Hulu is really showing off this September. It has brought us such an amazing lineup that it feels like it is playing a greatest-hits playlist of comfort watches, buzzy originals, and long-awaited returns. No matter whether you are a fan of nostalgic throwbacks, can’t-miss dramas, or sci-fi chaos in the year 3000, there will be something for you to add to your queue. Here are the 10 most exciting Hulu movies and shows this month. We are going to list them starting from number 10 and going to the last one, which is the best.
10. School of Rock
Jack Black’s Dewey Finn, who is a rock god wannabe version of a recent music teacher, goes on to narrate the plot of the film School of Rock”. The 2003 classic has not lost any of its silly, sentimental charm. So if you have already seen it or are watching it for the first time, prepare yourself for the songs to burst!
9. Clueless
Like we would ever forget this one! The cult classic teen rom-com is celebrating its 30 years of existence, and Cher Horowitz is still there, giving looks and one-liners as if it were 1995. Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and the late Brittany Murphy are at their peak in this movie, which is an absolute “Beverly Hills” bash you can’t escape from.
8. Swiped
This Hulu Original dramatizes the ascent of Bumble, starring Lily James as Whitney Wolfe, the entrepreneur who battled Silicon Valley’s boys’ club. Full of startup intrigue, betrayals, and boardroom wars, it’s a wry take on how one woman revolutionized the dating game.
7. Reasonable Doubt – Season 3
Emayatzy Corinealdi returns as force-to-be-reckoned-with lawyer Jax Stewart. Season three of the twisty legal drama that’s made it a Hulu standout original promises all that and more. Courtroom showdowns, hot hookups, and gasp-inducing plot twists count us in.
6. Dancing With the Stars – Season 34
Glitter, gossip, and glittery gossip, yes, it’s all here. With Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro hosting and a cast that includes viral sensation Alix Earle, DWTS is still one of reality TV’s most joyfully messy thrills. Even if you have no interest in the cha-cha, the drama will draw you in.
5. Chad Powers
What started as an Eli Manning sketch has evolved into a full-fledged comedy show. Glen Powell plays a former quarterback embarrassed by a scandal who attempts to mount a comeback under the pseudonym “Chad Powers.” Sports redemption tales don’t typically have this much laughter and mullets.
4. Futurama – Season 13
Good news, folks! Fry, Leela, Bender, and the crew are back for a second go-round of satirical sci-fi anarchy. All 10 episodes are released at once, so you can binge your way through 31st-century anarchy packed with new technology, wacky alien life forms, and jokes that are at the same time dumb and brilliant.
3. The Man in My Basement
Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe star in this unsettling Hulu Original, which takes its inspiration from Walter Mosley’s book. When a stranger offers to lease a man’s basement for money, things descend into paranoia, fear, and social commentary. Equal parts slow-burning and frightening, it’s ideal pre-Halloween watching.
2. Alien: Earth
The cult sci-fi horror series at last receives a series adaptation. Based on the moments leading up to Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece, the series drops us into a grim corporate dystopian future as a research vessel crashes to Earth and releases fresh horrors. Weekly releases ensure the tension will only build.
1. Only Murders in the Building – Season 5
The podcasting detectives are back, and the case comes a little too close to home this time around. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are back, along with newcomers Meryl Streep, Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, and Téa Leoni. The mystery of this season revolves around the murder of Lester, the Arconia’s favorite doorman. Look for biting comedy, tender moments, and so many twists you’ll be guessing till the end.
From campy classics to chilling thrillers and long-awaited returns, Hulu is making September feel like a mini pop culture festival. Clear some space on your watchlist, you’re going to need it.
