season 1, you'll have a good time..

Watch the first six episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 18 on Hulu now

'Futurama' season 14

Genre: Animated sci-fi sitcom series

What's it about? Set in the third millennium A.D., "Futurama" centers around a band of misfit humans, aliens, mutants and even a robot, masquerading as a delivery service. Don't expect many packages to make it to their destinations, though. This show is all about the hijinks and some clever zingers.

Why you should watch it: "Futurama" is one of the best animated sitcoms of this millennium, and it's rare that it doesn't score several big laughs in an episode. I won't pretend that recent seasons are as good as the older episodes before the switch to Hulu, but at least you can always go back and stream the old seasons once you've caught up on season 14.

Watch the first eight episodes of "Futurama" season 14 on Hulu now

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (Sept. 18-20) ]]> Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

First up, let's go with a blockbuster: "Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw." This Fast Saga spinoff stars Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson as the titular characters and while it's not "Citizen Kane," it's a fun movie to watch. Once you're done with that one, check out "100 Nights of Hero," a fantasy romance adaptation of a graphic novel with a fairly impressive cast. Finally, I'm recommending "Heretic" for the second week in a row, because I think Hugh Grant's performance is that much of a must-watch.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026.

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (2019)

Genre: Action-comedy movie

What's it about? Set after "The Fate of the Furious," this movie sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. In this spin-off adventure, they're teaming up with Deckard's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) to take down terrorist Brixton Lore (Elba)

Why you need to watch it: This is a "Fast" movie. So, contractually, they're obligated to have cars. But this is far more a traditional action comedy than the vehicular action set-piece symphonies that make up the mainline "Fast and Furious" movies. That said, it's still a fun romp of a movie.

Watch "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" on Hulu now

'100 Nights of Hero' (2025)

Genre: Fantasy romance movie

What's it about? "100 Nights of Hero" is adapted from the Isabel Greenberg graphic novel of the same name. It's centered around Cherry (Maika Monroe), whose husband, Jerome (Amir El-Masry), leaves her alone with his seductive friend, Manfred (Nicholas Galitzine). If he can seduce her, he wins Jerome's castle and everything within. But Cherry is focused on another deadline: if she can't get pregnant in 100 days, she'll be put to death.

Why you should watch it: This movie may seem to be about Cherry's relationships with these two men, but it's not. It's really about her relationship with Hero, her maid, played by the excellent Emma Corrin. The trailer didn't quite speak to me, but this cast list certainly does. So it's worth checking out if you like a romance movie.

'Heretic' (2024)

Genre: Psychological horror movie

What's it about? Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East star in "Heretic" as two Mormon missionaries. They think they've hit the jackpot when they arrive at the home of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). But while he initially expresses interest in their faith, he reveals he's really there to test it. Because he thinks he's already found god, and it's not their god.

Why you need to watch it: I love Hugh Grant's performance in "Heretic." He's an incredible horror villain, and while the movie doesn't quite stick the landing, the journey is more than worth watching it.

Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

First up, let's go with a blockbuster: "Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw." This Fast Saga spinoff stars Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson as the titular characters and while it's not "Citizen Kane," it's a fun movie to watch. Once you're done with that one, check out "100 Nights of Hero," a fantasy romance adaptation of a graphic novel with a fairly impressive cast. Finally, I'm recommending "Heretic" for the second week in a row, because I think Hugh Grant's performance is that much of a must-watch.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026.

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (2019)

Genre: Action-comedy movie

What's it about? Set after "The Fate of the Furious," this movie sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. In this spin-off adventure, they're teaming up with Deckard's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) to take down terrorist Brixton Lore (Elba)

Why you need to watch it: This is a "Fast" movie. So, contractually, they're obligated to have cars. But this is far more a traditional action comedy than the vehicular action set-piece symphonies that make up the mainline "Fast and Furious" movies. That said, it's still a fun romp of a movie.

Watch "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" on Hulu now

'100 Nights of Hero' (2025)

Genre: Fantasy romance movie

What's it about? "100 Nights of Hero" is adapted from the Isabel Greenberg graphic novel of the same name. It's centered around Cherry (Maika Monroe), whose husband, Jerome (Amir El-Masry), leaves her alone with his seductive friend, Manfred (Nicholas Galitzine). If he can seduce her, he wins Jerome's castle and everything within. But Cherry is focused on another deadline: if she can't get pregnant in 100 days, she'll be put to death.

Why you should watch it: This movie may seem to be about Cherry's relationships with these two men, but it's not. It's really about her relationship with Hero, her maid, played by the excellent Emma Corrin. The trailer didn't quite speak to me, but this cast list certainly does. So it's worth checking out if you like a romance movie.

'Heretic' (2024)

Genre: Psychological horror movie

What's it about? Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East star in "Heretic" as two Mormon missionaries. They think they've hit the jackpot when they arrive at the home of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). But while he initially expresses interest in their faith, he reveals he's really there to test it. Because he thinks he's already found god, and it's not their god.

Why you need to watch it: I love Hugh Grant's performance in "Heretic." He's an incredible horror villain, and while the movie doesn't quite stick the landing, the journey is more than worth watching it.

"Dancing with the Stars" S35 premieres on Tuesday, September 15 on ABC in the U.S..

"The Rookie" star Jenna Dewan started out as a backing dancer for Janet Jackson before finding fame through "Step Up" and "Take the Lead", and "Glee" favorite Harry Shum Jr. starred in that iPod ad and once toured with Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott. Both deeply impressive CVs.

Julia Stiles could be dark horse, because you'd suspect that the "10 Things I Hate About You" star-turned-director wouldn't willingly make a fool of herself on national television. The reunion between Tatyana Ali and her erstwhile "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star Alfonso Ribeiro should be fun, the duo having played siblings Ashley and Carlton Banks on the cult sitcom.

There are 16 couples in all, while Ribeiro and Julianne Hough are once again on presenting duty, with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli judging. There are a couple of new and returning faces, however, in Adele Zaikman (winner of the inaugural season of "Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro"), and Sharna Burgess, who stepped away in 2021.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Sept. 11-13) ]]> 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 (or shows with new episodes) perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.

First up is "The Drop: A Snowfall Saga." This spin-off of the hit series "Snowfall" brings back show stars Gail Bean and Isaiah John for another Los Angeles story, and it just had its series premiere this week. Once you've watched that, you can now binge all 21 episodes of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" season 27, as well as every episode from the previous 26 seasons. Finally, "Chad Powers" season 2 dropped on Hulu last week, so if you haven't seen it already, start streaming it now.

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 September 2026.

'The Drop: A Snowfall Saga'

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga” centers on “Snowfall” characters Wanda Bell (Gail Bean) and Leon Simmons (Isaiah John). These were more peripheral characters in the original series, but this time they get top billing as they fight to reinvent themselves in 90s Los Angeles and the rise of West Coast rap.

Why you should watch it: There aren't a ton of reviews in yet, but so far "The Drop" has a perfect 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The original series also often received high praise and was notable for telling the stories of Los Angeles from a different perspective. It seems like "The Drop" is more of the same.

Watch the series premiere of "The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" on Hulu now

'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit' season 27

Genre: Police procedural crime drama series

What's it about? "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."

Why you should watch it: Look, I don't need to convince you to watch "Law and Order: SVU." I don't need to sell you Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T and a special cameo appearance by Christopher Meloni in the season 27 premiere. My job is simply to inform you that, if you have Hulu, you have the ability to stream all 594 episodes of "SVU" that have been released to date.

Watch "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" season 27 on Hulu now

'Chad Powers' season 2

Genre: Sports comedy series

What it's about: "Chad Powers" is based on Eli Manning's character of the same name from the documentary series "Eli's Places." This time around, it's movie star Glenn Powell playing former college football quarterback Russ Holliday, aka Chad Powers. See, Russ became persona non grata after a championship game gone wrong. So, he's adopted the persona of Chad (complete with wigs and prosthetics) to go incognito at a new, smaller school and get one last shot at glory.

Why you should watch it: While critics weren't so kind to "Chad Powers" season 1, season 2 is doing far better. It's currently rated 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences scoring it just a bit higher at 93%. Binge the whole second season right now.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (Sept. 11-13) ]]> Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

This weekend, I'm starting with a pair of A24 movies. "Heretic" is a creepy horror movie with a killer Hugh Grant performance. But it might not be as eerie as "The Green Knight," though making a weird movie is nothing new for director David Lowery, as those who saw "Mother Mary" this year can attest. Finally, give "Together Together" a watch this weekend. It's a quirky comedy-drama that borders on rom-com and got rave reviews from fans and critics alike when it came out earlier this decade.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026.

'Heretic' (2024)

Genre: Psychological horror movie

What's it about? "Heretic" stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as two Mormon missionaries who think they've hit the jackpot when they arrive at the home of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). He initially expresses interest in their faith, only to reveal he's really interested in questioning it. Because he thinks he's already found god.

Why you need to watch it: I love this movie. Or, more accurately, I love Hugh Grant's performance in it. He's an incredible horror villain, despite only using his words and a locked door as his weapons of choice for most of the film. The movie doesn't quite stick the landing, but the journey is more than worth it.

Watch "Heretic" on Hulu now

'The Green Knight' (2021)

Genre: Dark fantasy adventure movie

What's it about? "The Green Knight" is adapted from the 14th-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." In this tale, Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) answers the challenge of the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson) and takes the mysterious figure's head with Excalibur. But to his surprise, the Knight rises, grabs his severed head and declares that Gawain must now meet him in a year's time to receive the same blow in return.

Why you need to watch it: This movie is trippy. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it involves a seriously intense encounter with Joel Edgerton. But it's undeniably beautifully crafted. So if you've never seen "The Green Knight" before, now is your chance.

Watch "The Dark Knight" on Hulu now

'Together Together' (2021)

Genre: Comedy-drama movie

What's it about? "Together Together" stars Ed Helms as Matt. He's in his forties and decidedly alone, so he hires Anna (Patti Harrison) to be the surrogate who carries his child. It's a strictly transactional relationship, but one that becomes complicated as the two find themselves unable to stop becoming friends with each other.

Why you should watch it: This movie flirts with being a rom-com just enough to build some tension, but never fully commits itself to romance. This film is, at its core, about platonic friendship instead. Just, in this instance, the platonic friends are having a child together.

]]> <![CDATA[ How to watch 'Made in Korea' season 2 online — stream the Hyun Bin political thriller from anywhere ]]> "Made in Korea" returns with season 2, as Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin) has risen through the ranks of the KCIA and expanded his drug operations, but Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung) hasn't given up the ghost yet. The former prosecutor has had nine years to plot his revenge, key to which is Ki-tae's younger brother, Baek Ki-hyun (Woo Do-hwan).

Here's how to watch “Made in Korea" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.

'Made in Korea' S2 date & streaming info

"Made in Korea" S2 premieres on Wednesday, September 9 on Hulu in the U.S.
• U.S. — Stream on Hulu
• International — Disney+
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

Ki-hyun is no longer the impressionable kid at Ki-tae's beck and call. While his wealth and status have made the now-deputy director of the KCIA almost untouchable, Ki-hyun has been hardened by his experiences in the military, which have helped him forge his own moral values and gain considerable clout.

What ensues is a symbolic battle for the soul of the nation, recast as a political noir interrogating greed and social responsibility. For Ki-hyun, turning on Ki-tae is the hard choice but ultimately the right one, especially as his older brother is fully prepared to "cross the Han River" in the manner of Julius Caesar marching an army over the Rubicon in an act of civil war.

That "Made in Korea" S2 is set in 1979 is no accident, either. Although the show features fictional characters, it's informed by the political turmoil of the time — and this particular year ended with a military coup, following the assassination of president Park Chung-hee.

]]> <![CDATA[ How to watch 'The Drop: A Snowfall Saga' online — stream the crime drama spinoff from anywhere ]]> Wanda's arc goes from the sublime to the ridiculous in “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga", a "Snowfall" spinoff that jettisons dope for West Coast rap. Only, the "new gold rush", as Wanda describes it, turns out to be a far cry from the clean path she'd envisaged going in.

Here's how to watch “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" online from anywhere with a VPN.

'The Drop: A Snowfall Saga' date & streaming info

"The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" premieres on Tuesday, September 8 on FX and Hulu in the U.S.
• Stream — Hulu
• International — Disney+
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

“The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" picks up in '90s LA, shortly after the events of the mother series, a subplot of which saw Wanda descend into and then recover from a harrowing crack cocaine addiction effectively enough to hold down a steady job working for Franklin.

It was a bruising arc that was as heartening as it was grounded, so to see her now as a highly-polished prospective music mogul at the very forefront of rap's journey into the mainstream requires a leap of the imagination. In addition to providing a semblance of continuity, however, it makes for a mouthwatering new venture.

Her cousin Lamar has a gift that gets her noticed, but Wanda can't resist the allure of talented but combustible local rapper Artillery, a move that blurs the lines between music and gang warfare. Notoriety may be good for business, but it places Lamar and Leon firmly in the crossfire.

]]> <![CDATA[ 7 top new movies to watch this week on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and more — including an action-thriller with Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal (Sept. 8-14) ]]> It’s set to be another busy week for new movies across the best streaming services. Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and Starz have fresh flicks for subscribers to enjoy, while a trio of options arrives on premium streaming. Whatever your tastes, there’s sure to be a movie for you.

I suspect this week’s most popular new movie will be Tyler Perry’s latest project on Netflix, which sees him return to his 2000s comedy-drama series, “Why Did I Get Married?” Meanwhile, HBO Max adds “Supergirl” to its library, and Hulu has a dark thriller from the director of “The Platform.” On PVOD, there’s a Disney remake, a Jason Statham action movie and a rom-com the internet dubbed “‘The Purge’ but for sex” over the summer.

There are plenty of new options to consider this week, so I’m highlighting the most noteworthy new arrivals to help you spend more time watching movies and less time scrolling through streaming service libraries. And we’ve also got a guide to the top new TV shows this week, too.

‘Moana’ (PVOD)

Disney’s latest live-action remake was perhaps its most unnecessary yet. The original animated “Moana” is just a decade old, with a sequel landing in 2024. There hasn’t been enough time yet for audiences to get nostalgic about Moana, and the movie’s poor box office takings appear to reinforce that idea. It grossed $315 million, which sounds like a lot, but with a $250 million budget, it’s not even close to profitable. Maybe it’ll swim on digital?

If you’ve seen the original “Moana,” you know the deal here; this family-friendly adventure follows the eponymous heroine (Catherine Laga'aia) as she embarks on an ocean odyssey to save her island from a curse. She’s joined on her quest by demi-goal Maui (Dwayne Johnson, reprising his role from the original). The foundations are still solid, but in a world where the animated “Moana” exists, there’s little need for this live-action adaptation.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting September 8

‘Mutiny’ (PVOD)

The rollout of Jason Statham’s new action-thriller “Mutiny” was noteworthy because Amazon accidentally leaked the movie by putting it up on Prime Video for several hours. It was eventually removed, and now it’s heading to streaming in an official capacity. “Mutiny” offers viewers exactly what you’d expect from a Statham-led action movie. The British actor plays a former military man, now working as a bodyguard, drawn into a criminal conspiracy.

In “Muntiny,” Cole Reed (Statham) must spring into action when his billionaire boss is murdered, and he’s framed for the crime. Stowing away on a cargo ship, he uncovers a criminal plot and must bring down those responsible, while also clearing his name. The boat setting adds a degree of novelty (fortunately it’s better than “Speed 2”), but otherwise "Mutiny" is a very predictable and unambitious action-thriller with Statham largely going through the motions.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting September 8

‘One Night Only’ (PVOD)

“One Night Only” made a lot of waves online thanks to its high-concept premise. This romantic comedy is set in a world in which the United States government has outlawed premarital sex. But to avoid public backlash, for one night a year, during a 12-hour window, sex is permitted. The internet dubbed this “‘The Purge’ but for sex,” and it’s certainly a kooky idea for a movie. However, beyond the novel setup, this is a very cliché rom-com.

Callum Turner plays Owen, an NYC pizza shop owner, who is dumped by his girlfriend just as the 12-hour window begins. At the same time, Allie (Monica Barbaro) is across town, looking for a meaningful connection on a night where everybody wants to hook up. Naturally, their paths cross, sparks fly, and you can probably guess where it goes from here. Turner’s leading man credentials are unconvincing, but Barbao has effortless charm.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting September 8

‘Why Did I Get Married Again?’ (Netflix)

Tyler Perry is one of Netflix’s most dependable collaborators. His popular Madea character and spin-offs like "Joe’s College Road Trip,” which hit Netflix in February, always go down a treat with subscribers. However, Perry’s latest Netflix project doesn’t feature the loud-mouthed aunt; instead he’s returning to his 2007 comedy-drama “Why Did I Get Married?” for a long-awaited second sequel, “Why Did I Get Married Again?”

Following on from 2010’s “Why Did I Get Married Too?,” this revival again explores long-term relationships, and the various hurdles faced once a couple becomes husband and wife. Several original cast members return, including Perry, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Michael Jai White and Tash Smith, though Janet Jackson is absent this time. Critics were never hot on this franchise, but Perry has a strong track record of appealing to viewers.

Watch Netflix on September 9

‘Supergirl’ (HBO Max)

The second feature film in James Gunn’s new DC Universe was an outright box office bomb, grossing $126 million against an estimated budget of $170-180 million. But the hope will be that Supergirl can take flight on HBO Max. While I didn’t find “Supergirl” worthy of a cinema trip, it’s far from the worst comic-book movie released in recent years. Milly Alcock is excellent as the titular hero, and it’s perhaps worth watching ahead of “Man of Tomorrow” landing in theaters next summer. Alcock’s Kara Zor-El is confirmed to appear in the "Superman" sequel.

Based on the fan-favorite “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” comic book, Kara Zor-El hasn’t taken to being a world-saving hero like her cousin Clark Kent (aka Superman). Instead, Supergirl spends her days aimlessly wandering between planets and visiting dive bars. But she’s forced to adopt the hero lifestyle when a ruthless villain emerges. She teams up with a young survivor (Eve Ridley) to dish out some justice and save her fan-favorite dog, Krypto.

Watch HBO Max on September 10

‘Rich Flu’ (Hulu)

Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, director of Netflix’s “The Platform,” delivers another thriller that explores class divide, but this time it’s the 1% under the spotlight. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rafe Spall, and while the reviews have been mixed (it’s currently rated 50% on Rotten Tomatoes), I’m always willing to check out a movie with satirical bite.

Laura (Elizabeth Winstead) is reaching a career peak when a mysterious virus emerges. This disease selectively targets the ultra-wealthy. Overnight, having wealth becomes a death sentence, which leads the most well-off in society to desperately try to give away their vast fortunes to avoid their demise. With the virus making its way down the wealth ladder, Laura embarks on a desperate journey across the globe to save her family.

Watch Hulu on September 11

‘In the Grey’ (Starz)

Starz doesn’t always get the same level of attention as the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and the rest of the biggest streamers, but this week it’ll hope to get its share of the spotlight as it drops a new movie, “In the Grey.” This action-thriller has quite the cast, including Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza Gonzalez and Rosamund Pike, and it comes from writer/director Guy Ritchie. So there’s lots of talent in front of and behind the camera.

Rachel Wild (Gonzalez) works in debt recovery for various powerful clients, employing two clandestine operatives, Sid (Cavill) and Bronco (Gyllenhaal), to pressure targets to repay. But the team faces its toughest mission yet when they are assigned to retrieve a stolen billion-dollar fortune. What begins as an impossible heist becomes even more complex as the delicate situation spirals into a cutthroat war of strategy, deception and survival with a ruthless tyrant (Carlos Bardem) pulling the strings.

It was eventually removed, and now it’s heading to streaming in an official capacity. “Mutiny” offers viewers exactly what you’d expect from a Statham-led action movie. The British actor plays a former military man, now working as a bodyguard, drawn into a criminal conspiracy.

In “Muntiny,” Cole Reed (Statham) must spring into action when his billionaire boss is murdered, and he’s framed for the crime. Stowing away on a cargo ship, he uncovers a criminal plot and must bring down those responsible, while also clearing his name. The boat setting adds a degree of novelty (fortunately it’s better than “Speed 2”), but otherwise "Mutiny" is a very predictable and unambitious action-thriller with Statham largely going through the motions.

‘One Night Only’ (PVOD)

“One Night Only” made a lot of waves online thanks to its high-concept premise. This romantic comedy is set in a world in which the United States government has outlawed premarital sex. But to avoid public backlash, for one night a year, during a 12-hour window, sex is permitted. The internet dubbed this “‘The Purge’ but for sex,” and it’s certainly a kooky idea for a movie. However, beyond the novel setup, this is a very cliché rom-com.

Callum Turner plays Owen, an NYC pizza shop owner, who is dumped by his girlfriend just as the 12-hour window begins. At the same time, Allie (Monica Barbaro) is across town, looking for a meaningful connection on a night where everybody wants to hook up. Naturally, their paths cross, sparks fly, and you can probably guess where it goes from here. Turner’s leading man credentials are unconvincing, but Barbao has effortless charm.

‘Why Did I Get Married Again?’ (Netflix)

Tyler Perry is one of Netflix’s most dependable collaborators. His popular Madea character and spin-offs like "Joe’s College Road Trip,” which hit Netflix in February, always go down a treat with subscribers. However, Perry’s latest Netflix project doesn’t feature the loud-mouthed aunt; instead he’s returning to his 2007 comedy-drama “Why Did I Get Married?” for a long-awaited second sequel, “Why Did I Get Married Again?”

Following on from 2010’s “Why Did I Get Married Too?,” this revival again explores long-term relationships, and the various hurdles faced once a couple becomes husband and wife. Several original cast members return, including Perry, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Michael Jai White and Tash Smith, though Janet Jackson is absent this time. Critics were never hot on this franchise, but Perry has a strong track record of appealing to viewers.

‘Supergirl’ (HBO Max)

The second feature film in James Gunn’s new DC Universe was an outright box office bomb, grossing $126 million against an estimated budget of $170-180 million. But the hope will be that Supergirl can take flight on HBO Max. While I didn’t find “Supergirl” worthy of a cinema trip, it’s far from the worst comic-book movie released in recent years. Milly Alcock is excellent as the titular hero, and it’s perhaps worth watching ahead of “Man of Tomorrow” landing in theaters next summer. Alcock’s Kara Zor-El is confirmed to appear in the "Superman" sequel.

Based on the fan-favorite “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” comic book, Kara Zor-El hasn’t taken to being a world-saving hero like her cousin Clark Kent (aka Superman). Instead, Supergirl spends her days aimlessly wandering between planets and visiting dive bars. But she’s forced to adopt the hero lifestyle when a ruthless villain emerges. She teams up with a young survivor (Eve Ridley) to dish out some justice and save her fan-favorite dog, Krypto.

‘Rich Flu’ (Hulu)

Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, director of Netflix’s “The Platform,” delivers another thriller that explores class divide, but this time it’s the 1% under the spotlight. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rafe Spall, and while the reviews have been mixed (it’s currently rated 50% on Rotten Tomatoes), I’m always willing to check out a movie with satirical bite.

Laura (Elizabeth Winstead) is reaching a career peak when a mysterious virus emerges. This disease selectively targets the ultra-wealthy. Overnight, having wealth becomes a death sentence, which leads the most well-off in society to desperately try to give away their vast fortunes to avoid their demise. With the virus making its way down the wealth ladder, Laura embarks on a desperate journey across the globe to save her family.

‘In the Grey’ (Starz)

Starz doesn’t always get the same level of attention as the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and the rest of the biggest streamers, but this week it’ll hope to get its share of the spotlight as it drops a new movie, “In the Grey.” This action-thriller has quite the cast, including Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza Gonzalez and Rosamund Pike, and it comes from writer/director Guy Ritchie. So there’s lots of talent in front of and behind the camera.

Rachel Wild (Gonzalez) works in debt recovery for various powerful clients, employing two clandestine operatives, Sid (Cavill) and Bronco (Gyllenhaal), to pressure targets to repay. But the team faces its toughest mission yet when they are assigned to retrieve a stolen billion-dollar fortune. What begins as an impossible heist becomes even more complex as the delicate situation spirals into a cutthroat war of strategy, deception and survival with a ruthless tyrant (Carlos Bardem) pulling the strings.

]]> <![CDATA[ Everyone hated this disaster thriller when it came out. They were wrong ]]> I'm a sucker for a disaster flick. Admittedly, these films get notoriously bad ratings from audiences and poor reviews from critics. But I can't resist a movie where the wildest weather-based problems slam into our little blue-and-green planet, causing absolute chaos — with the solution to save us all discovered by just a handful of people. The high stakes and overdone special effects make these films the ultimate popcorn flick experience.

One of my absolute favorites in the genre is "2012." Released in 2009, the movie spotlights a single family struggling to find safety as the world literally collapses around them. Directed by disaster-movie master Roland Emmerich (also known for "The Day After Tomorrow"), the film balances destruction with a generous dose of camp.

Starring John Cusack and Amanda Peet, this movie reaches peak popcorn-flick status by leaning into its sheer scale. It delivers maximum spectacle, high-octane thrills and standard apocalyptic tropes turned up to 11. And you can take it all in right now on Hulu.

What is '2012' about?

The film opens in India, where scientist Dr. Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) learns from fellow researcher Satnam Tsurutani (Jimi Mistry) that massive solar flares are unleashing rare neutrinos that heat up the Earth's core. Adrian rushes back to Washington, D.C., to convince White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt) that a massive geological emergency is underway. Soon, President Thomas Wilson (Danny Glover) secretly convenes world leaders to build massive escape arks, selling seats to the ultra-wealthy for millions while keeping the public completely in the dark.

Fast-forward to the year 2012: Struggling writer Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) heads out on a camping trip to Yellowstone with his kids, Lilly and Noah. Finding the park cordoned off by the military, Jackson briefly encounters Dr. Helmsley before running into Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), an eccentric conspiracy theorist running a wild radio show. Charlie reveals the secret plot by world leaders to flee on hidden arks, a theory that sounds totally insane until a catastrophic earthquake strikes, proving him terrifyingly correct.

Jackson races home, gathers his kids, his ex-wife Kate (Amanda Peet), and her new husband, Gordon (Tom McCarthy), and makes a mad dash for an airplane. As highways, skyscrapers, and entire cities collapse around them, the film's jaw-dropping special effects take off. From there, Jackson is determined to navigate the armageddon to keep his family alive, leaving one big question: How can an ordinary family secure a spot on escape arks built strictly for the world's elite?

Why I recommend you stream '2012'

Everything about "2012" is gloriously over the top. Emmerich manages to squeeze virtually every imaginable natural disaster into a single runtime, unleashing catastrophic volcanoes, towering tsunamis, and world-splitting earthquakes. The special effects render the sheer scale of the destruction in shockingly vivid detail.

The performances hold up surprisingly well against the ridiculous premise and far-fetched science. John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and the young actors perfectly capture how ordinary people would react to total cataclysm. Cusack has always excelled at playing an everyday guy thrown into extraordinary circumstances, and he brings that signature grounded charm here.

The shifting perspectives also keep the hefty two-and-a-half-hour runtime moving at a breakneck pace. High-level political drama is constantly juxtaposed with visually stunning sequences of iconic landmarks across Europe and the United States being completely leveled. Danny Glover is exceptionally grounded as President Wilson, bringing genuine gravity and warmth to a leader who refuses to abandon his people.

Despite its length, "2012" is well worth the ride if you love disaster cinema or simply want a big-budget movie where you can turn your brain off and enjoy the spectacle. It’s no more far-fetched than your average blockbuster action or sci-fi film. If you're the type of viewer who insists on strict scientific accuracy, you might find yourself rolling your eyes. But if you don't mind the laws of physics being stretched for pure, unadulterated entertainment, this is one blockbuster you shouldn't miss.

]]> <![CDATA[ Streaming Service Report Card 2026: We graded Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, HBO Max and more — here's the winner ]]> This week, we’ve handed out report cards for the platforms in our best streaming services guide: Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+/Hulu, Paramount+, Apple TV and Peacock.

The Tom’s Guide streaming team uses these platforms every day to recommend the latest movies and TV shows on each to our readers. Our goal with these report cards was to grade each over the past 12 months in key areas including price, library, originals, live content and more.

Now that each has received its report card and overall grade, there’s only one thing left to do: compare the results and determine which streaming service is most worthy of your monthly subscription in 2026.

*On August 29, Apple TV announced its latest price hike, increasing a monthly subscription to $14.99. Our report card grade is based on its previous $12.99 price.

The cost of streaming has become a major talking point recently. We held a Tom’s Guide streaming survey in June, which found that more than 35% of respondents pay more than $60 each month on streaming. Wasn’t streaming supposed to be cheaper than cable?

Price hikes have been a regular occurrence. In fact, Apple TV increased its monthly cost (from $12.99 to $14.99) just as we began publishing our report cards. But it’s far from alone; in the past 12 months, every single streaming service we graded has increased prices.

As of now, barring any more sudden hikes, the cheapest tier is found on Peacock. Its Select plan costs just $7.99 but comes with some major caveats like no sports, movies, or originals. The most expensive is, perhaps predictably, Netflix’s Premium tier at $26.99 per month.

In the past 12 months, every single streaming service we graded has increased prices.

The highest scorers in this category were Prime Video, largely because most people get it as part of an Amazon Prime membership, and Disney+/Hulu, which offers the most choice (either separate or bundled), with two robust services for $12.99, or $19.99 without ads.

Also, a quick shoutout to Apple TV. Yes, it’s just increased its price, but we appreciate that it offers a single tier, so there’s no confusion about what you have access to. It’s just one cost for everything Apple TV has to offer, which feels refreshing compared to its streaming rivals.

Library

Our library category takes a bird's-eye view of everything found on each streaming service. That’s movies and shows, including both licensed content and original efforts. Next to price, this is arguably the key category for most people to consider when signing up for a streaming platform.

HBO came out on top because it offers a selection of world-class television and blockbuster movies via Warner Bros and A24. Disney+/Hulu was also in the running. After all, the combo of two bundled services is hard to beat. Disney+ covers the family (and Marvel/Star Wars nerds), and Hulu has plenty for adults. It’s a platform that really has something for everybody.

This is arguably the key category for most people to consider when signing up for a streaming platform.

Netflix’s library is solid, but it has lost so much licensed content over the years as seemingly every media conglomerate has launched its own rival platform. Apple TV has great originals, but lacks much else. And while Prime Video has quantity down, its library is overstuffed with the sorts of movies that you would have previously seen in the $1 DVD bin at Walmart.

Paramount+ lacks major movie franchises, and beyond “Yellowstone,” few new TV shows that generate much buzz, and Peacock has NBCUniversal's vault to draw from. This is a rich well with beloved sitcoms like “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “30 Rock.” Plus, it gets Universal movies, so as long as you don’t mind the Minions, that’s another advantage.

Originals

Originals are a big part of what keeps you subscribed to a streaming service long-term. If a platform isn’t adding a consistent stream of stuff you want to watch, why stick around?

Netflix dominates this field, releasing more originals than its rivals, and producing shows that catch the zeitgeist, like “Stranger Things,” “Squid Game” and “Wednesday.” But it receives the lowest grade here, with the average quality level often being very poor over the past 12 months. Netflix original movies have a deserved reputation for being mostly skippable.

HBO Max and Apple TV are the two standouts; both deliver some of the finest original television shows around. HBO is known for regularly dropping essential series, but Apple TV is really giving it some competition, and its commitment to variety hasn’t gone unnoticed.

HBO Max and Apple TV are the two standouts; both deliver some of the finest original television shows around.

Disney+ ensures Marvel and Star Wars fans are never lacking for anything to watch between theatrical releases, but Hulu deserves some recognition as well, for originals like “Alien: Earth,” “Only Murders in the Building” season 5, “The Shards,” and “Paradise” season 2 over the past year.

Prime Video is also starting to find a niche in buzzy teen dramas like "Off Campus," "The Summer I Turned Pretty," and “Sterling Point.” Meanwhile, Peacock is basically a required subscription for anybody who takes reality TV seriously. After all, it is the streaming home of “The Traitors.” Finally, Paramount+ has had a poor 12 months, unless you’re a “South Park” fan.

Interface

To be frank, every streaming service has an interface that is only tolerable at best. There’s a reason the highest grade we awarded in this category was Apple TV with a passable B. Each has quirks and annoyances that you have to deal with. There’s no truly great interface out there.

They pretty much all take the same fundamental form, rows of movies/shows presented in a “tile” format, so there’s not a huge degree of difference between them. It really comes down to the individual pain points of each platform, because some are easier to tolerate than others

Every streaming service has an interface that is only tolerable at best.

Prime Video and Paramount+ ranked last. Amazon’s streamer is disorganized and presents you with PVOD content and add-on channel packages that you have to purchase separately. There’s nothing worse than seeing a movie you really want to watch on Prime Video, only to be frustrated when you discover it’s not on Prime Video and must be rented.

Paramount+ is similarly unintuitive to navigate, and, if I can offer a personal anecdote, I’ve faced a persistent problem with the mobile app. The season select button doesn’t work. So, I can watch season 1 of a show or nothing. And a quick web search tells me others have faced the same problem.

Also, and this goes for all the streaming services graded, we’re in an era where A.I. is getting ever smarter (and probably coming for our jobs), yet none of these platforms can implement a recommendation algorithm that reliably surfaces content similar to what you’ve watched. Do better!

Live Content

Live content is an area that most major streaming services are rapidly expanding. It makes sense. For millions, live content (typically live sports) is the only reason they still watch traditional broadcast television, so it’s an area that holds plenty of value for viewers.

Looking at the past 12 months, Peacock wins in the live sports arena by a landslide. It was the home of the 2026 Winter Olympics and had Spanish-language broadcasts of the recent World Cup 2026. Beyond these special events (Which only come around every four years), it’s home to Sunday Night Football, NBA and WNBA games, and Premier League soccer.

Prime Video has been making impressive moves in this area with Thursday Night Football and NBA and WNBA games. Netflix is making similar waves with “WWE Raw,” select NFL games, boxing and its first-ever live MLB events in 2026. Apple TV isn’t getting left behind with MLS a major part of the service, and most importantly, comprehensive Formula 1 coverage.

Peacock wins in the live sports arena by a landslide

HBO Max has 72 regular-season NHL games per year and the Stanley Cup Final, but no NFL or NBA (WB’s deal with the NBA concluded after the 2024-25 season), which hurts its grade. While Disney+/Hulu blocks most of its sports behind an ESPN-shaped paywall.

The other big winner here is Paramount+, which competes with Peacock, thanks to the NFL, UFC, UEFA Champions League, Serie A, Carabao Cup and even some college football. If you have Paramount+ Premium, you also get some PGA Tour events and WNBA games.

Outside of sports, Hulu has the annual Academy Awards (but even as an Oscar nut, I know this is hardly a major draw), and Netflix has experimented with special broadcasts, such as “Skyscraper Live” back in January. These are nice extras, but for most subscribers, when we talk about live content, it’s all about sports, sports, sports.

Note: This is just an evaluation of the live programming on offer in the U.S. Live programming varies by market.

Overall Grades

If you can only subscribe to one streaming service in 2026, we’d suggest HBO Max. While it didn’t receive the highest grade in every single category, overall it offers a practically unrivaled library, several original shows worth sticking around for, and a few live sporting events of note.

Netflix will presumably always be the most popular choice, and it scores respectable, even if its original movie output is disappointing.

Disney+/Hulu offers great value, and a breadth of content that will keep the whole family entertained. Apple TV puts quality over quantity, and there’s merit in that approach. Peacock is often neglected but might be worth considering, though its grade this time is significantly helped by major events (Olympics/World Cup) that aren’t annual.

Overall, there is no perfect streaming service. Each platform has its strengths and areas for improvement.

Paramount+ and Prime Video round out the report card, two services that have plus points, but just as many caveats. Hopefully, over the next 12 months, they can beef up their original lineup and come back swinging, ready to take on the pack we’ve graded above them in 2027.

Overall, there is no perfect streaming service. Each platform has its strengths and areas for improvement. Subscribing to 2-3 is perhaps the best way to get most of what appeals to you. However, returning to our survey results, nearly 30% of respondents subscribe to 7 or more platforms, which definitely seems excessive. My advice: you should cancel a few.

We’re already beginning to evaluate each of these streaming services for our next series of streaming service report cards in 2027, so watch this space; the winners and losers could change.

Paramount+ is similarly unintuitive to navigate, and, if I can offer a personal anecdote, I’ve faced a persistent problem with the mobile app. The season select button doesn’t work. So, I can watch season 1 of a show or nothing. And a quick web search tells me others have faced the same problem.

Also, and this goes for all the streaming services graded, we’re in an era where A.I. is getting ever smarter (and probably coming for our jobs), yet none of these platforms can implement a recommendation algorithm that reliably surfaces content similar to what you’ve watched. Do better!

Live Content

Live content is an area that most major streaming services are rapidly expanding. It makes sense. For millions, live content (typically live sports) is the only reason they still watch traditional broadcast television, so it’s an area that holds plenty of value for viewers.

Looking at the past 12 months, Peacock wins in the live sports arena by a landslide. It was the home of the 2026 Winter Olympics and had Spanish-language broadcasts of the recent World Cup 2026. Beyond these special events (Which only come around every four years), it’s home to Sunday Night Football, NBA and WNBA games, and Premier League soccer.

Prime Video has been making impressive moves in this area with Thursday Night Football and NBA and WNBA games. Netflix is making similar waves with “WWE Raw,” select NFL games, boxing and its first-ever live MLB events in 2026. Apple TV isn’t getting left behind with MLS a major part of the service, and most importantly, comprehensive Formula 1 coverage.

Peacock wins in the live sports arena by a landslide

HBO Max has 72 regular-season NHL games per year and the Stanley Cup Final, but no NFL or NBA (WB’s deal with the NBA concluded after the 2024-25 season), which hurts its grade. While Disney+/Hulu blocks most of its sports behind an ESPN-shaped paywall.

The other big winner here is Paramount+, which competes with Peacock, thanks to the NFL, UFC, UEFA Champions League, Serie A, Carabao Cup and even some college football. If you have Paramount+ Premium, you also get some PGA Tour events and WNBA games.

Outside of sports, Hulu has the annual Academy Awards (but even as an Oscar nut, I know this is hardly a major draw), and Netflix has experimented with special broadcasts, such as “Skyscraper Live” back in January. These are nice extras, but for most subscribers, when we talk about live content, it’s all about sports, sports, sports.

Note: This is just an evaluation of the live programming on offer in the U.S. Live programming varies by market.

Overall Grades

If you can only subscribe to one streaming service in 2026, we’d suggest HBO Max. While it didn’t receive the highest grade in every single category, overall it offers a practically unrivaled library, several original shows worth sticking around for, and a few live sporting events of note.

Netflix will presumably always be the most popular choice, and it scores respectable, even if its original movie output is disappointing.

Disney+/Hulu offers great value, and a breadth of content that will keep the whole family entertained. Apple TV puts quality over quantity, and there’s merit in that approach. Peacock is often neglected but might be worth considering, though its grade this time is significantly helped by major events (Olympics/World Cup) that aren’t annual.

Overall, there is no perfect streaming service. Each platform has its strengths and areas for improvement.

Paramount+ and Prime Video round out the report card, two services that have plus points, but just as many caveats. Hopefully, over the next 12 months, they can beef up their original lineup and come back swinging, ready to take on the pack we’ve graded above them in 2027.

Overall, there is no perfect streaming service. Each platform has its strengths and areas for improvement. Subscribing to 2-3 is perhaps the best way to get most of what appeals to you. However, returning to our survey results, nearly 30% of respondents subscribe to 7 or more platforms, which definitely seems excessive. My advice: you should cancel a few.

We’re already beginning to evaluate each of these streaming services for our next series of streaming service report cards in 2027, so watch this space; the winners and losers could change.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Sept. 4-6) ]]> 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 (or shows with new episodes) perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.

Let's start with a pair of shows you can now stream in full on Hulu. "Furious" has been the surprise hit of the summer, and just dropped its season 1 finale this past week. "Chad Powers" season 2 also arrived on Hulu this week and all six of its episodes are available to stream now. Finally, if you're looking for a show that's still ongoing, "The Shards" just dropped its penultimate episode this week, so it's the perfect time to catch up before the season finale.

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 September 2026.

'Furious' season 1

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? "Furious" stars Emmy Rossum as rookie FBI agent Alice Black. She's a former NYPD homicide detective now working for the feds, and in her first big case, she's on the hunt for a serial killer (Lola Petticrew). But she doesn't know that Catherine, our killer, is really a sex trafficking survivor on a quest for vigilante justice. Could that be enough to stop Alice from bringing her in when it's time to make the arrest? Or is a killer a killer, no matter how evil the people they kill are?

Why you should watch it: "Furious" season 1 has been a big hit for Hulu. It has an impressive 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and 88% from audiences. It's already the show of the summer, and it's been renewed for season 2. Stream the entire first season now and see what you've been missing.

'Chad Powers' season 2

Genre: Sports comedy series

What it's about: Based on a character from the Eli Manning documentary series "Eli's Places," this comedy series stars Glenn Powell as former college football quarterback Russ Holliday. Living in disgrace following a championship game gone wrong, he's adopted the false persona of Chad, complete with wigs and prosthetics, to go to a new, smaller school for one last shot at glory.

Why you should watch it: critics weren't so kind to season 1 of "Chad Powers" on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences loved it. With season 2, it seems the critics have changed their tune; it's currently rated 100% fresh.

Watch all six episodes of "Chad Powers" season 2 on Hulu now

'The Shards' season 1

Genre: Teen thriller series

What's it about? Based on the fictionalized memoir of show co-creator Bret Easton Ellis, "The Shards" is set at the prestigious Buckley Prep in Los Angeles. It stars Igby Rigney as a young version of Ellis. A student at the affluent prep school, his world is rocked when a new student, Robert (Homer Gere), arrives, coincidentally (or perhaps not) at the same time a serial killer known as the Trawler becomes active.

Why you should watch it: Ryan Murphy is a prolific showrunner, and his FX shows all tend to have a combination of polish, style and darkness. Based on the trailer, "The Shards" seems to be cut from that same cloth. But it's been polarizing among critics and fans, according to Rotten Tomatoes, and people seem to either love it or hate it.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (Sept. 4-6) ]]> Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

This weekend, I'm recommending a pair of movies that are among my favorites to rewatch, along with one new release from this year worth checking out. Let's start with "Moneyball," which is genuinely one of my favorite movies, and maybe the best sports movie ever. "Pineapple Express" isn't quite on the same level, admittedly, but it's one of my favorite comedies from the 2000s and guaranteed to score some laughs. Finally, make sure to check out "Signal One," a brand-new sci-fi flick that just landed on Hulu today (September 4).

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026.

'Moneyball' (2011)

Genre: Biographical sports drama movie

What's it about? Based on the Michael Lewis book of the same name, "Moneyball" is the dramatic retelling of how Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) transformed the A’s. Using analytics, he took a team that nobody believed in and made it into the model now used by every Major League Baseball team to evaluate talent.

Why you need to watch it: I'm watching a scene from "Moneyball" right now as I type this, and it's giving me goosebumps just from the score and Jonah Hill's voice alone. It may get things wrong at times — it notably omits that the team had great players in the form of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, Barry Zito, Eric Chavez and Miguel Tejada. But Pitt’s performance as Beane is incredible, only to be matched in every scene by Jonah Hill’s Peter Brand (based partially on real-life Beane assistant Paul DePodesta).

Watch "Moneyball" on Hulu now

'Pineapple Express' (2008)

Genre: Stoner action comedy movie

What's it about? "Pineapple Express" stars Seth Rogen as Dale Denton, a process server. When Dale unwittingly witnesses a murder committed by drug lord Ted Jones (Gary Cole), Dale and his drug dealer (James Franco) are forced to flee from Jones's hitmen and a corrupt police officer (Rosie Perez) who aided in the murder.

Why you need to watch it: This movie is hilarious. But it also wraps up quite neatly in a satisfying, rather than cheap, way. If you want something dumb and fun, but with still a bit of intelligence in the writing and performances, this movie is perfect.

Watch "Pineapple Express" on Hulu now

'Signal One' (2026)

Genre: Science fiction movie

What's it about? In "Signal One," Dr. Annika Kask (Isabelle Fuhrman) and Charlie Kaminsky (Josh Hutcherson) are brought in by tech billionaire Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid) to work on a secret project. That project, it's quickly revealed, is to work with physicist Perry Glassner (David Thewlis), who believes he's found a way to communicate with aliens. Unfortunately, he's right.

Why you should watch it: For what seems to be a B-movie straight-to-video sci-fi flick, "Signal One" looks like it explores some meaningful ground. At least, that's based on the trailer. Besides, who doesn't love a good first-contact-with-aliens movie? Definitely check this one out now that it's on Hulu.

]]> <![CDATA[ You probably haven't seen this risqué comedy that's hiding in plain sight on Hulu — I promise you it’s a total masterpiece ]]> “Howards End,” “Sense and Sensibility,” “The Remains of the Day,” “Love Actually,” “Henry V,” “In the Name of the Father,” the “Harry Potter” franchise — few actors have the kind of filmography as Dame Emma Thompson and even fewer can pull off making us laugh and weep in equal measure.

The two-time Oscar winner does both, and often, in one of her best but lesser-known performances: as a sex-seeking widow in 2022’s “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” which you can watch now on Hulu.

Given how often top streaming services change up their film and TV selections (just check out all of the movies and shows that are new on Hulu in August 2026 alone for proof), and the fact that the indie dramedy received a limited run in theaters stateside, you might’ve missed out on a hidden gem like “Leo Grande.” But Thompson’s terrific lead performance is more than reason enough to check out the sweet and sensual flick. Here’s why you should check out “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” on Hulu now.

What is 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande' about?

Emma Thompson stars as Nancy Stokes, a fiftysomething retired school teacher and recent widow who never experienced a real orgasm, even after 30 years with her late husband. She seeks to change that fact by hiring a handsome young sex worker, Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack).

The unlikely duo regularly meets up in hotel rooms, with Nancy armed with a bucket list of sexual activities that she wants to experience for the first time. No matter how professional and straightforward Nancy tries to keep things between them, the pair slowly but surely opens up to each other, discussing everything from family dynamics to past relationships to their real names (in case Leo Grande wasn’t enough of a tip-off).

Why I recommend you stream 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande'

Directed by Sophie Hyde and written by Katy Brand, “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” gives Thompson that rare thing, especially in a youth-obsessed industry like Hollywood: A raw, sexy and soulful portrait of a woman past middle age, with all of the insecurities, desires and regrets that come along with it.

Lacking vanity but not vulnerability, it’s one of the actress’s finest, fiercest performances, and she’s well-matched by an endearing Daryl McCormack. (Both actors earned BAFTA nominations for their work, with Thompson also scoring a Golden Globe nod.)

Calling the film a “tart and tender probe into sex and intimacy, power dynamics and human connection,” New York Times critic Lisa Kennedy praised Thompson’s agility “with the script's zingers and revelations” and McCormack for moving “between wit, compassion and vulnerability with grace."

Russ Holliday's double life is quite literally falling apart in “Chad Powers" S2, even if coach Jake Hudson's fixation on getting the South Georgia Catfish into the College Football Playoff has blinded him to the ever-growing rap sheet of weird signs.

Here's how to watch “Chad Powers" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.

"Chad Powers" S2 premieres on Thursday, September 3 on Hulu in the U.S.

The irony, of course, is that Russ' alter-ego no longer runs skin-deep. The disgraced former Oregon quarterback is a changed man... unfortunately his path to redemption happens to be one of the absolute worst scandals in sports history.

He's leaned on Danny hard enough. Now, he needs to find a way to win over assistant coach Ricky, who feels a sense of betrayal on a personal level after they bonded and she unmasked him. Throw in their shared football philosophy, the fling with Wendy and Jake's heart-attack, and things start looking pretty complicated.

When Russ is sent a Chad Powers mask with the word 'liar' duct taped over the mouth, however, it appears as if Ricky might be the tip of the iceberg.

]]> <![CDATA[ Hulu just added 41 new movies — here are the 5 you need to stream right now ]]> Hulu just added 41 new movies to kick off September 2026. As usual, the first day of the month is typically a big one for the best streaming services, with Netflix, Prime Video, and the like adding most of the classic titles (i.e. non-originals) to their libraries. This month was no exception.

Frankly, 41 movies is too many to bother sifting through if you ain't getting paid to do it. I am, and that's why I'm doing the hard work for you. I've combed through everything new on Hulu in September to shine a spotlight on the best of the best. I have five movies worth adding to your watchlist today.

First up, I'm recommending the earworm-filled "Bob's Burgers Movie," which is just as heartwarming even if you've never seen the show. For even more good vibes, check out "Good Day, Ramón," a drama about an unlikely friendship that transcends the language barrier. Then, for a documentary that sticks with you, look no further than "Beauties of the Night," a touching look at stars who aged out of the entertainment industry. For a blast from the past, there's the seminal queer horror comedy "Jennifer's Body" as well as a quintessential emo/scene kid movie, "Paranorman," from the same study behind "Coraline."

So let's dive into the five newly added to Hulu movies that you need to be streaming right now.

5 Hulu movies to stream now

'The Bob's Burgers Movie' (2022)

You don't need to know anything about "Bob's Burgers" to enjoy "The Bob's Burgers Movie," just a good sense of humor for a dysfunctional but well-meaning family. When a giant sinkhole opens up directly in front of the Belcher family's restaurant, it's only the latest misfortune. Parents Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) are already staring down a looming deadline to repay their business loan, and a sinkhole ain't exactly great for business.

Meanwhile, the Belcher kids are busy dealing with their own kid-sized problems, which naturally spiral once they stumble into a murder investigation. After their friend Mickey the carny is arrested for a crime he insists he didn’t commit, the siblings do what any totally responsible kids would do: investigate the murder themselves. And of course, there's plenty of gorgeously animated musical numbers along the way.

'Beauties of the Night' (2016)

Directed by María José Cuevas, "Beauties of the Night" follows five celebrated vedettes (or showgirls) of the 1970s and ’80s — Olga Breeskin, Lyn May, Rossy Mendoza, Wanda Seux and Princesa Yamal — now in their 60s. Using archival footage alongside intimate glimpses of their lives today, the documentary explores what happens when women who built careers around their looks find themselves left behind by an entertainment industry obsessed with the next generation.

"Beauties of the Night" goes beyond the standard "where are they now?" story you might expect, trading that exploitative framework for a more thoughtful meditation on finding new purpose after the spotlight fades. If you’re interested in Mexican culture and entertainment history — or simply want an intimate if bittersweet documentary about women who refuse to be defined by their past — this is one to watch.

'Good Day, Ramón' (2014)

"Good Day, Ramón" earned a rare perfect 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, albeit from just six reviews (for what it's worth, more than 500 audience reviews put it at 81% on the Popcornmeter). This Spanish-language, Mexican/German co-production is heartwarming as all get it, centered on a simple but heartfelt message about something we can all relate to: finding our people in the unlikeliest of places.

Kristyan Ferrer stars as Ramon, a young Mexican man who travels to Germany to find work to support his family back home. Once there, he discovers that the person he was supposed to stay with is nowhere to be found, leaving him stranded and unable to speak the language. He eventually meets Ruth (Ingeborg Schöner), an elderly German woman who takes him in, and not even a language barrier can stop their unlikely friendship from blooming.

'Paranorman' (2012)

I'm a huge animation fan, and Laika makes the most beautiful and poignant stories in stop-motion there are. I'm excited to see their latest "Wildwood" in theaters on October 23, but until then, you can catch two of their greatest hits on Hulu this month. You've probably already heard of "Coraline," so I wanted to shout out one of my favorites that rarely gets the same flowers: "Paranorman."

Any grown-up weird kid can relate to Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a shy 11-year-old who's just trying to get through middle school. Being able to speak to the dead doesn't exactly help him fit in, and things get worse after he has a nightmarish vision of his hometown's past during a school play. When zombie puritans overrun the town, it's up to Norman and his friends to right a centuries-old witch hunt that killed a little girl, another misfit like him.

'Jennifer's Body' (2009)

What kind of self-respecting bisexual would I be if I didn't shout out "Jennifer's Body" on Hulu this month? Audiences slept on Diablo Cody's cult classic horror comedy when it came out in 2009 (the male-gazey marketing didn't help one bit), but I'm happy to see it finally get the attention it deserves on streaming.

Jennifer (Megan Fox) is the most popular girl in her high school and the polar opposite of her best friend, wallflower Anita “Needy” Lesnicki (Amanda Seyfried). When Jennifer becomes possessed after a Satanic ritual, she develops a taste for the boys in her class. It’s up to Anita to stop Jennifer’s reign of terror before her new boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons) is next on the menu.

]]> <![CDATA[ Disney+ and Hulu Report Card 2026: A formidable streaming duo, but are they enough to beat the competition? ]]> Disney+ and Hulu may now be closely connected, but they still serve very different purposes. Disney+ remains the home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and other family-friendly franchises, while Hulu brings a much broader mix of current TV, FX hits, originals, reality shows and movies. That makes them interesting services to grade both individually and as a pair.

We’re grading these across pricing, library, original content, and more, without considering the ESPN/Live TV add-on to see how strong they are both individually and when combined as a bundle. I use both services regularly, and while they may not command quite the same attention as Netflix or Prime Video, they’re still very much streaming staples (particularly if you’re into Disney’s biggest franchises or Hulu’s wealth of content).

We're diving into Disney+ and Hulu today to evaluate whether they still hold their spot as top-tier streaming platforms or if rival services are officially leaving them in the dust.

Disney+ and Hulu are among the better-priced streaming services, particularly when you look at what you get for your money. On their own, both Disney+ and Hulu start at $11.99 a month with ads, but the real bargain is the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, which costs $12.99 a month. That’s just $1 more than either service individually, while getting you both libraries, and works out to $10.99 less per month than subscribing to the two ad-supported services separately.

The premium bundle is similarly compelling at $19.99 a month, saving you $17.99 every month compared with paying $18.99 for each service individually.

For families, this is particularly easy to justify. Disney+ gives you the big Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu fills in the gaps with a much broader selection of TV, movies and FX content. If you use both regularly, there’s very little reason to pay for them separately. The bundle is easily the best-value way to get the most out of both services, and even the ad-supported tier gives you plenty for the price.

Grade: A

Library

(Image credit: 20th Century Studios)

Over the past 12 months, Disney+ and Hulu’s libraries are arguably at their best when you look beyond their originals. Disney+ has the obvious advantage of being the home for Disney’s biggest brands, but it also regularly brings major theatrical releases to streaming once their cinema runs are over. Over the past year, that has included movies such as “Hoppers,” “Predator: Badlands,” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash,”, alongside Disney-owned franchises and older favorites.

Their libraries are arguably at their best when you look at them together.

Hulu, meanwhile, is where things get particularly interesting. Its library is much broader, with a steady stream of licensed movies sitting alongside Disney-owned titles. Recent additions have included “Jurassic Park,” “Despicable Me 2,” “All of Us Strangers” and “Greedy People,” showing that you’re not limited to Disney’s own catalogue. Hulu also benefits from Disney’s relationships with other studios, meaning it can sometimes land recent theatrical movies before rival streaming services.

The result is a library that works for far more than just Disney fans. Disney+ brings the major franchises, while Hulu fills in the gaps with adult dramas, comedies, and licensed movies. That variety is arguably their biggest strength.

Grade: B+

Originals

Disney+ and Hulu have had a pretty strong year for original content, although their strengths are very different. Disney+ has continued to lean heavily on its biggest franchises, with “Daredevil: Born Again season 2,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” season 2, “Wonder Man” and “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” giving subscribers plenty of recognizable names to latch onto. “Wonder Man” was even one of Disney+’s most-watched original series of 2026 so far, showing that the Marvel brand can still bring people in.

Disney+ brings the franchise appeal, while Hulu gives the bundle a much broader range of original content.

Hulu is where I think the pairing becomes much more interesting. Its original slate is more varied, with FX productions, documentaries, comedy and dramas sitting alongside Hulu-branded shows. “Alien: Earth,” “Only Murders in the Building” season 5, “The Shards,” “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” and “Paradise” season 2 are just some of the originals added during the 12-month period. And honestly, they were all great.

There are definitely some misses (like “All’s Fair” and “Chad Powers” for example), but between Disney+’s franchise appeal and Hulu’s broader approach, there’s enough here to keep most subscribers interested, especially families looking for a wider range of content. Together, they make a much stronger original-content proposition than either service does alone.

Grade: B

Interface

The Disney+ interface is generally clean and easy to navigate, but bringing Hulu into the mix can make the experience feel more cluttered than it needs to be. Disney+ has done a good job creating dedicated hubs for its biggest brands, including Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar, but the sheer amount of Hulu content can make the homepage feel busier, particularly when recommendations and trending titles start mixing together. It can be difficult to separate Disney+ and Hulu content, especially when they open the app specifically looking for Disney’s franchises.

The combination can feel like two very different services awkwardly sharing the same space.

Hulu’s interface doesn’t quite make up for this, either. While it’s perfectly functional, the sluggish scrolling, slower loading and problems with titles sticking around in the “Continue Watching” row after they’ve already been finished. That can make browsing feel more frustrating than it should, especially when Hulu’s library is already so large.

The good news is that this should improve as Disney continues moving toward a unified Disney+/Hulu experience. For now, though, the combination can feel like two very different services awkwardly sharing the same space, rather than one seamless streaming platform.

Grade: C-

Live content

The new Disney Plus app with access to Hulu streaming service added

(Image credit: Future)

When it comes to live content, Disney+ and Hulu are a little more complicated than they first appear. You do get some live sports without paying for an additional add-on, but the selection is extremely limited. Disney+ subscribers can watch select live ESPN events, including certain college football games and ESPN College GameDay, but you don’t get anything close to the full ESPN offering.

If you want a much broader selection, you’ll need to pay extra for an ESPN plan, with ESPN Select starting at $13.99 a month and ESPN Unlimited costing $31.99 a month. There’s also Hulu + Live TV, which costs $89.99 a month and includes more than 100 live channels, including ESPN.

Sports fans will find some live content, but the best stuff costs extra.

That’s where Disney+ and Hulu lose points for me. While the ability to watch a very small handful of live events without upgrading is welcome, I wouldn’t consider it a meaningful live TV offering. Most streaming services that promote live content tend to make it part of a specific plan rather than asking you to stack multiple subscriptions to get the full experience.

If you’re a big sports fan, the additional cost quickly adds up, and suddenly the affordable Disney+/Hulu bundle isn’t quite so affordable. For casual viewers, the limited free offering is a nice bonus, but our grade feels fair when it comes to live content overall.

Grade: D

Overall grade: B-

Overall, Disney+ and Hulu remain a surprisingly strong streaming combination, particularly if you make the most of the bundle. Disney+ delivers the big franchises and family-friendly favorites, while Hulu adds a much broader mix of movies, TV and FX content. The pricing is arguably their biggest strength, with the bundle offering excellent value compared with subscribing separately.

However, the experience isn’t perfect. Hulu’s interface lets the pairing down, while the limited live offering means you’ll need to pay extra if you want more sports. Still, with a B- overall, there’s plenty here to justify keeping both in your streaming rotation.

If you want a much broader selection, you’ll need to pay extra for an ESPN plan, with ESPN Select starting at $13.99 a month and ESPN Unlimited costing $31.99 a month. There’s also Hulu + Live TV, which costs $89.99 a month and includes more than 100 live channels, including ESPN.

Sports fans will find some live content, but the best stuff costs extra.

That’s where Disney+ and Hulu lose points for me. While the ability to watch a very small handful of live events without upgrading is welcome, I wouldn’t consider it a meaningful live TV offering. Most streaming services that promote live content tend to make it part of a specific plan rather than asking you to stack multiple subscriptions to get the full experience.

If you’re a big sports fan, the additional cost quickly adds up, and suddenly the affordable Disney+/Hulu bundle isn’t quite so affordable. For casual viewers, the limited free offering is a nice bonus, but our grade feels fair when it comes to live content overall.

Grade: D

Overall grade: B-

Overall, Disney+ and Hulu remain a surprisingly strong streaming combination, particularly if you make the most of the bundle. Disney+ delivers the big franchises and family-friendly favorites, while Hulu adds a much broader mix of movies, TV and FX content. The pricing is arguably their biggest strength, with the bundle offering excellent value compared with subscribing separately.

However, the experience isn’t perfect. Hulu’s interface lets the pairing down, while the limited live offering means you’ll need to pay extra if you want more sports. Still, with a B- overall, there’s plenty here to justify keeping both in your streaming rotation.

]]> <![CDATA[ 10 years later, the most shocking Oscar winner in history hits way harder than you remember ]]> It was the Oscar win heard around the world: the Hollywood hullabaloo surrounding “Moonlight’s” historic Academy Award win for Best Picture in 2017. You know, the one where the statuette was accidentally and awkwardly given to “La La Land” first before that jaw-dropping envelope switch-up. The resulting furor was so loud that it nearly drowned out exactly how excellent the film was and remains a decade after its debut.

The low-budget drama was a monumental achievement for director Barry Jenkins and film studio A24, a queer indie featuring an all-Black cast of largely unknowns that unexpectedly rose to the highest echelons of the entertainment industry. But more so than its commercial and cultural impact, it's the movie’s visual poetry and emotional resonance that’s just as stirring now as it was ten years ago.

To celebrate a decade of “Moonlight,” here’s why you should revisit the award winner on Hulu.

What is 'Moonlight' about?

Told across three distinct chapters of life — childhood, adolescence and adulthood — “Moonlight” follows Chiron (played by Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes in each respective stage), a young Black man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami and later Atlanta.

As Chiron navigates poverty, physical and emotional abuse, and the socioeconomic hardships of his upbringing, he also has to grapple with complex questions of identity, masculinity and sexuality, especially his growing attraction to his childhood friend Kevin (portrayed by Jaden Piner in Act One, Jharrel Jerome in Act Two and André Holland in that searingly sensual finale).

Why I recommend you stream 'Moonlight'

Saying “Moonlight” is critically acclaimed is a dumb understatement. Along with that shiny, shock-to-the-world Oscar, Jenkins’ masterpiece has a near-perfect 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics praised the film for using “one man's story to offer a remarkable and brilliantly crafted look at lives too rarely seen in cinema."

But the three-act tale is also deeply human and achingly personal, wrenching universal truths out of the specificity of Chiron’s circumstances. The drama’s ensemble (largely made up of new faces but with a few notable names mixed in, including Naomie Harris, Janelle Monáe and an astonishing Mahershala Ali) gorgeously settles into the raw intimacy of Chiron’s world, so much so that you feel like you’re wafting in the waves right alongside Juan and Little.

A movie with such unabashed tenderness and quiet beauty still feels like a rare thing even a decade on, it’s proof that the glow of "Moonlight" only gets brighter with time.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Aug. 28-30) ]]> 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 "Adults" season 2. This show was a surprise hit last year and even got a special prequel episode from FX just last month. Once you're done catching up on that, make sure to check out "Futurama" season 14 for some mindless animated mayhem. Finally, you need to be watching "Furious." This serial killer crime drama is one of the summer's surprise hits, and the season finale is coming on Monday — time to catch up.

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.

'Adults' season 2

Genre: Situational comedy series

What it's about: "Adults" stars Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele as Samir, Billie, Paul Baker, Issa, and Anton, respectively. They're close friends struggling to navigate the challenges of being an adult while all living together in Samir's childhood home.

Why you should watch it: If this show feels like "Girls" to you, you're not alone. In the trailer, Zosia Mamet, who starred in the HBO series, references this close resemblance, saying, "You think you're the first ones to be young and adorable in New York?" So, if shows like "Girls" speak to you, then "Adults" needs to be on your watchlist this weekend.

Watch the two-episode premiere of "Adults" season 2 on Hulu now

'Futurama' season 14

Genre: Animated sci-fi sitcom series

What's it about? Set in the third millennium A.D., "Futurama" centers around a delivery service run by a band of misfit humans, aliens, mutants and even a robot. Don't expect many packages making it to their destinations, though. This show is all about the hijinks.

Why you should watch it: "Futurama" may be from the third millennium, but it is one of the best animated sitcoms of this millennium. While some of the most recent seasons may not be as good as the first several, they're still guaranteed to earn a laugh or two. Plus, you can binge the old seasons once you've caught up on season 14.

Watch the first five episodes of "Futurama" season 14 on Hulu now

'Furious' season 1

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? "Furious" stars Emmy Rossum as former NYPD homicide detective Alice Black. She's now working for the FBI, and she's on the hunt for a serial killer (Lola Petticrew). But in a twist, this killer is really a sex trafficking survivor on a quest for vigilante justice. That 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, with an impressive 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and 89% from audiences. It's already the show of the summer, and it's been renewed for season 2. Catch up before the season finale on Monday.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (Aug. 28-30) ]]> Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

Here's the thing, though. The movies added to Hulu aren't always good. Unfortunately, this week is a prime example of that fact, as "Desert Warrior" is the only new movie coming to Hulu this weekend. Given its 28% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm loath to recommend it.

So, this weekend, I'm recommending three newly added movies from the past few weeks that are worth a watch this weekend, rather than strictly the newest movies to Hulu. "The Christophers" was just added last week and is a new Steven Soderbergh movie from earlier this year anchored around a pair of great performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Once you're done with that, check out "Violent Ends," a 2025 crime thriller you almost certainly haven't seen before. Then, wrap up your movie marathon with "Ex Machina," a sci-fi masterpiece from "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" writer Alex Garland.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in August 2026.

'The Christophers' (2026)

Genre: Black comedy movie

What's it about? "The Christophers" stars Michaela Coel as Lori. She's a reformed forger turned art restorer, but Barnaby and Sallie Sklar (James Corden and Jessica Gunning) want her to get back in the game. They've hired her to pose as an assistant to their artist father, Julian (Ian McKellen), so that she can finish his eight incomplete works without him knowing. The plan? Once he dies, his kids will "discover" the missing works ... and become quite rich while they're at it.

Why you need to watch it: This movie has gotten rave reviews from essentially everyone who saw it. This movie is all about its two leads, and McKellen and Coel are worth the price of admission. There's a good chance this is the best movie from 2026 you haven't seen yet this year.

Watch "The Christophers" on Hulu now

'Violent Ends' (2025)

Genre: Gothic crime thriller movie

What's it about? Lucas (Billy Magnussen) tries not to be like the rest of his family. Largely because they're all criminals, and he just wants to be an honest man. But when armed robbery goes wrong, it draws him into the family business: good ol' fashioned small-town violence.

Why you need to watch it: I grew up in a small town that could easily be mistaken for the Northwestern Arkansas location of "Violent Ends." So I'm a sucker for these types of crime thrillers in the backwoods of America. Make sure to check it out this weekend if you have the time.

'Ex Machina' (2014)

Genre: Sci-fi thriller movie

What's it about? "Ex Machina" stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb. He's a programmer set to spend a week at the home of his company's CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). But upon his arrival, he learns his visit's true purpose, and he's stunned. He's there to test a humanoid robot with an artificial intelligence (Alicia Vikander) to see if she can pass for human.

Why you should watch it: I firmly fall in the camp that this movie's writer/director, Alex Garland, can do no wrong. That includes everything from the show "Devs" to 2026's incredible "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple." "Ex Machina" might be his best work, so make sure to watch it while it's still on Hulu.

Here's the thing, though. The movies added to Hulu aren't always good. Unfortunately, this week is a prime example of that fact, as "Desert Warrior" is the only new movie coming to Hulu this weekend. Given its 28% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm loath to recommend it.

So, this weekend, I'm recommending three newly added movies from the past few weeks that are worth a watch this weekend, rather than strictly the newest movies to Hulu. "The Christophers" was just added last week and is a new Steven Soderbergh movie from earlier this year anchored around a pair of great performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Once you're done with that, check out "Violent Ends," a 2025 crime thriller you almost certainly haven't seen before. Then, wrap up your movie marathon with "Ex Machina," a sci-fi masterpiece from "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" writer Alex Garland.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in August 2026.

'The Christophers' (2026)

Genre: Black comedy movie

What's it about? "The Christophers" stars Michaela Coel as Lori. She's a reformed forger turned art restorer, but Barnaby and Sallie Sklar (James Corden and Jessica Gunning) want her to get back in the game. They've hired her to pose as an assistant to their artist father, Julian (Ian McKellen), so that she can finish his eight incomplete works without him knowing. The plan? Once he dies, his kids will "discover" the missing works ... and become quite rich while they're at it.

Why you need to watch it: This movie has gotten rave reviews from essentially everyone who saw it. This movie is all about its two leads, and McKellen and Coel are worth the price of admission. There's a good chance this is the best movie from 2026 you haven't seen yet this year.

'Violent Ends' (2025)

Genre: Gothic crime thriller movie

What's it about? Lucas (Billy Magnussen) tries not to be like the rest of his family. Largely because they're all criminals, and he just wants to be an honest man. But when armed robbery goes wrong, it draws him into the family business: good ol' fashioned small-town violence.

Why you need to watch it: I grew up in a small town that could easily be mistaken for the Northwestern Arkansas location of "Violent Ends." So I'm a sucker for these types of crime thrillers in the backwoods of America. Make sure to check it out this weekend if you have the time.

'Ex Machina' (2014)

Genre: Sci-fi thriller movie

What's it about? "Ex Machina" stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb. He's a programmer set to spend a week at the home of his company's CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). But upon his arrival, he learns his visit's true purpose, and he's stunned. He's there to test a humanoid robot with an artificial intelligence (Alicia Vikander) to see if she can pass for human.

Why you should watch it: I firmly fall in the camp that this movie's writer/director, Alex Garland, can do no wrong. That includes everything from the show "Devs" to 2026's incredible "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple." "Ex Machina" might be his best work, so make sure to watch it while it's still on Hulu.

]]> <![CDATA[ New on Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026: All the new shows and movies to watch ]]> Summer is sadly coming to an end, but at least there are plenty of buzzy titles coming to streaming to distract us from the fact that the days are swiftly getting shorter and the temperatures are getting cooler.

With the end of one season and the beginning of the next comes a fresh wave of films and television shows to the top streaming services, including Hulu and Disney+. September 2026 will see the return of popular series including Ryan Murphy's long-running anthology "American Horror Story" and the Glen Powell-led comedy series "Chad Powers." And the film side of things will be equally stacked, with the streaming premiere of the Star Wars flick "The Mandalorian and Grogu."

Want to see what else is hitting the platform? Keep reading to check out our top picks and the full list of everything new on Hulu and Disney+ this month.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026: Top picks

'The Mandalorian and Grogu'

After soaring into movie theaters this past May, the big-screen sci-fi epic "The Mandalorian and Grogu" will make its Disney+ premiere on September 2. Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Martin Scorsese and, of course, that adorable titular green alien, the film follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they hunt down ex-Imperial remnants and warlords for the New Republic.

But there's more Star Wars goodness where that comes from: The movie lands on Disney+ the same day as an official companion behind-the-scenes podcast, as well as the animated special "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian," a comedic retelling of the live-action series.

Stream "The Mandalorian and Grogu" on Disney+ now

'Chad Powers' season 2

Glen Powell's Chad Powers — aka the adopted, prosthetics-wearing alter ego of disgraced quarterback Russ Holiday — is back for a second round of the sports comedy, which premieres on September 3.

The six-episode season will see Chad's odd behavior start to raise suspicions in those around him, including Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) and Gerry (Colton Ryan), which threatens to expose his secret identity and jeopardize the entire football season. He'll find some unlikely help both on the field and off in the form of Ricky (Perry Mattfeld).

Stream "Chad Powers' on Hulu now

'American Horror Story' season 13

The fan-favorite horror anthology from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk returns for lucky number 13 on September 24, with the first three half-hour episodes of the 13-part season. (Three more will follow on October 1, with a pair to follow on October 8, 15 and 22 respectively before the spooky finale on October 29.)

"Horror Story" regulars including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peter will all return to the freaky franchise for the momentous occasion, leading an all-star cast that also includes Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Jamie Brewer, John Carroll Lynch and Mena Suvari, among others.

"Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await?" teases the official season 13 logline. "Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise."

Summer is sadly coming to an end, but at least there are plenty of buzzy titles coming to streaming to distract us from the fact that the days are swiftly getting shorter and the temperatures are getting cooler.

With the end of one season and the beginning of the next comes a fresh wave of films and television shows to the top streaming services, including Hulu and Disney+. September 2026 will see the return of popular series including Ryan Murphy's long-running anthology "American Horror Story" and the Glen Powell-led comedy series "Chad Powers." And the film side of things will be equally stacked, with the streaming premiere of the Star Wars flick "The Mandalorian and Grogu."

Want to see what else is hitting the platform? Keep reading to check out our top picks and the full list of everything new on Hulu and Disney+ this month.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026: Top picks

'The Mandalorian and Grogu'

After soaring into movie theaters this past May, the big-screen sci-fi epic "The Mandalorian and Grogu" will make its Disney+ premiere on September 2. Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Martin Scorsese and, of course, that adorable titular green alien, the film follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they hunt down ex-Imperial remnants and warlords for the New Republic.

But there's more Star Wars goodness where that comes from: The movie lands on Disney+ the same day as an official companion behind-the-scenes podcast, as well as the animated special "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian," a comedic retelling of the live-action series.

'Chad Powers' season 2

Glen Powell's Chad Powers — aka the adopted, prosthetics-wearing alter ego of disgraced quarterback Russ Holiday — is back for a second round of the sports comedy, which premieres on September 3.

The six-episode season will see Chad's odd behavior start to raise suspicions in those around him, including Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) and Gerry (Colton Ryan), which threatens to expose his secret identity and jeopardize the entire football season. He'll find some unlikely help both on the field and off in the form of Ricky (Perry Mattfeld).

Stream "Chad Powers' on Hulu now

'American Horror Story' season 13

The fan-favorite horror anthology from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk returns for lucky number 13 on September 24, with the first three half-hour episodes of the 13-part season. (Three more will follow on October 1, with a pair to follow on October 8, 15 and 22 respectively before the spooky finale on October 29.)

"Horror Story" regulars including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peter will all return to the freaky franchise for the momentous occasion, leading an all-star cast that also includes Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Jamie Brewer, John Carroll Lynch and Mena Suvari, among others.

"Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await?" teases the official season 13 logline. "Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise."

]]> <![CDATA[ 5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more (Aug. 25-31) — including a new crime mystery thriller with Robert De Niro ]]> This week's slate of top new movies across the biggest streaming services has been confirmed, and after taking last week off, the most popular players, Netflix and Prime Video, return with fresh flicks for subscribers.

The headliner this week looks to be Netflix's new original thriller, "The Whisper Man," which combines a strong cast with a gripping plot. Other notable new movies include a sun-soaked romantic drama on Prime Video and a historical epic on Hulu, which made (unwanted) history of its own after the $150 million movie became a record-setting box office flop.

To save you from scrolling through endless streaming service libraries, I've rounded up the most noteworthy new arrivals across platforms. And if you fancy some binge-watching, here are the top new TV shows this week.

‘Her Private Hell’ (PVOD)

“Her Private Hell” is the first feature from “Drive” director Nicolas Winding Refn in a decade. Its critical reception was pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a new Winding Refn movie. In short, some critics thought it was a bold surreal trip, and others labeled it a tacky, pretentious disaster. A decade may have passed, but clearly some things never change!

Starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton, it centers on a troubled young woman (Thatcher) searching for her absentee father in a neon-drenched futuristic metropolis. Her search leads her to an American G.I. (Melton), who is on his own quest to rescue his daughter from hell. Expect stunning visuals and bizarre narrative quirks. This one won't convert those not already attuned to NWR’s frequency, but dedicated fans will love it.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting August 25

‘Motor City’ (PVOD)

It’s a strong week for experimental movies, because “Motor City” may be an action-thriller, but it attempts to do something a little different in the genre. The hook here is that director Potsy Ponciroli's new picture has very minimal dialogue. Instead, the pulpy action and rock-heavy soundtrack does the talking. The movie stars “Reacher” lead Alan Ritchson, alongside Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Lionel Boyce and Shailene Woodley.

Set in 1970s Detroit, Vietnam War veteran John Miller (Ritchson) is on the warpath after a local gangster, Reynolds (Foster), frames him for a crime he didn’t commit and steals his girlfriend, Sophia (Woodley). Sentenced to 25 years in prison, Miller breaks out of incarceration and, with nothing left to lose, embarks on an epic odyssey for revenge.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting August 25

‘The Last Sunrise’ (Prime Video)

Summer is drawing to a close, but there’s still time for one last sun-soaked escape in Prime Video’s new romantic drama “The Last Sunrise.” Adapted from Anna Todd’s novel of the same name (which only hit bookshelves last spring), it stars Maia Reficco and Fernando Lindez as two extremely attractive people who fall in love in an equally beautiful location.

Ry (Maia Reficco) is an American student dealing with a chronic illness. Heading to Mallorca for the summer with her overprotective mother (Eva Longoria), she finds an unexpected romance with a local, Julián (Fernando Lindez). The pair promise to live in the moment, but as Ry’s condition worsens and family secrets surface, this passionate summer of love could come to an early end. It all sounds like predictable fodder for the genre.

Watch on Prime Video starting August 26

‘Desert Warrior’ (Hulu)

“Desert Warrior” is one for the morbidly curious. This $150 million historical epic starring Anthony Mackie was made in hopes of revitalizing the Saudi Arabian film industry. After a tough production and a post-production period that reportedly saw director Rupert Wyatt temporarily step back before returning, it was released on the big screen in April and grossed less than $1 million, making it one of the biggest box office bombs in history.

Curious to know if it deserved to bomb? Then its arrival on Hulu is your chance. Set in 7th-century Arabia, a princess (Aiysha Hart) defies the wishes of the ruthless Emperor Kisra (Ben Kingsley) and, with the help of a legendary bandit, Hanzala (Mackie), unites the region's warring tribes to take a stand against the ruler, culminating in the Battle of Ze Qar.

Watch on Hulu starting August 28

‘The Whisper Man’ (Netflix)

Netflix is capping off its summer original slate with one of my most anticipated streaming movies of the year, “The Whisper Man.” Based on Alex North’s novel, it’s a crime thriller with a strong cast. It features Adam Scott, Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton, and while the jury is still out on its quality, the premise sounds very promising.

Tom Kennedy (Scott) is a widowed crime author whose real life starts to mirror one of the stories from his books when his 8-year-old son is abducted. Desperate for help, he turns to his estranged father, a retired police detective (De Niro). The already bleak situation gets even darker when a connection to a decades-old convicted serial killer, dubbed The Whisper Man, is unearthed.

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (Aug. 21-23) —including a long-running sitcom about Philly degenerates ]]> 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."

]]> <![CDATA[ 3 new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (Aug. 21-23) ]]> Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

This weekend, I've got two must-watch movies, and a third that's worth checking out if you have the time. "All of Us Strangers" is a stunning romance movie starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal with a fantastical twist. Once you're left reeling from that film, check out "The Christophers," a new Steven Soderbergh movie anchored around great performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Finally, wrap up your weekend movie marathon with "Greedy People," a 2024 crime comedy film starring "The Odyssey" star Himesh Patel.

So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in August 2026.

'All of Us Strangers' (2023)

Genre: Romantic fantasy movie

What's it about? "All of Us Strangers" stars Andrew Scott as a lonely writer who is still grappling with the childhood loss of his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell). But he starts to explore that trauma as he grows close to Harry (Paul Mescal), a mysterious neighbor he meets in a chance encounter.

Why you should watch it: This movie ends on a twist you might not see coming. But the real selling point of this movie is the lead performance of Scott, and to a lesser extent, Mescal. Both are excellent, and Scott was considered snubbed by the Academy when he didn't get an Oscar nomination. Make time for this movie this weekend.

Watch "All of Us Strangers" on Hulu starting August 22

'The Christophers' (2026)

Genre: Black comedy movie

What's it about? Lori (Michaela Coel) is an art restorer and former forger, but Barnaby and Sallie Sklar (James Corden and Jessica Gunning) want to change that last part. They've hired her to pose as a prospective assistant for their father Julian (Ian McKellen), a famous artist, so that she can finish his eight incomplete pieces without him knowing. Then, once he dies, the kids will magically "discover" the missing works and become quite rich while they're at it.

Why you need to watch it: This movie got rave reviews from nearly everyone who saw it. Like with "All of Us Strangers," "The Christophers" is all about its two leads. McKellen and Coel are worth the price of admission, and this might be the best movie from 2026 you haven't seen yet this year.

Watch "The Christophers" on Hulu starting August 22

'Greedy People' (2024)

Genre: Crime comedy movie

What's it about? "Greedy People" tells five intertwined stories set in the sleepy town of Providence, SC. These misadventures are all caused by the characters' greed, and they create a domino effect of retaliatory murders and chaos.

Why you need to watch it: Based on the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, "Greedy People" is a mixed bag. The cast is excellent, and the performances shine because of it. But the result of this messy web of murders leaves something to be desired. Still, if you're looking for a newly added movie on Hulu to watch, this one is worth checking out; just make sure you watch it after the first two on this list.

]]> <![CDATA[ Loved Netflix's 'Don't Say Good Luck'? I picked 3 great movies to watch next ]]> As part of its usual monthly refresh, Netflix welcomed a load of new series and movies to its platform in August 2026. But one recent title has stuck with us (and clearly other Netflix users, as the film's stayed steadily in the top 3 of the streamer's weekly charts since its debut on August 14): "Don't Say Good Luck."

The coming-of-age dramedy stars Sunny Sandler — yes, that Sandler — as Sophie Birenbaum, a 16-year-old theater kid eager to land a role in her high school production of the Broadway musical "Waitress." However, those stage-star plans are complicated by some major family drama, specifically the terminal cancer diagnosis given to her mother Elizabeth, played by the always-excellent Melanie Lynskey (Max Greenfield stars as dad).

Tom's Guide's own Rory Mellon called the sweet flick a "genuinely touching teen drama" with "a standing-ovation-worthy performance from Sunny Sandler [that] elevates this crowd-pleaser above the pack." And if you're after more of that heartwarming same, here are three movies like "Don't Say Good Luck" to check out after the Netflix movie.

'The Edge of Seventeen'

Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, this 2016 teen comedy stars Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld as 17-year-old Nadine Franklin, who has already weathered a good deal of familial drama—her father died of a heart attack when she was just 13—even before finding out that her older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) is dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). Horrified at the news, Nadine seeks support from her world-weary teacher Max Bruner (Woody Harrelson) and her sweetly awkward classmate Erwin Kim (Hayden Szeto).

Steinfeld deservedly received a Golden Globe nomination for her outstanding lead performance as our flawed young heroine, deftly balancing the defiant sarcasm and deep sadness of the teen. That, paired with Fremon Craig's sharp script, elevates "The Edge of Seventeen" to "more than just another coming-of-age dramedy," per Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus, where the film has a strong 94% approval rating.

'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'

Based on Jesse Andrews' 2012 novel of the same name, Sundance darling "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" centers on Greg (Thomas Mann), a socially awkward high school senior who—along with his short-film collaborator Earl (RJ Cyler)—reconnects with a former childhood friend, Rachel Kushner (Olivia Cooke), who has just been diagnosed with cancer. As Rachel begins her chemotherapy treatment, the trio becomes closer, and the lads decide to make a film in tribute to "the dying girl."

Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon from a screenplay by Andrews himself, the 2015 indie is equal parts amusing and moving, skillfully avoiding any cheesy melodrama thanks to its honesty, heart and humor. "Anyone who buys a ticket to a film called 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl' goes in fully expecting to cry. It’s sort of a given," wrote Peter Debruge for Variety. "The surprise, then, is the laughter: the near-constant stream of wise, insightful jokes that make it so easy to cozy up to characters dealing with a tough emotional situation."

'The Fault in Our Stars'

When it comes to the "teens dealing with cancer" movie genre, arguably none is more iconic than "The Fault in Our Stars," the tear-jerking 2014 romance adapted from John Green's bestselling YA novel.

Our tragic couple is Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus "Gus" Waters (Ansel Elgort), two teens with a lot in common: Their love of books, their acerbic wit, and their respective diagnoses. After meeting at a cancer support group, they fall passionately in love, their fading health be damned, and embark on a journey to Amsterdam to track down a reclusive author.

Warning: It's definitely a weepy watch, but one that is well worth it thanks to Woodley's warm, grounded performance and the palpable chemistry between the two leads.

Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, this 2016 teen comedy stars Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld as 17-year-old Nadine Franklin, who has already weathered a good deal of familial drama—her father died of a heart attack when she was just 13—even before finding out that her older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) is dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). Horrified at the news, Nadine seeks support from her world-weary teacher Max Bruner (Woody Harrelson) and her sweetly awkward classmate Erwin Kim (Hayden Szeto).

Steinfeld deservedly received a Golden Globe nomination for her outstanding lead performance as our flawed young heroine, deftly balancing the defiant sarcasm and deep sadness of the teen. That, paired with Fremon Craig's sharp script, elevates "The Edge of Seventeen" to "more than just another coming-of-age dramedy," per Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus, where the film has a strong 94% approval rating.

'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'

Based on Jesse Andrews' 2012 novel of the same name, Sundance darling "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" centers on Greg (Thomas Mann), a socially awkward high school senior who—along with his short-film collaborator Earl (RJ Cyler)—reconnects with a former childhood friend, Rachel Kushner (Olivia Cooke), who has just been diagnosed with cancer. As Rachel begins her chemotherapy treatment, the trio becomes closer, and the lads decide to make a film in tribute to "the dying girl."

Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon from a screenplay by Andrews himself, the 2015 indie is equal parts amusing and moving, skillfully avoiding any cheesy melodrama thanks to its honesty, heart and humor. "Anyone who buys a ticket to a film called 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl' goes in fully expecting to cry. It’s sort of a given," wrote Peter Debruge for Variety. "The surprise, then, is the laughter: the near-constant stream of wise, insightful jokes that make it so easy to cozy up to characters dealing with a tough emotional situation."

'The Fault in Our Stars'

When it comes to the "teens dealing with cancer" movie genre, arguably none is more iconic than "The Fault in Our Stars," the tear-jerking 2014 romance adapted from John Green's bestselling YA novel.

Our tragic couple is Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus "Gus" Waters (Ansel Elgort), two teens with a lot in common: Their love of books, their acerbic wit, and their respective diagnoses. After meeting at a cancer support group, they fall passionately in love, their fading health be damned, and embark on a journey to Amsterdam to track down a reclusive author.

Warning: It's definitely a weepy watch, but one that is well worth it thanks to Woodley's warm, grounded performance and the palpable chemistry between the two leads.
