With Emmy-winning TV series, award-winning films, and fan-favorite dramas and comedies, Hulu is a pop-culture lover’s paradise. Here are a few must-see series to get you started:
Critically acclaimed dramas
Whether set in a present-day Chicago sandwich shop (The Bear), feudal Japan (Shōgun), or Cold War–era Washington, D.C. (The Americans), the critically acclaimed dramas in Hulu’s deep catalog really turn up the tension.
Must-see reality TV
Hulu’s home to the most talked about reality series and competition shows. Keep up with reality TV’s omnipresent family on The Kardashians. Judge who’s actually there for the right reasons on The Bachelor. Or see participants strive for excellence on American Idol and MasterChef.
All kinds of comedy
Looking for comedy? Don’t miss the surreal humor of Atlanta and the silly shenanigans of The Gang in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Hulu also has hits like Abbott Elementary and Only Murders in the Building, as well as cult favorites such as What We Do in the Shadows and Reservation Dogs.
Based on a true story
Head to Hulu for ripped-from-the-headlines retellings, including The Dropout, Pam & Tommy, Under the Banner of Heaven, Dopesick, The Act, and more. True-crime fan? Don’t miss Elle Fanning’s superbly unsettling performance in the stranger-than-fiction series The Girl From Plainville.
Everything animation
Hulu has a wild and diverse catalog of animated originals, as well as series from Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and FX. Get caught up in a feel-good family comedy (Bob’s Burgers), a sci-fi sitcom (Futurama), or a sharp spy satire (Archer). And don’t miss fan-favorites like Rick and Morty and The Simpsons.
